Witchcraft - Black Magic
This Article is targeting on the Singapore Kids and Western folks who don't believe in Black Magic.
Anyway, since You have ended up in this Article from the Search Engine means You strongly know that Witchcraft/ Black Magic is REAL. So kindly invite Your friends and the Public to this Taoist Sorcery Blog-Site.
The problem with kids and teenagers born in Singapore with their I-Know-Everything Attitude (influenced by Western Culture) and also the Chinese from City Lifestyle of Northern China immediately condemn Witchcraft is fake.
Kids and adults from other parts of South East Asia such as Malaysia, Thailand ,Indonesia, Philippines will know that Witchcraft / Black Magic is real. The countryside dwelling kids from Southern China will also immediately agree to the existence of Black Magic.
Kids and Adults who are living or have relatives staying in rural part of their country will have seen live footage of exorcism done on folks who are hexed by Black Magic or they have personally attacked by Black Magic, which is why it is not a matter of believe or not to believe but the fact that Black Magic is Real.
By knowing the true fact that Black Magic is real, Folks of this group are always well prepared and well protected with Talismans and Amulets. In any point of time, they are still so unlucky to be hexed / attacked by Black Magic , they still can get immediate help from Temples in their neighbourhoods and Masters in their close network.
The problem in Singapore is far too many Singapore Kids and Adults are too modernized and western minded. Even the Bomohs (Black Magic Masters of Malaysia / Indonesia) and also the Taoist Masters who had migrated to Singapore from China, who brought along their Magical Skills and Knowledge, were not able to pass down to their decendants because their kids are not interested to learn.
Some may say -" Well isn't it good that no more people practice Black Magic and We won't get hexed by Evil Magicians?" THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM. Since people stop knowing the truth that Black Magic is around us, no one will take precaution and once if You are hit by Black Magic You can't get help and You may not even know You are hit by Black Magic and by the time You understand the truth You are Hit by Black Magic , You don't know where to get help. This is the very BIG PROBLEM faced by Singaporeans and Western Folks.
BLACK MAGIC or "GONG TAU"（降头） is very good business ( No Competitors in Singapore - At most there are just few exorcists left to clear the Hex , instead of casting the Hex) and very easily executed onto Singaporeans in Singapore because of the very reason that no precaution is taken. If You need to seek revenge, without wanting to physically harm or kill Your enemy with Your own hands and protect Yourself from Death Sentence for killing someone, or going into prison, and You have decided to use Black Magic instead, look for the Email at the Right Hand Corner of "Taoist Sorcery" Blog Site and send an email . We shall see what can be done and the service charge. Killing someone by Black Magic is not always a good option. The fun is using Ghosts / Spirits to disturb the person or whole family in the house.
Another advantage for Black Magic Practitioners to cast spells on Singaporeans is that the victims cannot go to the Police and complain:" Someone use Black Magic on me". Even if it is real and even the Police personally believe in Black Magic but in SINGAPORE LAW,there is no such thing as "BLACK MAGIC".
So now You know, only idiots still use their hands,legs and weapons to attack their enemies while the smart ones use Gong Tau / Ilmu Hitam (Black Magic in Malay) - Black Magic.

To the Western Folks, When You think of the term " Witchcraft", very often the 1st thing come to mind is "VOODOO" - African Black Magic . You have come across so many websites about Voodoo and also read a lot about Western Witchcraft. Voodoo and also Western Witchcraft are real, but the problem , which You also know, is that the internet is full of useless hocus-pocus kiddy spells and chants created by I-ALSO-WANT-TO-BE-A-WITCH wannabes. And then You start to think :" I heard of Taoist Magic and Taoist Talismans are real and powerful".. which is why You end up in this Taoist Sorcery Blog Site and other Related Blog Sites >> Kumantong 4 U , Talismans 4 U, Kumantong 4D Power, Chinese Gods of Wealth
Many adults from all over the World, especially the English Educated ones, who use to not believe in anything spiritual, and happily follow the norm of society , such as going to work like a Mad Dog and as long as bills are able to pay off every month , they will continue with the I-AM-THE-GREATEST-ON-EARTH and I-KNOW-EVERYTHING attitude but then.......... once they get retrenched from their job or desperate for money and life is going down hill and then they start to ponder "is there god ( or ghost or spirit) that can come to my aid now? I need help immediately!! Maybe Win The Lottery would help? Please any Human / Deities/ Ghosts to help me right now?! " so often they end up in this Blog Sites too >> Kumantong 4 U , Talismans 4 U, Kumantong 4D Power, Chinese Gods of Wealth
By the time You are already in deep Shit and then to seek help from Deities/ Ghosts/ Black is already too late.

GONG TAU (降头 In Hokkien/Teochew/Cantonese) or JIANG TOU((降头In Mandarin) is a kind of witchcraft prevalent in South East Asia.
Whenever someone got attacked by Black Magic, the Chinese Folks in South East Asia will refer it as "TIO GONG TAU" (中降头）.
GONG TAU evolves from the fusion of Poison Magic Skills (GU-SHU) of Yunnan China and the Witchcraft / Black Magic of South East Asia ,which originated in India.
Most Witchcraft or Black Magic of different Cultures look almost the same. They are just called by different names and different rituals are performed due to their unique religious influence and believes.
GONG TAU is often executed for the purpose of revenge ， relationship matters and money issues.
The rituals of summoning Ghosts/Spirits/Demons by the Taoist Sorcerers whereby the typical style of using Paper Talismans to command ghosts/spirits/demons for the purpose of possessing, harming or disturbing the subjects are also popularly known as GONG TAU by the Chinese living in South East Asia, not just the Black Magic found in South East Asia.
Chinese Gong Tau Master
In Taoist Black Magic, usually Paper Talismans alone with rituals are enough to summon ghosts / spirits and demons to hex the victims. However, to add personal power and also self-protection , the Chinese who migrate to other parts of South East Asia , such as Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia combine their own Taoist Black Magic Skills with whatever witchcraft is practiced in the area that they chose to settle down. This kind of combination of Taoist Magic and Witchcraft of S.E.A can be found in MAO SHAN SECT Practitioners, who settled down in South East Asia. The group of Chinese Folks of Mao-Shan-Sect (茅山派) that settled in Thailand is known as SIAM MAO SECT （暹茅派）.
