Lore

Teojushin variants are localized earth spirits in Korean folklore, acting as territorial guardians of specific lands, fields, or villages, ensuring protection and fertility. Often bound to stones or trees, they watch over harvests and punish those who disrespect the land. Regional variations exist across Korea, with some depicted as benevolent ancestors and others as stern enforcers. Villagers offer rice, fruits, or incense to gain blessings for bountiful crops and safety from disasters, reflecting deep-rooted animistic beliefs in harmony with nature and the land's spiritual owners.
