Stories of Sosin
The mythology of Sosin is preserved in Korean oral tradition, shamanic ritual texts, and classical sources such as the Samguk Yusa. The narratives are not merely stories; they encode social values, ritual obligations, and relationships between humans, nature, and the sacred. Some details vary by region and by shamanic lineage.
When a shaman begins a gut, Sosin is sometimes invoked to open the road between the human village and the spirit realm. Without this opening, prayers and offerings cannot reach their intended recipients.