Taoist Sorcerers need to also understand, study and research on the witchcraft practiced in the country that they had chosen to settled down, in order to create new Talismans and rituals to handle and counterstrike the Black Magic of the area.
GONG TAU can be Spiritual Related or Non-Spiritual related..
1) Non-Spiritual Gong Tau means to have a direct consumption of the Evil Magic Concoction(GU DU) by the Victim. It is mixed in the food or in the drink for the victim to consume. The victim will be controlled or torture by the Black Magic Practitioner later at a far distance. In some cases, it is to let the Victim has a slow death. Modern Medicine has no cure on Black Magic Poison. The only solution or antidote can only be requested from the Black Magic Master who cast the spell or from a Taoist Master well trained in Sorcery.
2) Spiritual Gong Tau means to cast the Gong Tau from a far distance, by ritual and spells. In order to do so, the Gong Tau Master need to have high level of spiritual power to execute it. The birth data , personal belongings or hair and finger nails are needed. The location of the targeted person has to be known too.
Listed below are the popular Gong Tau most people come across:
Straw Effigy Gong Tau (草人降)
Straw Effigy is often used by Taoist Black Magicians as it is very cheap or free to obtain. A soul capturing mantra is recited to summon the soul of intended victim to be attached to the Straw Effigy. Needles are then stuck to the Straw Effigy to inflict pain and harm on the victim. Sorcerer with strong spiritual power can kill an intended victim living in another part of the world.
GONG TAU OIL （降头油） - Corpse Oil
Gong Tau Oil is collected by using the fire of a candle and burn on the skin of the chin of a dead woman. The oil collected is known as Gong Tau Oil. It is mainly used to make someone fall in love or lust. Women usually use Gong Tau Oil for relationship matter and Men usually used it to make girls/women want to have sex with him.
GU Poison （蛊毒）- Black Magic Concoction Of Poison
Gu Poison is created by sealing several venomous creatures ( centipedes, snakes, scorpions, poisonous frogs, lizards etc) into a closed utensil, where they devoured one another and allegedly concentrated their toxins into a single survivor. GU Poision is used for the purpose of manipulating sexual partners, creating malignant diseases, and causing death. Popular Example: Five Poisons Gong Tau(五毒降头)
Flying Head Gong Tau (飞头降)
The Black Magician detached it's head at night and capable of flying about on its own. The head will glide in the sky searching for human blood.
Menstrual Blood Gong Tau (经血降)
Menstrual Blood of a Girl/Woman is added to the food and consumed by the intended Victim. The intention of Menstrual Blood Magic is often to tie or bind a lover or sexual attraction. It is also often used by Maids from South East Asia to make the employers nicer or even listen to them.
There are few choices of destroying the Gong Tau attacked on the individual.
The victim will seek the help from a Monk (Buddhist Faith), Bomoh ( Malay or Indonesian ) or Taoist Master. Sometime there will be a spiritual battle fought between the Gong Tau Master with the one engaged to destroy the Gong Tau. Often the best option is just to wipe out the Gong Tau on the victim without fighting a spiritual battle, if not, the chance of the Master being engaged might lose the battle and get killed. The spiritual battle is truly fighting spiritually with spells and rituals, without body combat.
ALWAYS TAKE PRECAUTION:
Most Western Folks and also many English Educated Chinese and also Singaporeans are too Modernized and immediately condemn GONG TAU - Black Magic as Bull-Shit. Always keep a Taoist Talisman close to You or get a Thai Buddhist Amulet ( also call as Takrut / Tangkar) whenever You are going to any Countries of South East Asia.
By condemning Black Magic as Fake just because it hasn't happen on You yet means You are self-proclaiming that You are a I-Know-Everything-In-This-World Idiot. When Gong Tau strikes onto You, no masters may want to help You and because of Your personal pride , You know You need help but no way will You want to approach a Taoist Master or Bomoh to get rid of the Black Magic. It will be too late. So... always be prepared and take precaution.
Eyes that are able to see Ghosts are known by the Chinese as "Yin Yang Eyes" (阴阳眼）. In the West, they often call it the Clairvoyant Eyes , Spiritual Eyes or "Third Eye".
Many people , even the Chinese, think Clairvoyant Eyes are either You born with it or You born without. The truth is, there are Taoist Talismans to activate the Spiritual Eyes to Ghosts.
Different Taoist Sorcery Lineages (Sects) , which involve with dealing with and keeping ghosts, have different sets of Talismans to see and communicate with Ghosts.
Below shows the "Yin-Yang Eyes Opening" Talismans of Mao-Shan Lineage (茅山派).
Notice that on the Talisman, there are 5 "鬼" ( Gui ) Characters , meaning invoking the power of "5 Ghosts" to give You the spiritual power to see ghosts.
One tip for You: Whenever a talisman is to deal with ghosts or make use of ghosts or to catch ghosts, tame ghosts or ghost keeping or anything to do with ghosts, "5 Ghosts" will be seen on the Talismans that are used in Taoist Sorcery Rituals.
"Yin-Yang Eyes Opening" Talismans
Very few people are born with "Yin Yang" Eyes (阴阳眼).
Taoist Masters, who are not born with "Yin Yang" Eyes, but have to deal with ghosts and spirits will need to activate their 3rd Eyes to see Ghosts by using the "Yin Yang Eyes Opening" Talisman.
Some folks who are born with Clairvoyant Eyes ( Spiritual Eyes) , actually wish to have their Yin-Yang Eyes closed. To You is a heavenly gift, for them it is a curse for life. The reason was during their younger days, they often told their parents and family members about what they saw ( about the ghostly encounters) but none of them believe in him / her and even their friends thought he /she was weird and crazy when he /she was talking to himself /herself or playing with himself/herself, but the fact was that the kid with clairvoyant eyes was talking with his /her ghost friend or passerby ghost-beings. Many of these kids grow up keeping the truth of what they still get to see everyday, at the same time trying hard to behave normal.
Some stubborn Kids and Young Adults, who think they are very brave and want to see ghostly beings will persistently request for "Yin Yang Eyes Opening" Talisman to activate their Eyes into Yin-Yang Eyes. Some folks regretted later when they got freak out after seeing these spirit friends for the very 1st time. It takes awhile to get use to the newly found "Power".
