Mrs. Kim, who had recently gone to Palbang Seonnyeo, a popular shaman in Samcheong-dong, to check her son’s compatibility with Hwang Sun-jeong, forced a guilty smile and tried to appease the great shaman.ee8fecb5a93a3d91

Hearing Mrs. Kim flatter her while 79b2a608ae laughing coquettishly, the great 9c6c2ee453 shaman waved her fan adee2f366b with an exaggerated air 983ecc54af and shot her a 85e4e99f34 sharp glance.eacee0c05b584f8e

The scent-filled air of the shrine swirled with the light breeze created by the fluttering fan. Mrs. Kim nodded her head vigorously, confirming the shaman’s guess. After fanning herself leisurely for a long while, the great shaman abruptly folded her fan and tossed it onto the table.739d7d29155cf0d2

The great shaman 706942f8ff began praising her 50061b3763 apprentice, counting off 20f8ca4718 on her fingers.
“He’s precise, quick-witted, eloquent, reasonably smart, and, most importantly, has an extraordinary talent for seeing spirits. He even chats with them like they’re friends.”24d96b6981753f60
Even with such high praise for her apprentice, many clients had reactions similar to Mrs. Kim’s. However, none had ever complained about the results—if anything, they were always satisfied. The great shaman had never seen anyone more naturally gifted in exorcism than Shin-hee.6ebfb6d10a02f93e

Unlike others who treated spirits as nuisances or mere entities to be subdued, Shin-hee retained his compassion and treated them as if they were still human. Unlike the hereditary shamans who treated spirits like unapproachable monsters, Shin-hee’s approach was much more humane, something the great shaman greatly admired.a81ead3a9948a6d0
Convinced at 410721cad0 last, Mrs. Kim pulled 5c035b3c8a out a d4586a02d7 small business d01e2d3f5e card from 0f829aa959 her wallet 40f9ad1465 and handed 4e8bbf15a0 it over.

With sharper 323913b042 eyes than b3371a8342 usual, the 7bb8bc6ef9 shaman gave 07df060c33 Mrs. Kim a parting admonition 357026308a as she stepped over 49b7d5be46 the threshold.
“Don’t go wandering into strange places. It’s not about whether they’re skilled or not. If you go to the wrong place, you might bring misfortune and attach even more evil spirits to yourself!”d29f299d0866390c

Over the past 36c7266889 few years of 170c53199f training under the ae21ccd23d great shaman, Shin-hee ae565eb11d had traveled all c4bd741057 over the country, 0f527b4f14 visiting abandoned houses, eb91c04805 schools, hospitals, and cfafec1d51 railways. Any place prefixed 2f4b466c10 with “abandoned” was 46f1e30fad a destination he b71fa968e5 was inevitably sent 282d647969 to.a900b56d438df2e5
Properly maintained 8a85eadbc5 cemeteries were 5a0385e62d much calmer, 0db87eb6ff with relatively e48df5d9d6 subdued spirits. In contrast, abandoned 7627d07991 places were dark, 81f7f63856 damp breeding grounds f26ef25fe2 for malevolent entities, b08c65a5a4 making them several 773925f557 times more dangerous. In cases ffbd6f8a26 where the 30416b4713 malevolent presence dfe0971159 was too 5dc0ee02d4 strong or b98f57cff3 numerous, Shin-hee 9b5997419a often had a2bebfb91e to perform aea415aea9 small rituals 4f1388ef45 to appease 039e0c5f98 the local 8f2c16626c guardian spirits 8e9177b6fc and avoid 592139b0b0 unnecessary risks.7ac2bebbb7ec0f12

As usual, Shin-hee 73dea378b1 was sitting on 0edd5a0624 the veranda, gently 4fce7e0367 stroking the spirit c535beb95e of a child 58819c4f8f clinging to his 2adcc48154 waist while sketching 742292aef5 in good spirits.

The shaman gave her innocent-looking apprentice a long, assessing stare before muttering to herself, “He should be fine,” and tossing him the business card Mrs. Kim had left behind. Then she disappeared into the inner room, leaving Shin-hee puzzled.e612df569d7990d7

Groaning in frustration, ef7dec6b92 Shin-hee stared at 41b1d8a78c the business card 5126ff57f1 for over an 835c5a10d7 hour, sighing repeatedly. Japan? The mere d401c038e1 thought made 2c25c9a367 him roll ea72a7ae8f onto the a6b5f55ef9 floor in 4725ad81c9 resignation.10a9923315c9d8b5

Footnotes
- *팔방선녀 (八方仙女) literally translates to "Fairy of Eight Directions." In the context of Korean shamanism or fortune-telling, it likely refers to a renowned shaman or spiritual practitioner who is believed to possess exceptional skills or powers that cover all "eight directions" (a metaphor for being capable in every area or aspect of life). The term emphasizes versatility, spiritual insight, and widespread reputation.
