	Egg Ghost Egg ghost refers to ''dalgyal guishin'' (), a Korean ghost. Its name comes from its resemblance to an egg. It does not have arms, legs, nor a head, not even eyes, nose, or mouth. Legend says that when a person sees an egg ghost, they will die. Its origin and personality are not significant. Rumor has it that some of egg ghosts' personalities are not incorruptible as time goes by. Or that egg ghosts change to an egg, hide themselves, and come out when they want. Some scholars interpret that egg ghosts are a kind of ''mujagui'' (, hanja: 無子鬼) (literally, a "childless ghost"), which have no descendants or relatives to hold an ancestor memorial service for them.

picture info	Divinity Divinity (from Latin ) refers to the quality, presence, or nature of that which is divine—a term that, before the rise of monotheism, evoked a broad and dynamic field of sacred power. In the ancient world, divinity was not limited to a single deity or abstract ideal but was recognized in multiple forms: as a radiant attribute possessed by gods, as a vital force pervading nature, and even as a quality glimpsed in extraordinary humans, laws, or acts. The Latin and its Greek counterparts (, ) conveyed something both immanent and awe-inspiring: a presence that could be felt in thunder, justice, ecstasy, fate, or beauty. Among the Greeks and Romans, divinity was not confined to a rigid theological system. Gods, heroes, and even emperors might be described as partaking in divinity, just as natural forces or virtue could be seen as expressions of divine essence. Philosophers such as Plato and the Stoics used the term to refer to the soul of the cosmos or the rational order ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
