Hibiscus Mudang
TheMudang is an ordained shaman-priest in the indigenous korean tradition Mugyo (otherwise known as korean shamanism). She was born in Seoul, South Korea and moved to the United States when she was about 6 years old. Throughout her childhood, she interacted with local spirits but never in such a way that scared her parents. She began to delve into witchcraft at the age of 11 years old. By the time middle school came, she began to suffer spirit sickness. Only about ten years later did her ancestors start visiting her and showing her visions of things she couldn't have known about, and at that point reached out to mudangs to become vetted and begin the process of initiation and training in 2017.
Presently, she has a family and day job on top of her temple care duties. She resides in Washington state and enjoys warm weather, talking about spirituality, and spending quality time with her loved ones.
