Sifu, Monkey God Saved Me...師傅，大聖救了我

Yesterday evening 30 November 2019, went to James and a group of friends birthday dinner. At the dinner I met with Hong, James relative whom I have helped consecrate and installed a Qi Tian Da Sheng 齐天大圣 (Monkey God) statue at his office altar on 15 June 2018.

Hong's Altar at his office just after consecration in 2018

James on and off did update me that Hong have move the statue to Kuala Lumpur this year due to work relocation. Anyhow I did not gave much thought to matter when he told me.

When I saw him last night, his facial colour was very good and with a slight glow. Hong first sentence to me was "Sifu, Monkey God saved me". Then things got interesting as he relayed his encounter. 

About sometime back when he moved the Monkey God statue to KL, one night he had a dream that someone or something was trying to enter his house. In the dream he saw a shadow holding a rod outside his home. When he woke up he thought he dreamt that the Monkey God was going to hit him as the dream was very vague.

Few days after the dream, he had a bike accident. Nothing major and as he was about to lift his heavy bike, he saw on the side of his eyes a female figure wearing red dress standing next to him. When he looked over his shoulder there was no one there.

When he went to sleep that evening, he dreamt of the same lady he saw on the corner of his eyes just right after his bike accident. In his dream he was in an elevator with another male person, and suddenly the lady appear he was very scared and in his dream he asked the other guy whether he saw the lady, he said no at first but then as he tried to focus on the area suddenly the lady appear and the other guy was spooked as well.

Then the lady appeared behind the guy he was talking to, and in the dream he warn the entity to stay away, however as soon as he said that, the entity turned into an ugly figure and he started to have a brawl with the figure. As soon as he woke up from the dream he start to feel really uncomfortable.

When he reached his office that morning, even his colleague were telling him that his facial colour was strange and dark. He started having depressing thoughts and there were many unexpected obstacles. He told us that while riding his bike, he even had suicidal thoughts of just crashing his bike and die. 

He could not think of a way to get himself out of this mental disturbance and also the overall depressed feeling he has been producing. Finally he request for help from the Monkey God by offering 9 incense in the morning and also 9 incense in the evening, requesting for Monkey God deity to help clear all this obstacles he have been experiencing.

The next day everything was cleared. He no longer sense someone following him. His dark facial colour cleared up and he no longer have the depressing down feeling.

All these while his children in the house also sometime will cry loudly at night and his wife would see or feel some strange figure at the house. However his wife did not informed him about it as normally individuals will try to brush off as such occurances as own imagination.

He told me know that he think back, his first dream of the Monkey God was actually protecting his home from the entity who was trying to enter.

He shared with me how he would clean the altar of the Monkey God meticulously each morning as the urn he bought for the altar was quite small (as he remembered we mentioned to him not to allow his altar to have ashes scatter around). 

From his sharing, I can sense that he was highly respectful of the Deity and this also explained why Qi Tian Da Sheng responded swiftly to his strong faith.

His experience also substantiated the point of what I usually inform patrons and members of our temple. Request help and assistance directly from the Kam Dong San Deities, they are there and they hear you. All you need is Faith in them and you will witness their blessings. 

Most issues do not need any talisman and the issues face by members and patrons were directly assisted by the Deities and solved through Their blessings. 

My Affinity with the Monkey God - 2015

http://yinyangjournal.blogspot.com/2015/09/my-affinity-with-monkey-god.html

Golden Tiger General 金虎爷将军

Kam Dong San new temple is about to be completed. One of the final addition to the deities pantheon for the new temple is Golden Tiger General.

Around the second week of October, I have a sense that I need to make a trip to one of the Golden Tiger 🐯 Temple in Taiwan 🇹🇼 to invite the Deity officially from his old temple. 

I have asked for KDS Temple Deities permission and advise that I need to make the trip. My purpose was to just invite the incense ashes 香火 from the temple. Whether the need to invite the statue or not, deities informed me when you reach you shall know. 

The dilemma was because I have already ordered a custom made 24inch statue for the new temple about 2 months back. 

