Song Family Village. The Heavenly Court in Song Family Village. 2

Description

Religious life in the village is highly gendered, with female shamans dominating most religious activities. These shamanesses and their gods are organised as a 'court', which expresses a hierarchy of power and prestige analogous to the traditional Chinese imperium focused on the emperor and his ministers.
