Chilseong Saenamgut, a ritual for sickness, illness and destruction from Jeju Island, my hometown, because we need to confront the sick and to heal. This ritual is for facing and naming challenges, for purging destructive and monstrous spirits (Heomaengyee-허맹이 *) white supremacy, patriarchal culture – both here and back in our homelands – inviting vital spirits (Chilseong-칠성신 **) back to humanity and the land.
