Gasin faith

These deities, called gasin, are believed to protect the various objects (such as jangdok) and rooms of the house.

In the modern Honam region in southwest Korea, Koreans keep a large pot in the house, filled with rice.

Curiously, the Joryeong faith seems to be based on a matriarchic entity called 'Josang Halmae', or 'Grandmother Ancestor'.

In Jeollanamdo, the Seongjudok, or the pottery in which Seongju was considered to dwell, was filled with barley every spring and rice every autumn.

Teojushin (터주신; 터主神) is the patron of the ground on which the house is built in the Gashin cult of Korea.

Eopsin (업신; 業神) is the goddess of the storage and wealth in Korean mythology and shamanism.

However, unlike other Gasin, who were believed to embody pots, paper, and other inanimate objects, Eopsin is special in that she appears in an animal form.

[citation needed] Cheuksin (측신; 廁神) is the toilet goddess of Korean mythology.

Unlike better-known household deities such as Jowangshin, god of the hearth, her worship forms a minor part of the Gasin cult.
