Talisman Sect
The Talisman sect is considered metaphysics since it can’t be seen nor be reached through objective studies of martial reality.
Taoists may take into account of the person’s energy and how a person’s energy is blocked then certain illnesses can be cured by using talisman spells. It also really depends on the powers of the Taoist Master to understand the patient as well as other circumstances which may affect the outcome.
Talisman spells are one of the main things learned during the practice of Supernatural Martial Arts. The writing of character symbols and chanting spells must be used together for it to be effective. The effectiveness and strengths of the talisman may differ depending on heaven & earth’s approvals and whether the Gods give permission to the Master to use the talisman. Basic talisman spells are usually used for pain relief and healing illnesses (for example, stop bleeding, stomach aches, muscle pain, etc. Disciples have used the above basic emergency talisman many times which can be considered as effective for every use. However, some readers may say that medicine can be used to stop bleeding. Bone fractures can be treated in the hospital and abdominal pain can be treated with medication as well. However, if there’s a lot of bleeding and/or the patient is located in the suburban plus there’s no quick access to medication and may be too far from the hospital, one may die of excessive blood loss. In such cases, if you know how to use talisman spells to stop the bleeding, you may be able to save a life. Of course, if you have a serious illness, you need to see a doctor. But before you can find a doctor, isn’t it best to save a life first?
In supernatural martial arts, there are earthly doctors who treat normal diseases in the mortal world. While heavenly doctors treat illnesses caused by karma which is also known as cause-and-effect disease.
The red ink used in the talisman is made of cinnabar and users normally use yellow paper as it is said that red ink plus yellow paper will reach and connect three worlds (heaven, earth, and hell). The talisman is believed to be like a court order. The talisman is sent to our God and requires approval before it can be effective. The Heaven court will instruct certain immortals or Gods to assist the user. If the talisman is approved, it will show the effectiveness of the spell used. The Gods or Deities are called upon once the talisman is burnt and spells chanted. Taoist Masters usually use talismans to invoke a God/Deity/Immortals to help, to protect a household, heal the sick, or exorcise demons or evil spirits.
