Pauline, There is a magazine called "Shaman's Drum" which I have not
found in the UC systems libraries. There was an issue last year
(1994) though that gave extensive coverage of Korean Shamanesses. If you
were to look in a bookstore that carried a wide selection of esoteric
magazines, you might be able to find a current issue, and then find a way
to order back issues. They publish quarterly.
