ABSTRACT

This discussion will examine the meaning of ‘God of Shamans’ in this mythical enjoyment group through the story of the three brotherhood being the shamanistic god in Chogongbonpul-i. In the secular world and the divine world, the threefold power or desire is contradictory. In the secular world, the three brothers try to do the job with excellent ability in their affairs, but they eventually fail. In the sacred world, the Three Brothers succeed in creating musical instruments and regenerating their mothers. In each world, the role of the father is also different between the interrupter and the helper. This difference makes it difficult to see that the three brothers transcended secularity or naturally carried out in the process of being Gods. They deny or cut off their secular abilities or qualities and become Gods. This is expressed in the text of the sentence as “They make a failure of their palja[八字].” If they are heroes, these religious heroes are not a accomplished heroes but a heroes who have denied a world. The story is about the birth of unconditional as a hero, and it is a story about the relationship between secular and religion, the relationship between human life and shamanism in secular life as a disconnected structure. In conclusion, this myth conveys or builds a dual message of tragedy and self- sufficiency, depending on the aspects of the disconnected structure of the text.