When You start to able to see Ghostly Beings, they will notice that You can see them and they might come to You to seek help ... to help them settle their issues ( want to be reborn, want to see revenge, want to look for family members) or simply to DISTURB YOU ( Which is why folks request for "Yin Yang Eyes Opening" Talisman are told to keep a Protection Talisman if they are not trained in any spiritual self-protection).
The "Yin Yang Eyes" Mantra ( In Chinese) : 拜请坛下五鬼来扶身，桃叶桃枝化阴阳，清水法水开发界，看透阴阳皆现形，火急神兵急急如律令。
Translation of the "Ying Yang Eyes" Mantra: Seeking the power of 5 ghosts below the altar, leaves and twigs of peach tree transform into yin and yang energy, clean and holy water open the world, see through yin and yang form of true features, fire up the spiritual soldiers and execute the order immediately".
Procedure:The "Yin Yang Eyes Opening" Talisman will be burnt and put the ash into a bowl of water, while at the same time the "Yin Yang Eyes" Mantra will be chant. The water will then be drunk and small amount of it will be rubbed on the eyes. After the ritual is completed, anytime soon or very soon the vision of the spiritual realm will be clear. You will get to see all kind of spirits , right in front of You.
Many people ,especially the teenagers, like to organize ghost hunting trip or create "paranormal investigating" groups to check ghosts out. However, very few people ever get to see the real ghosts.
Their way of knowing the presence of ghosts depend solely on the electronic detectors
Young Folks who are excited about ( or interested in ) ghosts hunting shall activate their eyes into "Yin Yang" Eyes and they will surely get to see ghosts right in front of their own home , without having to go haunted places.
Folks who request to activate Yin-Yang Eyes are encourage to keep a Protection Talisman because once You get to see the Ghosts, they will know You can see them. When they know You can see them , they will begin to have interest in You for whatever reason.
Related Talismans:“Connect & Communicate With Ghosts” Talismans
If You already can see ghosts right in front of You but still can't communicate with them and unable to use Your mind power to send and receive thoughts from them, then You will also need “Connect & Communicate With Ghosts” Talismans.
These 3 type of Taoist Talismans are used by Mao Shan Sect (茅山派） during their Ghost Catching Expedition and Ghost Taming Rituals.
Information will be received about the buried location of an unmarried virgin male / female that passed away over 1 year. The soul retrieving of the dead must be done before 5am.
Dig up the grave or burial ground and search for the skull of the corpse, or just collect a finger bone ( good for keeping the ghost inside a miniature coffin) .
Put the Finger Bone inside the Miniature Coffin and then ....
7 "Capturing the Soul" Talismans will be burnt at the same time, a special spell will be recited. After reciting the spell , 7 more "Capturing the Soul" Talismans will be burnt again.
After finish reciting the spell , close up the Coffin Top and tie a red thread 7 times around the Coffin and seal it up with "Seal Coffin" Talisman to prevent the Soul from escaping. Bring back the Coffin with the Soul captured inside.
Further rituals will be continued to train and tame the Spirit with "Training and Taming the Spirit" Talismans for 49 days.
After 49days, the Ghost is now Your servant. You can get him/her to do anything You like.

MORE: There are souls that just passed away from Accident or died from Committed Suicide and also murder cases etc. Taoist Masters may appear very soon when upon hearing the information from close contacts or news about the location of the unnatural death , so as to collect the spirits for several reasons..
Pigsy Talismans are considered "Yin" Talismans , meaning Talismans that call upon the power from the negative side/ underworld / hell.
In Taoist Sorcery/ Black Magic， PIGSY (Zhu BaJie，猪八戒） is revered as Zhu-Ge-Shen(猪哥神), meaning "Pig Brother God". The unenlightened version of Pigsy God is always invited(or summon?) during Taoist Black Magic Rituals so that magic can be proceed, regardless of whether it is white or black.
Taoist Talismans that call upon the power of Pigsy God (猪八戒,Zhu Bajie) will be seen written "猪哥神"(Zhu-Ge-Shen) on them.
Zhu-Ge-Shen(猪哥神) is very often invoked for the task to make a guy lust over a girl. Girls and Women are the ones who seek the help of Black Magic Taoist Master to use Zhu-Ge-Shen(猪哥神) to make a guy or guys to lust over them for whatever reason or purpose.
In the olden days, Owners of and prostitutes from brothels in China sought help from Taoist Black Magic Masters to get hold of Pigsy Talismans to lure guys into brothels and also girls,who kept the Pigsy Talismans, increase their attraction towards the guys tremendously.
Pigsy Magic Spells are considered "White Magic" if it is done to keep married couples intimate and husband who strayed to come back to wife.
Pigsy Magic Spells are "Black Magic" if it is seduce a married man, which will in turn destroy the attraction between husband and wife.
Once again, Taoist Black Magic has the power to do good or evil. Whether Black or White, the doers of the Magic will need to face the retribution / karma in future.
EXAMPLES OF PIGSY TALISMANS for SEX, Love and Lust (猪哥神迷魂符）
Many Western Folks and most of all the Chinese all over the world would have watch the movie, series or read the Book " JOURNEY TO THE WEST".
He was the Pig Demon whom, together with Monkey(Sun WuKong) and Sandy, accompanied Tripitaka (玄奘,Xuanzang) to India to collect Buddhist Texts , fighting demons along the way.
The Pig Demon in the story(JOURNEY TO THE WEST), is known as Zhu Bajie(猪八戒). He is also named: Zhu Wuneng (猪悟能). His Buddhist name "Zhu Wuneng"(猪悟能), was given by Bodhisattva Guanyin, which means "pig (reincarnated) who is aware of ability," or "pig who rises to power", a reference to the fact that he values himself so much as to forget his own grisly appearance.
Xuanzang((玄奘) gave him the nickname Ba Jie((八戒) which means "eight restraints, or eight commandments"(八戒) to remind him of his Buddhist diet.
Zhu Bajie(猪八戒) originally held the title of Tiānpéng Yuánshuài (天蓬元帅; lit. "Marshal Canopy"), commander-in-chief of 80,000 Heavenly Navy Soldiers. He was later banished, however, for misbehaviour.
