About Lightning-Struck Wood Origin: We will gradually introduce a series of lightning-struck wood items. Speaking of lightning-struck wood, I've wanted to find this material for a long time. There's a lot available from mainland China, but therein lies the problem – it seems too readily available. The question arises: can there really be this much lightning-struck wood? Genuine lightning-struck wood is best sourced from peach wood (peach wood itself wards off evil, and lightning-struck peach wood is even more potent). Date palm wood is the next best, followed by sandalwood, with others being comparable. As for products from mainland China, their authenticity requires careful consideration. Items are expensive, shipping is costly, and returns are difficult. I've also struggled to find it in Taiwan. Some say obtaining lightning-struck wood isn't difficult, but they don't realize that in Taiwan, forests are protected by the state. Even if you find a lightning-struck tree on the mountain, you cannot simply cut it down, as it's against the law. Furthermore, many claim there's abundant lightning-struck wood. But no, true lightning-struck wood must be from a tree that survived the lightning strike (yes, survived; it cannot be dead. It must still be alive and bearing leaves to be considered genuine lightning-struck wood). Some might suggest it's simple: buy land in a lightning-prone area and plant peach or date palm trees; surely, they'll get struck. As I mentioned earlier, it must be a tree that was struck by lightning and survived. And do you think trees in lightning-prone areas are easily struck? If you were the Thunder God, looking down from tens of thousands of meters, the trees below would appear smaller than ants. The probability is minuscule. You can try buying land and planting trees; if you succeed, call me over to see it (I want to see the raw wood), and I'll buy it from you! In short, I finally found it after considerable effort! I spent a significant amount on shipping to confirm its authenticity before committing to a large-scale import of genuine lightning-struck wood. The lightning-struck wood sold in this store is guaranteed to be authentic. It is imported from abroad (not from mainland China) and is from a jackfruit tree. It was originally used in temples for making altar tables, and the remaining wood was purchased in bulk by my supplier (the photos were taken by the supplier). For individuals sensitive to energy or with spiritual inclinations, the energy of lightning-struck wood is experienced as a comfortable, smooth flow of electricity throughout the body, without any stinging or discomfort. However, entities that are not of a pure nature will not appreciate its energy (the reason is explained below). Introduction to Lightning-Struck Wood: Today, many believe that lightning-struck wood is exclusively used in Taoism due to its prominent use in Taoist practices over the past few centuries. However, this is not the case. Over 2,500 years ago, Buddhist scriptures already referred to lightning-struck wood as a material for crafting Vajra scepters. For example, the second volume of the "Dharani Sutra" discusses the creation of the five-pronged Vajra scepter, stating it can be made from the heartwood of a date palm tree struck by lightning (霹靂棗心). This is acceptable. Furthermore, before crafting the Vajra, the materials must be purified with incantations one hundred and eight times... The "Susiddhi Sutra" describes the making of the Vajra: For Vajra implements, use wood burned by heavenly fire (i.e., lightning). Whether it be from a bitter 楝 tree, white sandalwood, or red sandalwood, carve a three-pronged Vajra from any of these woods. Hold it in your left hand during rituals and recitations; it can accomplish all tasks. ... ... The "Jingyou Liuren Shending Jing" (Volume Two, Chapter Thirty: Interpretation of Style Creation) states: "Xuan Nu said: 'The method of creating the style uses the 'feng zi' as heaven. 'Feng zi' refers to a branch of the maple tree that grows separately, appearing at a distance to be at the same height as the mother tree, but closer inspection reveals a height difference. It also uses the heartwood of the date palm as earth, symbolizing the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Maple is the essence of many trees, and date palm is the envoy of all trees. Among all things, these are the most spiritual.' (Annotation on the 'Law of Thunder God's Punishment' states: 'There are three types of style formations. For wood, the heartwood of a lightning-struck date palm (i.e., a date palm struck by lightning) is considered superior, sandalwood is intermediate, and persimmon wood is inferior. If lightning-struck date palm heartwood is unavailable, an old axle from a cart can be used as a secondary option; select carefully...'" Lightning-struck wood, also known as "evil-warding wood," is a supreme divine wood in Taoist sorcery. The book "Wan Fa Gui Zong" lists it as the primary sacred wood for crafting ritual implements. Thus, both Buddhism and Taoism place great importance on the use of lightning-struck wood, with its heartwood being considered the highest grade. Why is wood struck by lightning so highly valued? It is likely related to deities like the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess who control thunder and lightning. There are expert research articles such as "A Study of the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess," which we will not elaborate on here. The Thunder God is a deity of justice; he does not strike those who do good but rather uses lightning to strike down demons or evil people who violate heavenly laws. This can be found in the "Song History," which mentions the "Law of the Thunder God's Smite." This indicates that the Thunder God strikes with lightning not solely due to physical electrical discharge needs but according to established laws. This principle is widely known, and people often curse wrongdoers by saying, "May heaven strike him with lightning!" In ancient times, people, through their interaction with nature, gradually recognized the powerful energy imbued in lightning-struck wood after it was struck by lightning. This energy can expel evil, punish wrongdoing and reward good, and maximize magical abilities. Therefore, lightning-struck wood has been secretly sought after by practitioners since ancient times to harness its spiritual power and enhance their magical abilities. Wearing it not only protects against the encroachment of evil energies but also brings auspiciousness and good fortune, which is why people have treasured it as a valuable possession since antiquity. I. Identifying Lightning-Struck Wood 1. Visible Charring Marks: Look for signs of lightning strikes. Typically, wood struck by lightning will have broken branches and scorch marks from the impact. 