If both demon and ghost correlate to mental illness. Then it applies to Shamanism as well.
- whole family gather around in circle where the string attached to the dead pig behind them to ward off evil spirits such as ghosts.
- one of the relatives would use the gong to ward off evil spirits also.
- another relatives would hold the shaman in standing position so he goes into spirit realm. Ok? that's hypocritical
- cups filled with rice and incense on the altar. This is for the respect to the dead ancestors believing they will return to physical world.
- after the ritual, the Shaman ties the strings to each family members for lucky charm and protection against omen from evil spirits.
If anyone believing that Shamanism shyte will lead to racism, prejudice, OCD, claustrophobia, paranoia, Karendemic, and inside family problems. All the lists considered as mental illness. Sooner or later that'll escalate to violence.
