The Mistletoes (gui): The Chinese supernatural spirits




Chinese people always believed to spirits and to supernatural creatures. The Mistletoes are spirits and ghosts of Chinese legends. These characters attack human people taking animal, human or monster’s appearance. If you die violently, you become like these spirits and your curse(malediction) consists to stay eternally at the place where you died.
Sometimes there is a particular link between a mistletoes and the human world, creating a mistletoes-monster. This one isn’t obligatory hostile. They can use different forms (human, animal…) but a mirror always shows his true identity. Moreover they cannot approach an object which received a Buddhist consecration.
If rites for the mistletoes aren’t satisfying where if offerings don’t please, he’ll torture you, creating diseases, desolation and disasters. If a person doesn’t have shade, it surely is one of this spirits.
We advise to people to hang talismans on house’s doors for preventing spirits to disturb the inhabitants, principally family’s members.
Offerings are obligatory for they let you quiet. Indeed, if they want to find the eternal rest and they need nothing, you must prepare food or burn counterfeit money but you must know that Mistletoes don’t like fire and water.