At a party organized for all the significant figures in Heaven, Bajie saw the Goddess of the Moon for the first time and was captivated by her beauty. Following a drunken attempt to sexually harass her, she reported this to the Jade Emperor and thus he was banished to Earth to be reborn as Human. By accident, he fell into a pig pen and was reborn as a man-eating pig-monster known as Zhū Gāngliè (the "strong-maned pig").
Fast Forward... Finally their quest to reach India to collect Buddhist Texts was fulfilled and PIGSY achieved enlightenment. Arriving at Buddhist Heaven, he was rewarded with the title: Cleaner of the Holy Altar. That sounds like a very menial job for an ex-Marshall of the Heavenly Hosts, but as BUDDHA explained, thousands of worshippers send offerings to that altar every day.
So now PIGSY gets all the best pickings — and even his enormous appetite is satisfied.
Brother Pigsy (猪歌神） In Taoist Sorcery/ Black Magic:
PIGSY is revered as Zhu-Ge-Shen(猪哥神), meaning "Pig Brother God". The
unenlightened version of Pigsy God is always invited during Taoist Black

crazily over You, or a better term - SEXUAL PASSIONATE LOVE.
Taoist Talismans that call upon the power of Pigsy God (猪八戒,Zhu Bajie) will be seen written "猪哥神"(Zhu-Ge-Shen) on the talismans.

Many Western Folks who studied Feng Shui or read up Feng Shui Materials would have come across "Five Ghosts". Many Chinese Folks may have heard about Five Ghosts but don't know who they are and what they are used for.
The "Five Ghosts" found in Feng Shui Studies are totally different from the "Five Ghosts" used in Taoist Sorcery.
Let's get started to go into details of Five Ghosts in Taoist Magic / Sorcery ...
Mao Shan sect's Five Ghosts (茅山五鬼术): In the old records, Mao Shan Five Ghosts (also known as Five Spirits or Five Ghostly Generals) is known to have 2 groups of 五鬼.
The 1st group of 五鬼 (primordial group) is recorded to consist of these 5 spirits:
Dou Ren (窦仁)
Li Kai (李凯)
Zhang Wu (张五)
Shi Tai (十泰)
Chu Mian (褚免)
Under the 茅山鳳陽派 (Feng Yang Sect), the concept of the Five Spirits are that they are spirit guardians governing the 5 cardinal directions and as named as:
Central: Yao Bi Song (中央姚碧松)
North: Lin Jing Zhong (北方林敬忠)
West: Cai Zi Liang (西方蔡子良)
South: Zhang Zi Gui (南方张子贵)
East: Chen Gui Xian (東方陈贵先)
Many of the Taoist Black Magic to hex/ disturb/destroy the enemies will summon these 5 ghosts [Yao Bi Song (中央姚碧松),Lin Jing Zhong (北方林敬忠), Cai Zi Liang (西方蔡子良), Zhang Zi Gui (南方张子贵), Chen Gui Xian(東方陈贵先)]. Very often these names will be found written on Black Magic Talismans.
In the folklore (民俗学)， the Five Spirits are another group consisting of the 5 colors corresponding to the Five Colors Charm (五色符):
Black Ghost Xiao Zan (黑面獠牙鬼萧贊)
White Ghost Guan Qian (玉/花面獠牙鬼管钱)
Yellow Ghost Chang Yong (黄面獠牙鬼常拥)
Red Ghost Jin Cai (紅面獠牙鬼晋財)
Green Ghost Wei De (青面獠牙鬼魏得)
Although termed similarly as the Five Spirits, these 2 groups are essentially different in purpose. The 1st group mentioned (primordial group/five cardinal directions) is summoned to perform information seeking/checking and doing tasks without seeking "official permission" from the deities of the 3 realms and the Mao Shan practitioner's 祖师爷。 This is one of the Closed Door Magic Skills (内门术) that is closely guarded and strongly advised not to practise/use. As it is a Closed Door Secret Art (内门术), only disciples who has been inducted into the lineage officially (公入法门) can chant the incantations and invoke the Five Spirits.
For the second group of Five Ghosts, they are summoned most frequently by spiritual mediums to assist devotees (民间通灵术) to gain wealth and fulfill requests.
As these group of Five Ghosts are not enlightened beings, once a request is being fulfilled, the person who made the request will need to repay back at a certain "price" that usually he/she won't know till "the day is due".
Till today, a lot of the unorthodox sects (even those who claimed that they are orthodox) still summon the 2 groups of Five Spirits to assist the devotees in their requests and to make things work in order to gain the trust of the devotees or followers.
In Mao Shan Magic Skills (茅山术), there are a few sets of Secret Rituals(法门) to send off or disperse these 2 groups of Five Ghosts away. But once these Secret Rituals(法门) are invoked, the owner of the Five Spirits will receive repercussions in a way that he/she cannot withstand.
MORE GROUPS OF FIVE GHOSTS IN TAOISM:
Five Ghosts used in "FIVE GHOSTS TRANSFER WEALTH" MAGIC(五鬼运财法):
They are wondering ghosts summoned from 5 directions. They are called:
Many Western Folks who are interested in Taoism or keen to practice Taoism only know about the philosophical side of Taoism.
Most Taoist Books and Information are often written in Chinese. The educated and knowledgeable Taoist Masters/Sorcerers/Magicians, who willingly share their knowledge to the public , are also broadcast in Mandarin/Cantonese/Hokkien but not much of these texts/books are translated into English.
The Taoist Masters of the Overseas Chinese in Malaysia, Indonesia are also only good in Chinese Language and not English.
The greatest collections of Taoist Magic Books are kept in Taiwan and Hong Kong and yet again, the Taoist Masters of these 2 countries are not well versed in English.
In Singapore, it is a sad fact that the bilingual( English and Chinese) Singapore Youngsters have no interest in Taoism and Taoist Sorcery/Magic, therefore ,yet again, not much translation work is done on Taoist Books of Magic. The left over Taoist Masters in Singapore are Chinese Educated.
This article will reveal to the Western Folks and English Educated Singaporeans and other Oversea Chinese who only read English... on the Taoist Sects that focus on Talisman Magic..
Folks on the Street may only heard of Mao Shan Pai (茅山派). Anytime when they hear about Taoist Sorcery , Ghost Catching, Black Magic etc , they can only think of Mao Shan Pai (茅山派). The truth is there are few Taoist Sects that are more deadly than Mao Shan Pai (茅山派). Due to the Hong Kong Movies of the 80s, they only mention Mao Shan Pai (茅山派),which make Mao Shan notorious for their Magical Skill.