2. Energy Sensing and Detection: All wood struck by lightning possesses lightning energy. After taking the wood, one can use tactile sensation, energy flow perception, or certain abilities to detect the presence of lightning energy. Lightning-struck wood emits energy that can be perceived, often felt as warmth, tingling, or swelling in sensitive parts of the body. 3. Lightning Patterns (Lei Wen) Identification: Wood struck by lightning displays lightning patterns. Identifying these patterns is challenging and usually requires the guidance of an experienced master. It is difficult for ordinary individuals to discern them. The three methods above should be used in conjunction. Relying solely on bodily sensations to determine if wood is lightning-struck is extremely misleading. An individual who has achieved some level of cultivation can emit internal energy into any object, causing it to feel warm, tingly, or swollen. This does not definitively prove it is lightning-struck wood; it could be the result of energy projection or blessings. Therefore, judging lightning-struck wood requires more than just sensation; it must be combined with the methods described above to accurately identify genuine lightning-struck wood. (In Taoism, there are specific considerations for the time, location, materials, and methods used in rituals. Ritual implements, once made, must also be consecrated. The consecration of ritual implements is crucial. After consecration, the implements are accompanied by spiritual guardians and become effective in use. A superior ritual implement grants the wielder the authority to command forever. Ritual implements made from lightning-struck wood can be used to pray for clear skies and rain, govern the three realms, summon spirits, vanquish demons and evil, dispatch talismanic officers, ferry departed souls, send off wandering ghosts, imprint talismanic orders, protect the home and body, treat illnesses, and eliminate pestilence. The efficacy of ritual implements made from lightning-struck wood depends not only on the spiritual power inherent in the implement itself but also on the practitioner's ability. The higher the practitioner's spiritual power, the greater the potency of the ritual implement.) III. Energy of Ritual Implements 1. Blessings from Masters and Triple Gems: The energy of certain ritual implements has been passed down through generations of masters, carrying their blessings. Older implements possess greater energy and are more effective. This requires the practitioner to have properly taken refuge and be aligned with past masters. 2. Attainment through Practice: When a practitioner of esoteric Buddhism diligently uses the ritual implement in accordance with the teachings, through visualization, offerings, and recitation, signs of attainment such as warmth, smoke, blazing light, or luminosity may manifest. 3. Innate Energy of the Wood: Esoteric Buddhist sutras provide detailed explanations from the Buddha regarding the materials and methods for creating ritual implements. Among various types of wood, lightning-struck wood is mentioned as a suitable material for Vajra-related ritual implements. Currently, the finest lightning-struck wood is the heartwood of lightning-struck date palm; other types of lightning-struck wood are secondary but can also be used for ritual implements. (In Taoism, wild peach wood is also an excellent material for ritual implements. It possesses strong evil-warding energy, and implements made from it are potent in dispelling evil. Certain special woods also possess significant energy, such as "Ba Mu," which grows in deep mountains. Its wood is fine, and its growth period is very long. This wood has great energy and is a superior material for ritual implements.) Another article about lightning-struck wood: This refers to the wood of normally growing trees that have been struck by lightning, such as lightning-struck date palm, peach wood, willow, or poplar. The evil-warding properties of lightning-struck wood stem from the energy of the lightning. Legend has it that in the folk traditions of Northeast China, people widely believe that lightning-struck wood, split by heavenly lightning, is deeply feared by ghosts and spirits, making it the most potent object for warding off evil. This is because the information of spirits being suppressed by the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess remains imprinted on the lightning-struck wood, exerting a powerful deterrent effect on spirits, and can serve as a protective object for residences. Some folk shamans and celestial beings also fear lightning-struck wood, as the "possessions" on shamans are often low-level spirits like vengeful ghosts, foxes, or serpents. Common people further believe that trees felled by lightning possess evil-dispelling properties. This is because lightning has already driven away ghosts and evil spirits from the tree, and other malevolent entities will not dare to approach it upon seeing it. Therefore, in the Northeast region, people often string a piece of lightning-struck wood onto a cord and wear it on a child's wrist or hang it around their neck, believing this will prevent the child from being "possessed" and ensure they grow up healthy. The lightning-struck wood bracelets sold in this store are genuinely authentic. If you purchase one and feel no energy, or are unsure if it's real, please have it verified by a reputable spirit medium or master in your vicinity. If they still claim it's fake, that's fine; return it to me, and I will provide a full refund. These items are rare, and I am absolutely willing to buy them back.
