I feel calm, the storm has ended. (It's December in Gwiyagok so it's still some time before spring, right?)

I can't stop looking at the panel where she's dead. Love it. Btw C.R Jade is great even with drawing teeth -> Jaeshin calling Yeom :D

We have underestimated her, thought she's "wounded", kinda defeated, but what a come back she made!
And if any of you've wondered about the goddess -> it's Baridegi, also known as Princess Bari.
I'll make it short, there're a few versions of this Korean folktale: "abandoned princess", who was born as the 7th daugther so the father (somewhere I saw "parents") abandoned her not long after. Then when she grew up the father became ill and - difference: ordered her to go to the underworld and get the water which brings one back to life, or she decided to go by herself to save his father - a great merit of filial piety, as she went willingly and didn't give in to the end.
On her way it's said, she saved many who were suffering and then in the underworld, after some hardships and/or merit gathering, she gets the water and cures her father. After that she becomes a goddess who leads the dead to the afterlife.
She's a patroness of mudang (Korean shaman), even to this day.

- very detailed, I haven't read it yet ;)

So Yeom was mudang in her life, but I don't know the meaning of the bells. Anyone?
She's also saying smth about the generals of cardinal points. I assume it deals with Buddhism. Might be interesting.

oh i didn't think we would be continuing under this topic lmao. but ig editing it now would remove your reply :(

No worries, you actually haven't spoiled anything :) I just thought: let's be kind and don't create many topics about the raws ;))

what about the bells?
as far as ik from movies is that their significance in shamanism is to create connection to spiritual realms , and to attract the spirits' attention.

( and not just in korean culture specifically. there are variations of such items everywhere . like in Indian traditions , its a really common item to be used in rituals as well as prayers.
its said to ward off evil spirits and any negativity , and its sound is believed to be auspicious and so its often rung while praying to deities at home or when you enter any temple here , you'd find these big bells hung at the entrance which, when you ring them , basically signifies that you're informing the deities of your arrival and then you do the same while exiting. ) -- sorry this turned out to be like a rant. I did not mean for it to get this lengthy (ToT)

apart from that , I'm actually very curious about Yeom's entire shamanic sequence and i don't think MTLing through it is doing justice. so I'll wait for the officials for that.
I think if it's Dec there , then we'll prob have until march/april for spring to come. which means if the queen is gone now , so the focus will shift to jaenok's past?

well that's all ik. now can I just say , that one panel where jaeshin is hugging the prince (jooseung? I'm bad with names) and nok , they just looked so cute . and then that one panel towards the end , when the prince wakes up and nok is playing with geumdong. I'm only hoping its a smooth sailing for everyone from here

.Oooh riiiight, now I see it. It's just her shamanic symbol. Thanks for clarifying! :) And it wasn't a rant - if so, almost my every comment could be deemed as one XD It's not, isn't it? ( T﹏T )

Hm that would be a nice idea! But I doubt in Jaeshin, he won't tell why exactly he's approached him - that's more important imo than making Nok see ghost's, as it wasn't on purpose. It makes him feel guilty (good!) but we can brush it off with "that's fate".
For a second I thought maybe Chaehui or the great evil will be back - but that's very unlikely. Now it doesn't seem there're going to any serious problems. The biggest one will be Nok's dying eventually.

Nok playing with Geumdong was the cutest <3

Jae Shin holding the prince and Lee Nok gave a cute family vib; now I want more. What's gonna happen with the old man from ch1 who Jaeshin tricked when he messed with the book of names? He's still out there!

Guys is the evil queen really dead? It seems she was still alive when the king found her so how did she die afterwards? I just read the chapter so iam sill shocked. I gotta go back and read it once more oO Thanks for your insights about Yeom and the bells