Below are the 11 Popular Talismanic Sects Of Taoism (道教符咒门派）. Take note there are many more Taoist Talismanic Sects (Taoist Groups that rely on talismans), which are not listed here.
1) MaoShan Sect(茅山派) 2) Lǘ Shān Sect(闾山派) 3) Lǚ Shān Sect(吕山派) 4） Feng Yang Sect(凤阳派) 5） Tian Shi Sect(天师派) 6) Yin Shan Sect(阴山派) 7) Wu Shan Sect(巫山派) 8) Bai Lian Sect(白莲派) 9) Wu Lei Sect(五雷派) 10) Tie Gong Sect(铁公派) 11) San Mao Sect(散毛派)
Within these several Talismanic Sects of Taoism, they can be categorized into two groups: Either the Gods they invoked are mostly from Heaven ( Yang Gods) or Gods mostly from Hells (Yin Gods) and also summoning Ghosts to work for them.
Taoist Sects that only call upon the power from Heavenly Gods are always White Magic.
Taoist Sects that may call upon the power from Hell Gods/Ghosts/Demons/Animal Spirits/Insects Spirits can be Black or White Magic, depend on how it is applied.
The TAOIST BLACK MAGICIANS are always from these Yin ( Negative) Side of Taoist Sects. These Taoist Sects that worship Hell Gods are considered the most insidious and their magic cast upon always bring fast results. The 3 well known Taoist Sects of Hell are Feng Yang Sect(凤阳派), San Mao Sect(散毛派) and Yin Shan Sect(阴山派).
To the folks in Western Countries, not many believe in Ghosts. Many Christians will force themselves not to believe.
Within the Chinese Communities, there are folks who have been praying to Taoist Gods and believe in Ghosts and Black Magic and heard about Taoist Masters keeping ghosts but these believers have not yet seen the Real Talismans use to keep / feed and control Ghosts.
This will be an eye-opener for the Western Folks and also the Chinese.
Shown below are the Ghost Keeping Talismans of Yin Shan Sect(阴山派).
Ghost Keeping Talismans 1 to 7 are to be burnt each on their respective days.
Talismans for feeding Male Ghosts and Talismans for feeding Female Ghosts have their own sets. These Male and Female Talismans are to be burnt during feeding rituals.
Chop-Sticks are to be stuck on the bowls of Cooked rice. Chanting of Ghost Feeding Verses and Talismans will be burnt together with Taoist Paper Money.
The North & North-Eastern Chinese Folks have been praying to Fox Spirits since ancient time. Almost every Villages of North-Eastern China has a Fox Spirit Shrine to worship the Fox Spirits.
There are also Folks (usually the ladies) from Taiwan and Hong-Kong praying to the Chinese Version Of Fox Fairies (Immortal)s' Altars and keeping Chinese Talismans Of Fox Fairies (Immortals).
Lately, Chinese Folks from Singapore & Malaysia, even the Chinese from China, are crazy over new creation Thai Version Of Nine-Tails Fox Spirit Spiritual Items ( Amulets / Statues).
The problem is many people are only interested to pray to anything without understanding the truth, the history and what is going on what they are praying.
Taoist Sorcerers have their own secret talismans to invoke Fox Spirits / Fairies (Immortals) for Love / Lust / Sex Magics.
Now, the question is Do Fox Spirits / Fairies (Immortals) Exist?
The information here is to share with You, who are seeking the truth about Fox Spirits / Fairies (Immortals) (狐妖 / 狐仙), before worshipping them and keeping any Fox Spirits spiritual items (Amulets / Talismans / Statues).

The Nine-Tailed Fox is a Cultural Motif, originated in ancient China, which then introduced to Japan and Korea. Due to watching and reading too much of Naruto (Japanese Manga series), many Western Kids and Oversea Chinese Kids, thought that the "Nine Tailed Fox" Legend originated in Japan. When these western kids & oversea Chinese kids ask around for more information of the origin, folks either don't know the truth, or deliberately lie to them that the legend of the magical beast, originated in Japan, Korea or India, and never mentioned China, or said China had copied them.
Why credits were not given to China, the original culture of worshiping Nine-Tailed Fox, is because there might be people, even oversea Chinese, who has prejudice against China and Chinese Culture, therefore, truth need to be twisted and link the stories outside China and without mentioning China.
Not much Ancient Chinese Classics / Novels / Texts were translated into English, because the Chinese has no interest to do so, and the Western Folks have no interest to read them either, therefore some people who are searching for the truth about Nine Tailed Fox (九尾狐) , have very limited information and end up thinking that there is not much write up about Nine Tailed Fox (九尾狐) coming from ancient China.
Historical Records Of Nine Tailed Fox (九尾狐) From China

Finally, King Wen of Zhou, one of the vassals of Shang, founded a new dynasty named after his country. The fox spirit in Daji's body was later driven out by Jiang Ziya (姜子牙), the first Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty and her spirit condemned by Nüwa herself due to the fox's cruelty and disobeying its original order of bewitch King Zhou but do not harm others towards the end of Feng Shen Bang.

Why is the emphasis laid upon at the tail? It is to indicate that his prosperity shall be numerous.

Nine Tailed Fox In Japan and Korea
The motif of nine-tailed foxes from Chinese culture were eventually transmitted and introduced to Korean and Japanese culture.
A nine-tailed Fox spirit in Japanese is known as kyūbi no kitsune (九尾の狐). Inari Ōkami (稲荷大神, also Oinari) is the Japanese kami of foxes, of fertility, rice, tea and Sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal kami of Shinto.
A nine-tailed Fox spirit in korea is kown as kumiho (구미호).
Nine Tailed Fox appeared in Thailand
The Nine-Tailed Fox is a Cultural Motif, originated in ancient China, which then introduced to Japan and Korea. Thailand has no culture in worshiping the Fox -Spirits but lately, there are Thai Amulets with the images of Nine-Tailed Fox.
There might be Thai Monks, or Thai Masters (Ajhans) and many Thai Amulets Sellers, either know the truth but deliberately lie to You. Or, truly has no historical knowledge,and they tell You that the worshiping of "Nine Tailed Fox" is originated in South-East Asia, or India.
