Legends of the Immortals: A World of Fairy Spirits

Shamanism is a form of witchcraft widely practiced across Northeast China's three provinces. Through rituals such as "mounting the horse" and "inviting the gods," shamans invite immortal beings to possess them, becoming a bridge between mortals and the divine. In Northeast China, such people are also called "pole carriers" or "spirit mediums," and their work is shrouded in an air of mystery. As a native of Northeast China who has experienced an "invitation of the gods," I have always been fascinated by shamanic culture and eager to explore it. So, despite my limited writing skills, I have crafted this winding, mysterious, and entertaining tale.
