Nulgupjisin


Nulgubjishin, also known as Nadgarishin is the deity of Nulgub, an area where grain are stored and ground into flour, in Korean mythology, as well as being the deity of grain. He is considered the weakest of the Gashin, the household deities of Korean mythology. There is thus no Gut nor Bonpuli dedicated to Nulgubjishin.

Rite

The rite dedicated to Nulgubjishin was a short one. In the Gakdobinyeom Ritual, where shamans prayed to all of the Gashin, shamans put food inside a jug and went to the Nulgub. The shaman then prayed to Nulgubjishin to ensure a good grain harvest and the protection of the family from misfortune or Gwishin. The shaman then placed the food that he brought on the Nulgub with a spoon.
Because he was considered to be the weakest of the Gashin, the rite dedicated to Nulgubjishin was the last rite in the Gakdobinyeom Ritual There is no myth or story of its shape, about Nulgubjishin.
