Thánh Trần worship
The Thánh Trần worship is a spiritual practice in Vietnamese folk religion associated with the spirit of historical general Trần Hưng Đạo, who repulsed the Mongolian invasions. The shrines are sometimes collectively called Trần Triều, literally "Trần dynasty".
Mediumship with the spirit of Thánh Trần is part of votive dance lên đồng mediumship and particularly associated with Đạo Mẫu, mother goddess worship. Mediums are mainly female, possession of a male by the spirit is viewed as unusual.