Why "Nine Tailed Fox" only appeared in Thai Amulets & Statues recently, might due to money making opportunity. Because, Hongkongers and Taiwan folks are already praying to Chinese Version of Fox Immortal - Hu Xian (狐仙)， the Thai Masters can also can make money from these Chinese worshipers by creating Thai Version Spiritual Items of Nine Tailed Fox and sell to them.
Why credits were not given to China, the original culture of worshiping Nine-Tailed Fox, is because there might be people, even oversea Chinese, who has prejudice against China and Chinese Culture, therefore, truth need to be twisted and link the stories as close to the heart of the buyers (Oversea Chinese) as possible (and link it to Thai Culture / Thai "Buddhist" Culture), in order to make as much money out of the Oversea Chinese.
The Fox Spirit Amulets are done mainly for the Oversea Chinese Market like China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and etc.
One of the 1st Creator of Nine Tailed Fox's Images of Thai Amulets, Ajhan Meng, said during his daily mediation, a female fox immortal appeared in front of him, and also during sleep, he dreamed of the fox immortal asking him since he had learned the magical skill of invoking her (Fox Immortal) and why didn't he create amulets and fox statues to be worshiped by the public, so she can bless the believers. That's the reason why Ar-Jhan Meng had started making & consecrate Nine Tailed Fox Amulets & Statues.
Soon more and more other Thai Masters began to create and bless their own Nine Tailed Foxes Spiritual Items, to sell to the Oversea Chinese, and even to the China Chinese. The reason why China Chinese buy Thai Version of Nine Tailed Fox, instead of praying to their own Chinese / Taoist Version of Nine Tailed Fox, is because "The grass is greener on the other side".
There is nothing wrong to own Thai Version Amulet / Statue of Nine Tailed Fox, but folks should be informed and be educated on the truth of the origin of what they are keeping or doing.
Magic Sorcery is universal. Thai Magic can be used to invoke Chinese Deities and like wise, Chinese / Taoist Sorcery can use to consecrate and re-empower Thai Amulets / Statues.
When Thai Magic combines with Taoist Sorcery, it is known as Siam-Mao Sect Magic (暹茅派）.
In order to create and activate the Thai Amulets / Statues Of Nine Tailed Fox , the Thai Spiritual Master may chant Loving Kindess Metta and Maha Saneh Metta (Charming abilities) and uses Metta and Senah Ingredients in the Amulets. Ingredients like Graveyard Soils, and Nam Man Prai (Female Corpse Oil) are known to have added to the Nine Tailed Fox Amulets to improve its' efficacy.
Conclusion:
Folks, even Oversea Chinese, who are prejudiced against China and Chinese Culture, but are also fans of "Nine Tailed Fox" and amulets and statues of it, might suddenly lose interest in it, after realizing that the origin of history and legend is from China. These folks don't want to own anything related to China, which will make them look low-class and Ching-Chong.
However, those western folks and the Chinese, who are die-hard Pro-Chinese-Culture and Pro-Taoist-Magic will be even more keen to seek out Original Fox Spirit Talismans base on Taoist Sorcery Magic.
Many Chinese Folks, especially the ladies, from China, Taiwan, Hongkong, Malaysia and Singapore are only interested to buy and pray to the spiritual items of Fox Fairies (狐仙 - Hu Xian) but have no interest to find out the origin of worshipping the Fox Fairies.
There are even Thai Arjhans who create Thai Version of Fox Fairies Amulets & Statues but have no knowledge of the origin of worshipping Fox Fairies, and they claimed that the legend of Fox Fairies originated in India and South East Asia, or Japan and Korea, but never mention , or purposely not wanting to relate the culture to China.
There are articles already written in Chinese Language (from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia) about the legend of Fox Fairies , but none is written in English. Even the bilingual Singapore sellers of Fox Fairies Spiritual Items, have no interest to educate themselves and the public , therefore they never spend the time to do research and do write up, neither in Chinese nor English.
The Hall of Fox Fairies (狐仙堂) of Tian Shi Fu in Long Hu Shan (龙虎山天师府) is claimed to be the Main Altar Of All Altars Of Fox Fairies throughout the world.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Nobody knows whether the legend about the Fox Fairies of Tian Shi Fu in Long Hu Shan (龙虎山天师府) is a recent made-up one and the Altar is a newly set-up one (with the support of the 'Taoist Masters' in Taiwan & Hong Kong), just for the sake of of attracting tourists to the temple, in order to collect "Incense Money" (香油钱) ... But then... Chinese Folks (particularly the North & North-Eastern Chinese) have
been praying to Fox Spirits since ancient time. Even Taoist Sorcerers
have their own secret talismans of invoking Fox Spirits to work on Love
/ Lust / Sex Magic.
Over here is the only 1 article written in English, on the exact story
being told about the legend of the 2 Fox Fairies (狐仙) - Yellow Fox Fairy
(黄狐仙) & White Fox Fairy （白狐仙）of Tian Shi Fu in Long Hu Shan
(龙虎山天师府).
Here goes the story...
On a 3rd month in one of the year of 'Song Ning' Period (崇宁 - 1102 - 1106), the Zhen Yi Sect ( 正一派) 30th Generation Lineage Leader, Grand Master Xu Jing (虚靖) was having his usual routine of Qigong practice in the Hall Of 3 Ministries (三省堂). Suddenly, he heard thunder roared in the sky, followed by lightnings. Immediately, the sky was filled with dark clouds. He stepped out of the Hall and look up to the sky, noticing there was something unusual that day. Using his fingers to calculate and able to foretell a demon will appeared in no time.
While still pondering of the imminent event,there came a beautiful young lady in yellow gown, wheezing and panting breathlessly, knelt down before Master Xu Jing, crying and begging him for his help. She said she was a Fox Demon who had been cultivating (Magical Power) for 2000 years and almost reaching fruition, therefore will go through a serious disaster. Heaven had ordered Thunder God & Thunder Goddess to strike her to death. She begged Master Xu Jing to save her life.
Master Xu Jing replied to her sternly that all demons had to be destroyed. If he saved her life that will be like neglecting a carbuncle which would cause future troubles. Fox Demon said she was not afraid of death but she was pregnant and could giving birth anytime and the baby inside was innocent.