Therefore the trip to Kao Hsiung City, Taiwan was decided in a short span of time due to last minute sense. 

When we arrived this morning at 新港奉天宫 Xin Gang Feng Tian Gong at ChiaYi City about 150km from Kao Hsiung, immediately can sense the strong positive vibrant qi from the 妈祖 Ma Zu Deity (main deity of the temple). 

I have proceeded to officially report and request the incense ash from Ma Zu. 

My sister was also interested in inviting the Golden Tiger Deity for her new office. 

To invite the statue back home or office, the person have to get 3 consecutive positive oracle from the deity (3 Sheng Puay) 

Upon getting 3 consecutive positive oracle, then one have to further get 3 consecutive positive oracle for the size of the statue. Any negative puay then it is considered request not fulfilled. 

My sister requested for her office and also on behalf of her friends. 

While my eldest son suddenly told me he wanted to request the statue back to our home. We have already have a 12 inch statue at home. Anyhow since it is official temple and he request due to his own intention then we let him try. 

He got 3 consecutive positive oracle. As he proceeded to select the size, we thought of maybe a smaller one will do. However he did not get an approval for the small statue. Even the temple volunteers were puzzled. 

Then my sister told me 'The bigger one'. We told the volunteers why not let him try to asked for requesting the bigger size? 

He then got straight 3 positive and the temple helpers says why dont he continue and see how many he will get. He proceeded and got 5 consecutive positive oracle. 

With that, he has officially requested the Golden Tiger General Statue back with him. Unknowingly he was the one with most affinity with this Deity. As our KDS Deities had informed me earlier, you will know when you reach there on whether to invite the statue or not. Such is the way the top works. 

Kam Dong San Temple will also have a 2 feet tall statue of Golden Tiger General. 

The Man with the Triangle Hat

I have helped many members of our temple to install their Earth Deity (地主) and also written few articles in this blog relating to the Earth Deity.

Earth Deities encounters almost 10 years back

More recent Earth Deity to help in work matters

https://yinyangjournal.blogspot.com/2019/03/deities-knows-best.html

Many years ago, my 'spiritual master' taught me how to connect with different earth deities during my meditative stabilization, which is useful when doing the installation as I can advise members on what are preference of offering of the Earth Deity in their household. 

One of my client and temple member in KL Richard (not his real name) when he moved into his factory office 2 years ago did asked me what Taoist Deities suits him best for his new factory. I just advised him to install Earth Deity at the time.

About 2 days ago I received a WhatsApp communication from him that his office staff saw the Earth Deity inside their current office.

His staff saw the Earth Deity in the office. Initially his staff described the outfit of the Earth Deity and the hat in triangle shape as in Vietnamese farmer hat. However later my client confirmed to me it is similar to Qing Dynasty officer’s outfit. http://en.chinaculture.org/2014-12/11/content_584869_2.htm

He went on to inform me that his staff cannot confirm whether it was a Qing Dynasty summer hat or a Vietnamese hat. 

I can confirm it is a Qing Dynasty type of hat. Then one may wonder what is a Qing Dynasty Officer doing in Malaysia? And end up being enshrine as Earth Deity? Well if you looked up Kuala Lumpur history and British Colonial rule era and their elected ‘Kapitan’ then the hat would make sense.

Anyhow I am glad that at least one of his staff saw and able to informed him. As I remember 1 of his staff actually did strike some 4d when asking the Earth Deity for help. Earth Deities can come in many different forms, as long as it was properly consecrated then they will definitely help the household or office.

Taking the wrong path on 7th Lunar Month

On 20 August, I received a message from my Taoist disciple Sam informing me that her wife is being admitted into the hospital for infection. However the doctor have yet to ascertain the root cause of her infection from hive similar patches appearing on her whole body.

She had never had such allergic reaction, and the doctor is taking blood and skin sample for checking. Sam was asking me whether this might be related to something spiritual. On the previous Sunday the wife walked around a public park and the and also climb a briefly on a climbing trail.

