Abstract

The discussion of this thesis started on the premise that the unificative ritualistic principle is inherent in many of the shamanic rituals for rain. This premise was made by my judgement that the Korean proto type of consciousness is inherent in the shamanic ritual for rain. To verify a hypothesis, I classified many types of the rituals for rain into two groups according to the degrees of the specification of ‘The dragon ritual’. I identified the two ritual elements of the shamanic ritual for rain : ‘Dragon’ and ‘Woman’. Paying attention to the fact that these two elements affect each other as two large axis of the shamanic ritual for rain, I analysed the symbolic icons and the shamanic actions used in the shamanic rituals for rain as the representative types of the subordinate classification, considering the relationship of the two. With the foundings of my analysis, I strongly believe that all of the types, except the part of the violence type regarded as a seriously-modified type, are ‘the homeopathic magic’ of wishing the rain, the so-called the semen of the ‘Heaven Father’, which is formed by the sexual intercourse between ‘Heaven Father’ symbolized as ‘Dragon’ and the symbolic objects of ‘Earth Mother’. ‘Dragon’, relevant to the ‘Heaven Father’, takes shapes of ‘waterfalls’, ‘salamander’, ‘rock of dragon(농바위)’, and the further ideations such as ‘the top of mountain(山上)’, ‘heaven(天)’, and ‘the gate of north(北門)’. And the symbol of ‘Earth Mother’ is materialized as ‘woman’, ‘dragon pool(龍淵)’, ‘tiger’, ‘winnowing tool(키(箕))’, ‘water jar’, ‘willow’, ‘the gate of south(南門)’ etc. It is deduced that only the violence type viewed as a serious modification is degenerated from the stronger entreaty type, developing into the further violence type, caused by the resentment occurring on account of the failure of the rituals for rain. And I came to a conclusion that the Korean shamanic ritual for rain is, even though it is seriously modified one, ‘the homeopathic magic’ inducing the sexual intercourse between ‘Heaven Father’ and ‘Earth Mother’ to form rain.