After hearing that, Master Xu Jing felt though Fox Demons were disgusting creatures, but the baby fox inside the womb was not a criminal. If fox demon could turn bad to good by doing good deeds, that would be a righteous act.
Master Xu Jing told her he would rescue her if she promised 3 conditions:
1) Do not injure and kill other animals
2) Have to pick a place and live in seclusion and do not harass people.
3) Be initiated into Human Path, recite scriptures in the morning and evening, abandon evil and do good, help the human folks
Fox Demon agreed and if she ever violated the rules, she was willing to be put to death. Master Xu Jing gathered a group of Taoist Priests to the Temple Hall to do a ritual ceremony to report to the heaven about the issue and need not chase after the Fox Demon anymore. Thunder God & Goddess withdrew the celestial soldiers immediately and the sky turned bright and clear.
Fox Demon bid farewell to Master Xu Jing, and from then on lived in seclusion in Yun Tai Mountain, feeding on fruits in the mountain, and concentrated herself on cultivating The Tao. Not long later, she gave birth to a Baby Fox, called "Little White Fairy" (小白仙).

Returning Kindness 1 - Gathering The 'Diao Lan' Herbs To Stop Epidemic
100 years had passed.The memories of Master Xu Jing rescued the Fox Demon had faded away. During the 'Shao Ding' Years ( 绍定 - 1228 - 1233） of Southern Song Dynasty, Jiangxi Province was flooding, followed by epidemic. Folks from An Qi County (资溪)、Li Chuan County (黎川)、An Ren County (安仁) - now is known as Yu Jiang County (余江) were dying from epidemic. People gathered at Tian Xi Temple to seek help from Master Zhang (35th Generation Lineage Leader) - Zhang Ke Da (张可大), to destroy the evil force. Master Ke Da gathered a few Taoist Masters to do a check on the surroundings and found there was no evil doers but caused by natural causes. It the problem was not rectified immediately, the problem will spread further and more people will die.
Master Ke Da was an expert in Herbs and knew that the plant - Diao Lan (吊兰) -（Chlorophytum comosum（Thunb.）Baker.）, was able to cure the sickness of the folks suffering from the epidemic. However, the plants of Diao Lan (吊兰 were only found in the cave of the mountain cliffs. It was difficult to climb to gather the plants. Even if dispatched a big numbers of people to do the job of collecting the plants back, the amounts of plants collected each day wouldn't be enough to stop the epidemic. Master Ke Da was at his end wits.
On the next day, while the folks were busy collecting the plants, a large pack of Foxes leaped quickly towards and brought before Master Ke Da with a mouth full of Diao Lan Plants. Within short period of time, there were able to collect many big bags of Diao Lan Plants.
At 1st, people thought were the magical power of Master Zhang Ke Da, but Master was feeling puzzled as well. After thinking through for awhile, he realized his ancestors had ever told him the 30th Master - Xu Jing had ever rescued a Fox Demon, and must be the work of the Divine Fox to repay her gratitude. Master Ke Da sent people immediately to brew the herbs and sent to the patients. Sure enough, the medicine took effect and the patients were cured. After that, the village folks praised Master Ke Da for his superb medical knowledge.
Actually, not many people knew about support from the Divine Fox Spirit, but only Master Ke Da and few other Taoist Masters knew about the truth. It was said that Master Ke Da had tracked the Yun Tai Mountain by himself to search for Divine Fox Spirit to express his appreciation but nobody knew whether he was able to find the Divine Fox.
Returning Kindness 2 - Bringing Rain To Stop Drought
40 years gone by, the dynasty had changed. Kublai Khan of Yuan Dynasty, unified China. One year, there was a drought in North China. Many folks were dying from the drought. Even the queen and princes became sick of the summer heat. The officials explained that must be the work of the evil spirits causing troubles, need to invite Master Zhang to eliminate the evils. 36th Lineage Leader - Zhang Zong Yan (张宗演) received the degree and hurried toward the Palace Hall. Even though the heat was unbearable, after checking out the surroundings, he couldn't feel the presence of any evil forces. Grand Master Zong Yan couldn't proceed with the ritual ceremony to catch the evil spirits , yet also cannot disobey the king. He was worried with a frown, shaking with fear.
In the wee hours in the post-house and the night sky was lighted with stars and cloudless, Grand Master Zong Yan couldn't fall sleep. He went to the garden to contemplate the issue and not long after, came a middle age woman with a sweet young lady, both greeted Grand Master Zong Yan politely.
Middle age woman said to Grand Master Zong Yan, the cause of the drought was not the doing of any evil spirits. She said while Wen Tian Xiang (文天祥) were retreating his army to the sea side, he had prayed to the Northern Sea Dragon King. Kubrai Khan had killed Weng Tian Xiang, causing North Sea Dragon King to be furious, which caused the drought. She told Grand Master Zong Yan to report the matter to Palace to offer sacrifice to Wen Tian Xiang to get rid of his resentment. She and her daughter would enter the Eastern Sea instead to implore Eastern Dragon King to bring rain, a way to return her kindness.
Only this time, did Grand Master Zong Yan realised they were the 2 divine foxes, waving his hands towards the direction which they were rushing off.
While Madam Fox and her Little Fox entered the Eastern Sea to seek help from Eastern Dragon King to deliver water, Eastern Dragon King said they were busy building the Palace and had no time for such issue and should seek help from Southern Dragon King. While reaching Southern Dragon King, that area was not under his jurisdiction, therefore cannot sent water down and should seek Eastern Dragon King instead. 2 foxes returned back to Eastern Sea again and explained to Eastern Dragon King that the ordinary folks should not suffer the same punishment just because Kublai Khan had killed the loyal, righteous man - Wen Tian Xiang. Eastern Dragon King was awaken, whereupon he gave command to bring rain immediately.
As a result of the ability to bring rain to stop the drought, during the 100 years of Yuan Dynasty, Grand Masters of Tian Shi Mansion were highly praised and respected. The 2nd son of Grand Master Zhang Zong Yan, who was the 38th Lineage Leader - Master Zhang Yu Cai (张与材), was conferred the title "The Hierarch Of Zheng Yi Lineage (正一教主)", in charge of the talisman registers of the 3 mountains - Mao Shan Mountain (茅山)、Ge Zhao Mountain (阁皂山)、Long Hu Mountain (龙虎山).
