Encounters with Korean Folk Religion is an account of forty-five years of engagement with the cult of goddesses on Eight Peaks Mountain in Korea's western Kangwŏn Province, the shaman who tended to the goddesses there from 1977 to 2015, and the folk religion of the surrounding village of Eight Peaks. Since the 1980s, South Korea has urbanized and the village of Eight Peaks has been transformed from a remote agricultural village into a rafting and ski resort. While communal worship ceremonies have been dying out in most of Korea, they have only grown on Eight Peaks Mountain, which has been a site of worship since at least the 15th century. What was a small-scale local ceremony in 1977 has grown into a large-scale regional celebration attracting shamans and tourists from far and wide. The manuscript delves in a historically and anthropologically innovative way into the social, religious, and historical reasons for this efflorescence.