I was surprise that they went for some hiking and bring their below 10 children along. Lunar 7th Month is not advisable for children or those with below average luck to go for climbing or water/sea related activities especially with bringing small children along/

Sam worried that his wife might step on 'something' while hiking or accidentally offended some beings in that area.

Immediately I  advised him on what to do which include bring some paper offering back to the place where he suspect she had the encounter.

I went into a brief meditative stabilization and checked with our deities of what had actually happened. Then I saw some sort like a video playback, Sam's wife walking along some jungle like area with her daughter and they pass a path with what I assume was a family/group of Tree Spirits. Inside my mind I saw the looked like a group of people wearing ghillie suits (camouflage suits used by snipers) but instead the leaves were real leaves.

Deities informed me then, if Sam did what he was instructed to remedy the situation, her wife would have strong signs of recovery the next day.

The next day morning, I message him asking how was his wife's condition. He told me about the same and also doctor informed him that they do not know what was the cause of those patches but it does not seems to be dangerous (not something internal). I immediately asked him how much paper offering did he brought with him when he went to offer near the site. He told me he brought 1 bag but decided to burn only half as there were many people walking around the area. I almost wanted to faint, no wonder there is no change in the wife's condition.

I advised him to go buy another bag and add with whatever leftover the day before, bring it immediately to the site again and offer that very evening.

Met Sam and his wife and children few days later at the temple during the Fa Zhu Gong Celebration, can see there is still some residue qi left in her body and also his daughter's surrounding aura. Gave them 3 talisman to clear and also help push out the remaining qi during the deities blessing.

We met again 6 days later during Cheng Huang Celebration, her face was all cleared but left faint marks on the leg but it is clearing. I advised her not to go near hill or seaside until all her marks are cleared.  When I uttered those words, I thought I must be silly, as it was actually quite a trauma for her to go through and I assume she would have no plans to go near the hill anytime soon. To my surprise, she told she she was actually planning to go back there that weekend during the holiday!

Once a person have some encounters with spiritual beings or their energy, and if it has left a marked on the body, you would need to wait for the mark to completely disappear before doing anything similar or go to places that are more risky spiritually. If not then it would be a huge problem, as that signifies that your own energy field/ yang qi has already been breached or what commonly known as low luck period.

Her case was easily solved due to the fact that she is a Kam Dong San temple disciple. I have heard other cases of encounters with tree spirits/beings that left permanent lifelong problems to their health even after the matter was resolved.

Personal Spiritual BodyGuard

Ever thinking of hiring a spiritual bodyguard?

Protectors are in most traditions of religions. Some are called Guardian Angels, some are call Protectors 护法神, Dharma Protectors 金刚护法. In Taoism they are the Heaven and Earth Marshalls 天地兵将。

Dharma Protectors function is to guard the practitioners in their cultivation path from distractions, obstacles and possible sway from their cultivation.

Whereas if you are a Taoist Cultivator, specific Deities will be assigned as your Protectors. They will be guarding the cultivators on all life threatening situations and also warn you when you sway off the path in using Tao Fa beyond its means and moral ethical lines.

Then what are Spiritual Bodyguards? It is more specific made to guard a person from calamity, spirit attack, spirit harm, accidents and also others chipping into your personal body energy (aura) through gossip and bad mouthing you at your back. There are others that are made with 'extra' functions.

It seems like there are different versions of the almost the same reference across cultures. In European witch craft it is called Poppet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppet . 

Poppet usually stiched up by person and add strands of hair and other material.

While for Chinese culture we call them 替身 Ti Shen or a substitute. In Taoist process, it can also be use for a variety of reasons. As a form of body substitute to prevent spiritual attack, sometimes there are practitioners that use it to store the consciousness of others.

These are made by me personally. The materials needed are more difficult to acquire.

In Tibetan culture also there are practice in which use dough and butter to create an effigy of human form and use the dough and butter to roll on your skin, this is to appease the spirits and demons whom are after you or have caused difficulty in your life.

