I call upon this ritual “Chilseong Saenamgut,” a ritual for sickness, illness and destruction from Jeju Island, my hometown, because we need to confront and heal. This ritual is for facing and naming challenges, for purging destructive and monstrous spirits (Heomaengyee-허맹이 *) white supremacy, patriarchal culture here and back to homeland and inviting vital spirits (Chilseong-칠성신 **) back to humanity and land.
*Heomaengyee: a doll represents monstrous spirits **Chilseong: snakes represent vital spirits
We dedicate this ritual to the struggling earth where we all confront our identity, ancestral blockage, climate change, natural disasters and a global pandemic which has taken so many of lives. Especially for this site ritual, I call out our destructive humanity and the white supremacy of our colonized land.