Due to the sincere invitation of Grand Master Zhong Yan, Madam Fox and little fox had often been attending Tian Shi Mansion as guests, therefore his daughter's room - Xiu Hua Lou (绣花楼) was offered to Madam and Little Fox to occupy. From then on until now, there was "Hu Xian Lou" (狐仙楼) - The Floor Of 2 Divine Foxes.
Returning Kindness 3 - Exterminating The Rat Demons
When Zhu Yuan Zhang (朱元璋) ascended the throne as the founder and first emperor of the Ming dynasty of China, he had high regards on the Grand Masters Of Tian Shi Mansion. He poured in a lot of money for construction to expand the Tian Shi Mansion.
During Hong Wu Period, the West Lake in Hang Zhou was constantly reported that demons were creating havoc. People were too afraid to take a stroll in the scenic park and had to close down. Zhu Yuan Zhang immediately ordered 43rd Grand Lineage Leader - Yu Chu (张宇初) to rush down to Han Zhou to eliminate the public threat.
While reaching West Lake, Grand Master Zhang Yu Chu discussed the matter with the followers. They decided to observe the surrounding and then plan for a solution. On the 2nd Day, they spotted there were ripples on the surface of the water, spotted rat demons were the trouble makers.
Grand Master Zhang Yu Chu brought to mind that Foxes were rats' most unbeatable rival. An invocation ritual was held immediately to call upon the 2 Divine Fox Fairies to hurry down to West Lake to catch the Rat Demons. The Rat Demons was caught finally.
After that incidence, the visitors of West Lake said they and their descendants would forever remember the heroic act of Grand Master Zhang.
The story continues...
After returning back to Tian Shi Mansion in Long Hu Mountain, Grand Master Zhang Yu Chu went to thank Divine Yellow Fox & Divine White Fox for their help and at the same time to exchange Taoist Magical Skills.
Since the Divine Foxes had been practicing Taoist Magical Skills for very long time, Master Zhang Yu Chu had benefited a lot from the skills taught by the Divine Foxes.
Zhu Yuan Zhang assigned Grand Master Zhang Yu Chu to compile Tao Zhang (道藏). During those days, pathways were inconvenient for the collection of Taoist Scruiptures. The 2 Divine Foxes had travelled throughout the famous temples of the whole country to assist the collection of the lost ancient scriptures.
Grand Master Zhang Yu Chu aware that for the past few hundred years, the 2 Divine Foxes of Yun Tai Mountain had doing a lot of good deeds and their cultivation had reached fruition and they should be worshipped.
Praying To The Altar Of Divine Fox Fairies In Tian Shi Mansion in Long Hu Mountain (龙虎山天师府) Since Ming Dynasty
The 44th Lineage Leader - Zhang Yu Qing (张宇清) obeyed the order. The Western Hall of Tian Shi Mansion was set up to hold the statues of the 2 Divine Foxes to be worshipped.
That is the legend of The Hall of Fox Fairies (狐仙堂) of Tian Shi Mansion in Long Hu Mountain (龙虎山天师府), which still exist until this day.
The Hall of Fox Fairies (狐仙堂) of Tian Shi Mansion in Long Hu Mountain (龙虎山天师府) is claimed the Main Altar Of All Altars Of Fox Fairies throughout the world.
The Original Incantation To Call Upon The Arrival Of Madam Yellow Fox Fairy From Tian Shi Mansion (天师府黄狐仙子临真咒)
There are several reasons on why ghosts busting are needed.
Not all Human Beings die naturally, such as old age and sickness. Some people die in accidents or committed suicide.
Human Beings that die in unnatural death will turn into ghosts and linger at the same location / premises where they died. Their souls are not allowed to enter the gate of hell as the actual date of death is not yet reach.
Souls died of unnatural death, such as committed suicide by hanging and self-drowning need to find human replacement, in order to be reborn.
In the West( Caucasians/Whites/ Farangs/ Ang Mo), who are mostly Christians, Free Thinkers etc will not know / understand or believe in ghosts.
Singaporeans will often hear/watch the news about same accidents/ same type of suicides occur at the same spots of the previous cases.
Once, the location which unnatural death has occurred and no Spiritual Salvation/ Cleansing(超度） is done, same type of deaths will appear again and again at the same spot because the ghosts of the previous death need to lure and influence the mind of the human folks with low energy/luck /moody and die like them, so that the previous ghost can move on for rebirth.
TALISMAN TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM GHOSTS / BLACK MAGIC >>TALISMAN 4 U
In Western World, there is no such thing as "Spiritual Cleansing" of the haunted location.
It is also the same sad fact that in Singapore, the government do not order the "Spiritual Cleansing" of the location, where unnatural deaths had occurred. ( Anyway, it is considered good for Black Magic Practitioners to carry out their ritual to destroy/kill their enemies in Singapore, because in Singapore Law, there is no such thing as 'Someone use Black Magic to harm/kill him/her/me.')
Unless the kind-hearted people or the relatives/children of the dead engage the Spiritual Cleansing and Salvation service for the deceased from the Taoist Masters or Buddhist Monks , the place /location/premises will be haunted.
Taoist Masters or Sorcerers will carry out Ghost Busting either for self-interest or mainly for good cause.
Self-Interest is to catch and control the ghosts and get them to be their servants.
Good Cause is to do a Cleansing Ritual on the haunted place and Salvation Ritual for the ghosts to let them go through rebirth faster or send them to Western Paradise(In Buddhist Context).
Taoist Talismans shown below here belongs to Yin Shan Sect (阴山派). They are used to lure and capture the ghost.
The left talisman is to call upon/lure the ghost to enter the container/bottle by chanting the mantra and then to burn the talisman inside it. The ghost will enter the container/bottle.
The right talisman is to paste over the cover of the container/bottle to prevent the ghost from escaping.
At this point of time, the Taoist Sorcerer/Master can then decide to send the ghosts to a Yin Temple ( Temple of hell gods) and let the hell gods to handle the ghosts or bring the ghost for Spiritual Salvation Ritual, in order to has a faster chance of rebirth or send to 'Western Paradise' to practice Buddhism. The Taoist Master may also control the ghosts to help him do work.
If the Taoist Master decide to keep the Ghosts, there are many more talismans to be used, such as feeding the ghosts. There are also different talismans to control Male Ghosts and Female Ghosts.