In Thai/Khmer@Cambodia wicha (magic/witchcraft) it is called Hoon Pa Yon. For Thai Hoon Pa Yon, it is also use for a variety of purposes, from using as body double to prevent harm to the owner to using it as a relationship enhancement for 2 person. It is also sometime use for wealth fetching and a absolute spiritual double of the owner.

Types of Hoon Pa Yon

For Wicha mainly it is divided into 2 types. Either spirit infuse or total non spirit. If it is spirit infuse, then the maker would seek permission from a spirit to include its 魄 Po which does not have consciousness into the Hoon Pa Yon. Then the maker would chant and imbued it with magic until it has the 32 Aspects of a Living Human, it will then take on the spiritual form of its owner.

Hoon Pa Yon made with straws and strings using the traditional method.

Spirit infuse Hoon Pa Yon using a very traditional method.

Non Spirit Base Hoon Pa Yon.

While non spirit Hoon Pa Yon are similiar to elementals. The maker would use wicha to chant until it is has the 32 aspects of human quality. There is no spirit inside the effigy.

Rare Item

As in all things in the material world, as it get more and more commercialize, then it is harder and harder to find magical items that really does its function according to traditional legendary stories that have been going around. Hoon Pa Yon in the Thai tradition is not in the exception. 

Good and capable masters that can make good Hoon Pa Yon are rarer than finding dry straws on a monsoon season. Either by reputation of the maker or through spiritual sense can a person really know the Hoon Pa Yon is the real thing. It is not making cookie or tying up straws to resemble effigy, real wicha/magic needs to make it work in order for it to be effective.

Hoon Pa Yon that can be use to enhance relationship (Soul Lock)

One of my own spirit base bodyguard.

Most of the pictures shown above are my own collection, some of it have already been sold to friends that need it. An extra body double is always welcome in world of back stabbing, finger pointings, petty people and not forgetting curse and black magics .

A Matter of the Heart

On 14 June received a whatsapp message from V a temple member. Asking me whether I will be going to the temple in the evening. 

V told me that she went to clean up her old apartment, that she has not stayed in for the past 10 years. During the cleaning as she hired 2 temporary cleaner, 1 of the cleaner fainted after she clean a room inside the apartment. That afternoon itself she also feel unwell and decided to go for check up.

As it was someone other than herself that fainted, I did not think she was experiencing anything serious. She told me she felt dizzy and we suspect it might be high blood pressure. Durian season is in and also glutinous dumpling festival period.

Later that evening she told me she will be staying the night in hospital for further check up due to irregular ECG reading found by the doctor. I thought she was already in good hands as she was in the hospital due to medical reason. That evening itself, I was also preparing talismans for various different reasons. Due to some feeling was not right, I decided to enquire with the Deities on whether should issue her some talisman. The answer I received was to issue her 2 different talisman.

As I became more curious about what actually happened, I decided to go into meditative stabilisation. It became evident to me that her old apartment for 10 years have 2 spiritual inhabitants inside. An old uncle and also a small child about 6 to 7 years old from the way they appeared. They were most likely attached to the room her cleaner was cleaning that afternoon.

After she has ingested the talisman in the hospital for consecutively 2 days (3days in total), she informed me she dreamt of someone chasing her and woke up with high bp of 180. I have also asked her to wear the Lighting Strike wood talisman that her sister have requested some years back.

About 5 days later in the hospital, she was scheduled for her angiogram and if needed would be installing a stent as doctor suspect she might be having heart blockage. I have also advised her to buy some paper made items to be burn a the entrance of her old apartment. Her angiogram test showed she only have 20% blockage and do not require stent installation and was allowed to go home.

Sometimes those whom luck is down, when they are admitted in the hospital, one complication might lead to another and some very few will have even more spiritual disturbance that render them unable to be discharge.

When she arrived home, she burnt another talisman that I have given her, that was for separating any spirits that might have followed her from either the old apartment or from the hospital. She took a photo of her apartment floor where she burned the talisman. If you have Yin Yang Eyes then you would be able to see the image of the old man and also the face of the child in this photo.

