In a exorcism, the Arksa is divided into two types in which one is from the Arksa family and the other from the shaman family. The Arksa and the shaman, however, are very closely connected with each other. So in the family where a wife in charge of shamanism and a husband of Arksa is of ren brought up a Arksa.
The musical instruments in a exorcism are Piri, Haegum, Daegum, Gango, Jegum, Buk, Taepyungso and so on. Among them, the man who only uses the Piri, Haegum and Daegum belongs to the category of the Arksa. The Taepyungso came into it later. Although the role and proportion of the Jango and Gegum ate big in a excorcism, the man controling them is not in the category of a specialized Arksa. Even if so, Jangojabi's role in a excorcism is so important.
The name of the Arksa varies according to how the instruments are composed of A performance with Two Piris, Haegum, Daegum, Jango and Buk is called ‘Sam Hyun Yook Gark’. But the organization of the Arksa decreases case by case.
The cadence of the Seoulgoot is so various that it needs Arksa's exquisite techniques.
A Arksa must have the sense of the music as well as the process of the excorcism, They are all ‘almost-shaman’. A Arksa is a performer, manager and ‘mentor’ teaching excorcism, He must do several things ,cheering every god's exciment up to amuse gods and go the excorcism so smooth.
