Wu (shamans)

Wu, in the context of Chinese tradition, refers to shamans or spiritual practitioners believed to communicate with the spirit world. They perform rituals, offer guidance, and heal through a deep connection with nature and ancestral spirits. Wu practitioners often utilize trance states, divination, and traditional medicine to address the spiritual and physical needs of their community. Their role is vital in addressing life's challenges, such as illness or misfortune, by restoring harmony between individuals and the spiritual realm. This practice reflects a rich cultural heritage that values the interaction between the human world and the supernatural.
