About Lightning-Struck Wood: For those with sensitive constitutions or spiritual inclinations, the energy of lightning-struck wood provides a comfortable, flowing sensation of electricity throughout the body, without any prickling or discomfort. However, entities of an unclean nature will not favor its energy (the reason is explained below). Lightning-struck wood, also known as "Exorcism Wood," is considered a supreme divine wood in Taoist sorcery. The ancient text "Wan Fa Gui Zong" lists it as the foremost sacred wood for crafting magical implements. While it is now commonly believed that lightning-struck wood is primarily used in Taoism due to its recent prominence in Taoist practices over the last few centuries, Buddhist scriptures dating back over 2,500 years already discussed its use in Vajra scepters. For example, in the "Tāluóní Jīng," Volume Two, it states that a five-pronged Vajra scepter can be made from the heartwood of a lightning-struck date palm. It also mentions that before crafting the Vajra, the materials must be consecrated with incantations 108 times. The "Sūxīdì Jīng" describes the crafting of Vajra scepters: "For Vajra implements, use wood struck by heavenly fire (lightning). This can be from a neem tree, white sandalwood, or red sandalwood. Carve any of these woods into a three-pronged Vajra scepter. During rituals or chanting, hold it in your left hand. It can accomplish all matters and is called a scepter..." The "Jǐng Yòu Liù Rén Shén Dìng Jīng," Volume Two, Chapter Thirty, states: "'Xuán Nǚ says: The method for creating the 'shì' (astrological chart) uses maple wood for heaven. 'Maple wood' refers to a distinct branch of a maple tree, growing from the side with a large bough, appearing level with the mother tree from a distance, but at different heights up close. It also uses the heartwood of a date tree for earth, symbolizing the principles of heaven and earth. Maple is the essence of trees, and the date tree is its envoy. Among natural objects, these are the most spiritual.' The commentary on the 'Léi Gōng Shā Lǜ' states: 'There are three types of 'shì' formations. The best wood is lightning-struck date heartwood (i.e., date wood struck by lightning); sandalwood is intermediate; persimmon wood is inferior. If lightning-struck date heartwood is unavailable, old axle wood can be used, provided it is carefully selected...'" It is evident that both Buddhist and Taoist traditions highly value lightning-struck wood, with its heartwood being considered the most superior. Why is lightning-struck wood so highly regarded? It is likely related to deities who govern thunder and lightning, such as Léi Gōng and Diǎn Mǔ, as evidenced by expert scholarly articles like "A Study of Léi Gōng and Diǎn Mǔ." Léi Gōng is a god of justice who does not strike those who do good deeds, but rather punishes evil or wicked individuals who defy heavenly laws. This can be found in the "Léi Gōng Cuō Shā Lǜ" in the "History of Song." This indicates that Léi Gōng does not strike solely for the physical act of electrical discharge but follows a set of rules. This principle is widely known, to the point where people often curse wrongdoers by saying, "May lightning strike them!" In ancient times, as people interacted with nature, they gradually recognized the potent energy that lightning-struck wood possessed after being struck by lightning. This energy could dispel evil, promote good, and enhance magical abilities to their utmost. Consequently, lightning-struck wood has been secretly sought after by practitioners since ancient times to harness its spiritual power and augment their own abilities. Wearing it not only protects against the intrusion of evil energies but also brings auspiciousness and good fortune, which is why it has been treasured as a valuable item since antiquity. I. Identifying Lightning-Struck Wood 1. Visual Examination for Scorching Marks: Look for traces of lightning strikes. Typically, wood struck by lightning will show broken branches and scorched marks from the impact. 2. Energy Detection and Sensing: Wood struck by lightning contains electrical energy. After acquiring the wood, one can sense this energy through touch, qi flow, or with the aid of special abilities. It should feel like a current without being painful or uncomfortable. However, if something unclean is present, it will not tolerate the energy (the reason is explained below). 3. Identifying Lightning Patterns: All lightning-struck wood exhibits lightning patterns. Identifying these patterns is difficult and usually requires instruction from an experienced craftsman. It is challenging for the average person to discern. The three points above should be used in conjunction. Relying solely on bodily sensation to determine if wood is lightning-struck is extremely erroneous. Someone with a moderate level of internal energy practice can project their energy onto any object, causing it to feel warm, tingly, or swollen. This does not definitively prove it is from a lightning strike or from blessings. Therefore, judging lightning-struck wood cannot depend on sensation alone; it must be combined with the aforementioned methods for accurate identification. Lightning-struck wood can be used to craft magical implements for praying for clear skies and rain, commanding the three realms, summoning spirits, slaying demons, dispatching celestial scribes, purifying souls, sending off wandering spirits, imprinting talismans, protecting residences, treating illnesses, and eradicating plagues. Legend has it that among the common folk in Northeast China, lightning-struck wood is widely believed to have been struck by heavenly lightning and is deeply feared by spirits, making it a highly potent item for warding off evil. The residual energy from Léi Gōng and Diǎn Mǔ's power imprinted on the wood exerts a formidable deterrent effect on spirits, making it suitable as a protective artifact for homes. Some folk shamans and deities also fear lightning-struck wood, as the spirits they embody are often vengeful souls, wild ghosts, or low-level spirits such as foxes, weasels, and snakes. Common folk also believe that trees felled by lightning possess exorcising properties. This is because the lightning has already driven away malevolent spirits from the tree, and other lingering spirits dare not approach it. Thus, in the Northeast region, people often thread a piece of lightning-struck wood onto a string and wear it on children's wrists or necks, believing it will protect them from "being influenced." #Bagua #Sandalwood #LightningStruckWood #Exorcism #YinYang #HangingOrnament #Necklace