The following day she snap another photo on her floor after the rain. As I have adviced her to to notice anything different after she was back home.

After noticing the above watermark, only she realized that she had accidentally put the talisman I have given sometime after Chinese New Year into the washing machine that morning.

How she got this talisman was also another arrangement by the Kam Dong San Deities. Every year those who are members of the temple, their name, date of birth and address would be presented to the Main Deities of our temple to check for whether anyone need to come back personally to the temple to ask for special blessings or procedure.

She and few others' name were shortlisted after receiving 3 consecutive oracle 圣杯 confirming that they need to come back for special advice. Deities advice was to issue her a Hua Sha 化煞 talisman to carry for the year. I have then issue her a 保命符 Talisman for Life Protection  (pic above). When she forward me the photo, only then I remembered issuing her such a talisman.

Our temple Deities have already foreseen that she might be in danger, hence she was call back to temple and being issued such talisman. Coincidence? Not likely.

When I saw her last week during our Fish Liberation, her facial color was back to normal and hopefully she recovers soon.

Looks like Guan Yin, Feels like Guan Yin but not Guan Yin

Was in KL for J's new office (one of my recent client) audit recently. On the way to his office he told me that his brother also lives nearby his supposedly new office area.

Then he followed by telling me that his brother and sister in law who is living in the brother's current house all have been seeing shadows moving around the house since few years back.

J was the client with many Kumanthongs in my Blog entry here. Apparently J suspected that his brother's house the deity energy is no longer there as in the case of his own home and office.

After I have selected the new office location for him, he proceeded to drive me to his brother's house. Actually I was not prepared for any ghost busting activity that day, as earlier prior to meeting J in Kuala Lumpur, I was at a client's factory and also met up with another Singaporean client in Shah Alam in regards to the client occupation problem. Spiritual handling was not in the agenda!

Anyhow, in my fact finding questions, I found out J's bro had already asked some spiritual medium from nearby temple to his house to check upon this issue, and the medium informed him that someone was trying to hex the house and also end up consecrating a 'Datuk' earth deity in front of his house compound. 

However J told me after the brother paid a sum for the consecration, later they still have been seeing shadows around the house.

His brother did not went back to that temple because he was concern that he might need to pay extra for whatever remedy the medium would recommend.

When I reach his brother's home, I saw a big yellow Datuk earth deity house outside his main door on the right side. Upon entering his home, I saw his simple altar of a Guan Yin statue and the Earth Deity below.

Actual Guan Yin Statue

As I approached the altar, I sense an energy presence similar to all other type of Taoist altar. I was then wondering, how come members of this house is seeing shadows when the Guan Yin altar still has energy radiating outwards.

As I walk closer to the altar, and looked right into the face of the Guan Yin statue, suddenly the energy I was feeling suddenly went flat. Nothing. As though as simple ornament statue. I tried to sense again by calming my mind standing near the altar but it was totally nothing there.

Whatever it was, when I walked into the house was trying to fake the signature energy pattern of consecrated altars. I did not think further, whatever it was, it cannot remain in the statue. I proceeded to do the clearance of the statue and re-invitation (albeit a simple process due to lack to tools).

Then written some energetic talisman symbol on water and asked his brother to sprinkle from inside to outside of the house.

When consecration is done, the altar again has a constant flow energy, it doesnt flow and stop like before.

When checked all is ok, I advised J to collect some talisman from me when he visit our temple in Penang to burn into the urns to eradicate and seal for good.

Deities Knows Best

Sometime before Chinese New Year 2019, my Tao Fa disciple M Whatsapps me saying that he encounter some problem at work.

Apparently he and his workmates was complaint by a colleague at work that could lead to Domestic Inquiry by their Human Resource Department.

After he informed me on the whole situation, it was obvious it was a unfounded allegation. As he has voice his concern to me, although he did not ask for help specifically... The next day I went into a brief meditative stabilisation and enquired with our temple Deities whether I should intervene using Tao Fa. 

