What's more mysterious than the guy or gal shaman who is a bridge between two worlds? I remember going to soul calling ceremonies all the time as a kid, and never thinking twice about the person behind the mask. It was all such a normal thing that it never occurred to me to be curious. There are so many fascinating and magical things about the Hmong culture that it's a shame so much of it is being lost to current and future generations. I have always enjoyed reading and writing, with a strong preference for fantasy, romance, and even horror stories that provoke the most intense feelings. I love being able to escape into a different world to explore all the possibilities there. "The Shaman and I" was not written to educate people about Hmong shaman practices, but more as a "homage" with a fantasy twist that makes it just as cool as any of the magical practices in so many renowned anime stories. And maybe, just maybe, it might get younger generations interested in our traditional practices again. What are your thoughts about this?