Deities instructions was that the matter would resolve on its own, however my disciple need to go to his company area and 'report' to the local 'Datuk' @ local earth deities on his circumstances. He just needs to inform the earth deities that he is a disciple of our temple and inform on his problem at work. 

Today I received a good news and closure for his case. 

Being a KDS Temple disciple has many advantages, whats more if a Tao Fa Disciple.

Our temple requirement for temple disciple is the person must be a member for 1 year and upon request subject to approval by Deities will become a temple disciple. Those that have been helped by me using Tao Fa is mandatory to become temple disciple. 

Although requirement for a Temple Disciple for the first year is to attend all 3 Main Deities Celebration. 2nd year onwards compulsory yo attend the Celebration of Jin Ying Zu Shi 金英祖师 when one is in the country with exception given to those on working assignments.

Although the requirement sounds simple, many still fail to fulfill it. When one is having problems, any promise can be made. When one is trouble free, any excuses will deem to be a fact.

Making of the Invisible Child 3 - Thai Necromancers Invisible Partner - LukKrok

In my early days of Taoism, I have a tendency to be open and seek out Masters, friends and contacts of those in various traditions from Taoist medium, Muslim healers, Indonesian Shamans to Thai Wicha or Occult masters. Those were young curious days.

After taking on the responsibility of Tao Fa and vision of setting up Kam Dong San Temple in Penang, my quest for different traditions slowed down but nevertheless I have maintain good contacts with many Masters and experts in different traditions and consider them as lifelong friends. As we say in Chinese 同台吃饭 各自修行, sitting together having a meal, but each one to their own cultivation, means end of the day each must walk their own spiritual path in cultivation as each have their own calling in life.

This article is written in conjunction with the 2nd installment of my article The Making of Invisible Child  (Kumanthong) 2 .

Each tradition of Magic or Sorcery has a source to draw its power from, for Yang Energy Sorcery 阳法 some will be from Deities within the lineage (Tao Fa 道法), some will be from the ancestors, some will be from elemental, some will be from Protectors of the Lineage and for Necromancers, it will be from spirits of the dead.

Image from https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerlisting/images/9/92/Necromancer_1005.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180519075758

Description from WikiPedia

Necromancy (/ˈnɛkrəmænsi/)^[1][2] is a practice of magic involving communication with the dead – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge, to bring someone back from the dead, or to use the dead as a weapon, as the term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.^[3][4]

For the Thai, Cambodia Laos tradition of Wicha, the Necromancers or those practicing the lineage of using Spirits (阴法） for their work will definitely have a LukKrok as part of their Yin Marshalls 阴将.

So what is LukKrok?

LukKrok in the most traditional sense are unborn babies that have not seen the daylight. Meaning aborted naturally because they cannot continue to form into full human babies or they are remove from dead pregnant mothers who died from encountered mishaps.

Aborted babies due to decision made by the mother is not considered LukKrok in strict sense. Those are considered KumanThongs potentials only.

Why do Thai Necromancers uses LukKrok?

It is the blend of the innoncence of an unborn being and the unfortunate events that caused them to be chained to this physical plane of existence. On 1 angle, they have not yet experience life and the innocence of a child, while on the other angle of being curse by circumstances to be doom onto this plane as a spirit with no way of getting onwards to further re-birth. That creates a full level of anguish and hatred. From this sense, the power of LukKrok then becomes immense if compared to normal human beings who have experienced life and becomes ghost or spirits. Those departed are just ghosts with certain unresolved attachments that holds them back from re-birth.

How does Lukkrok develops its immense power? 

After the Necromancer obtained the unborn child's body, it will then uses a ritual to summon and convert the hatred energy into a spiritual force to then infused onto the unborn spirit. This is usually done by roasting it, a ritual of rebirth through fire until it becomes almost carbonised form. Then it is further chanted and enhanced by the spiritual incantion. After all pacification ritual is done and enhancement is being infused, it is officially a LukKrok. 

What is the difference between Kumanthong and LukKrok?

Most of KMT is being done by monks in their compassion for child spirit, hoping that they would be able to be reborn soon if they helped the person that invites them home. Sharing of merits with the KMT is a form of compassion in hope that they enter the cycle of rebirth soon. And usually KMT are Theps or child devas, if not they are 1 child spirit but usually being separated into many amulets and effigies for devotees.

LukKrok on the other hand, is 1 whole spirit residing in its carbonised body kept by the Necromancers. Chances of entering re-birth again is minimal due to the circumstances that be fall upon the child before he was even born. If LukKrok can be send off for re-birth easily, high level monks in Thailand would not be keeping the LukKrok that they found or pass on to them in the temple halls and daily chantings for many decades.

LukKrok at Wat Chang Yai - Photos from https://www.ayutthaya-history.com/Misc_LukKrok.html

What do the Necromancers do with the LukKrok?

From conducting rituals of love binding, charms, hex or even curse, the Necromancers can use the LukKrok to do their bidding. Because the invisible child only follows and obey the command of the necromancers, regardless of any moral and ethics consideration. If the Necromancer main service is to help others, then the LukKrok would at least be receiving some merits, however it is very unlikely to find such type of Necromancer.

Any transporting of foetus, bodies and human body flesh parts among countries is illegal. Thailand have also banned this practice long time ago, yet there are still interested parties that look for such items.

Traditionally they are the companions of the Necromancer, but when those who decide to commercialised it make up big stories about how it would gather richness and fame if one were to obtain it. Just like ritual implements and items in Taoist and Vajrayana. Having it without knowing what to do with it, is the same as a museum piece.

For LukKrok however, having the being at your side, but do not know what to do with them is more dangerous in every sense of the word.

The purpose of this article is to let the readers know where do Thai Necromancers draw their power from and also distinguishing what is Kumanthong and LukKrok. Too often they are lump together as one subject.

Making of the Invisible Child (Kumanthong 古曼童 ) 2

I have written an article about Kumanthong 古曼童 10 years ago on this blog here Making of Invisible Child 1.

A continuation of the article was prompted by my recent case of a client with many Kumanthong (KMT) that seems to backfire on his brother.

Photos from https://moveek.com/en/bai-viet/kumanthong-thien-linh-cai-hai-loai-bua-chu-hoan-toan-khac-nhau-bi-lam-tuong-la-mot/

This article will serve as a cautionary purpose and also to dispel myths created by many YouTube channels in Asia on the negative effects of Kumanthong. 

1. First and foremost, before invitation of Kumanthong, the person need to ask themselves, what are the motivation to invite them? 

Most that I have heard is to help on wealth and especially 4D or lottery. To me that is the unrealistic and bound for failure in terms of expectation. Either the KMT is a Thep which is a low level Deity/Deva or a spirit type also requires merit to do their work. 

As I have highlighted to readers in many of my blog articles, any beings that help a person accelerate the wealth or sudden wealth have to pull it from somewhere, meaning using up the person's existing merit 福报 to manifest the wealth.

If the person already low on merits, then no matter how they wish or pray and ask from their KMT, it is difficult to render help or to assist in making things fall into place.

Then there are those that already got what they wanted or helped by their KMT but they did not do their replenishment of merit. Then they see thing went downhill or got worst than before they invited their KMT.

2. Can the person commit to long term offering? Daily and also weekly offerings are needed. And depends on the type of KMT some are really ghost child and not low level deities, and to sustain their form or spirit they need offering...many like the idea of an invisible friend to help on money but not many can commit long term. Just look at the numbers of abandon pets, those are animals that we can see. For KMT, the easy way to think is that most likely they are not there, all are imagination only, to justify for their own lack of will or any excuse to support their action.

3. For those that are searching the web and thinking, do process it in your mind thoroughly, KMT are not created to satisfy a person need of having a cute idol or follow a latest gothic trend or even fashionable.

My recent client J, who owned a lot of KMT in his office, was experiencing serious financial trouble. Although it was not caused by KMT, but it started from the shop that they invited the KMT.

The shop owner reinstall or what we call reset all the Taoist Deities in his house and office. When I reach his house, his Taoist Deities on altar all was empty, so was the Tua Pek Kong at his shops 福德正神. The only remaining active spiritual items are his KMT.

After advising him on his house Feng Shui, I then proceeded to his office for audit, when the office door opened, I sense an energy wave from his KMT altar. The Taoist altar energy is empty. I then advised him to go back to the temple that have consecrated the Taoist Deity for him to reconsecrate the statues.

When we reached his office on the 3rd Floor, there is room in front in which he place few Buddha statues, incense urn and also some Tibetan Prayer Flags. I then asked him what was all those about, he told me he learn from certain Feng Shui author about venerating Buddha statues and also performing incense prayers. All those statues however are not consecrated. And he told me previously some of his staff told him they felt something in the room. I felt it as well, but it is more of a roaming entity. After I returned home, I sent him some Taoist talisman to settle his house and office problem.

I have also proceeded to advice him on how to request and communicate more  effectively with his big group of KMT. It was the right decision on him for not trying to abandon the KMT when his finances turn bad. As a matter of fact, it was his brother that invited those KMT one after the other when he strike some lottery upon having his first KMT. But was the first one to abandon all offerings when they were hit by financial difficulty.

If he were to abandon them as well, then most likely his predicament would be much more worse that what he was experiencing then.

Today as of writing this blog, I have just receive another message from him that his finances and life is much more stable than before....

A Cold Pre CNY at Cheng Huang Hall

It has been a while since I have updated this blog. Most of my 'adventures' or updates are on Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/mastergkham

I had many incidences and cases to write about. However my latest experience would need to be blog asap.

As many readers/followers of this blog knows, my relationship and affinity with the Penang City God, goes back more than a decade ago, even before the Kam Dong San temple was setup at Harbour Trade Centre at Macallum Penang.

It was the Eve of Chinese New Year 2019, as usual we would be in the temple to setup the 赵公明元帅 Zhao Gong Ming Wealth God altar for 5th Day Celebration and also other preparation activities. 

For more than 10 years every year on the eve of CNY, I would visit the Cheng Huang Temple in Penang and when Kam Dong San have its own Cheng Huang Hall when I started offering yearly at our temple as well. 

This is a personal gesture of thanks and gratitude given to Cheng Huang and all his officers. 

When I started doing this practice, and other members that came to temple on eve of CNY notice it they also follow suit. Previous years we have quite an abundance of offering at Cheng Huang Hall on the eve itself.

This year I have prepared the seafood steamboat bowl, roasted pork belly and roast chicken. I have not prepared other stuff as I assume other regulars would also be bringing their offering. 

When I arrived and placed my offering at the table, something was amiss this year after we finish the setup at the main hall. 

Other than my own offering there is no other offering. Regulars did not show up this year.

When I use the oracle to ask whether the offering was ok, I received a NO on the first throw. 

Then it dawn upon me it is going to be long offering session. I then ask for forgiveness from Cheng Huang and all officers, then kindly requested again whether we could make it up for the offering on 5th Day CNY since on the eve, most food stall already close. Again the answer was straight no. I did not enter into meditative stabilisation as it was quite obvious. However when asking through the oracle, I can sense a lot of noise and a feeling of disgruntled. 

I then quickly ask temple committees to rush and go to purchase some fried chicken at local franchise, or else it will be a long day. 

When the committees rush back with the fried chicken, I quickly offered at the table including with other snacks that came with the combo. 

Then I quickly seek to ask whether the offering is now okay. I immediately get a confirmation. This was witness personally by the commitees. 

After we waited for about 30 minutes, I then did 3 prostrations to seek for forgiveness from the whole Cheng Huang Department on my overlooked and misjudgement on this matter and vow to not repeat such mistake. Immediately I receive another confirmation. 

2020 Chinese New Year, our temple will be fully in charge on the Cheng Huang Hall Pre CNY offering and no longer rely on my assumptions that others will consistently show up due to their past offering of thanks. 

Will Cheng Huang Department still be as efficacious in their actions on member's request for help? That we will have to find out for ourselves.
