Dear Anon,

1. Usually this set of i-ching coins string together is around 8 1/2 inches in length.

2. Since it takes the form of a `coin sword'; thus the implication is that it is for `defense'. For example, it is said to be used for protection or to ward-off evil spirits.

3. If you have the opportunity to view Chinese cinema shows, especially shows that have elements of toaism, ghosts/spirit or even Chinese vampires.

4. In such shows, one may chance to see a Chinese toaist expert using similar type of sword to destroy the bad/evil spirit by stabbing the creature with it. And performing rites.

5. Thus, it is as you had mentioned hung at some locations to disperse Sha Qi inside the home.

6. This is opposed to idea of hanging a ba gua. Where a ba gua normally should not be hang inside the home. The Ba Gua must be hung facing an exterior.

7. Where possible, try not to hang it facing one's main door or facing the seats in the living room. Sometimes, it is placed at NE or SW sectors. NE = devil's gate and SW = devil's back door. Or at locations where a `haunting may occur' within the home.

8. So far, since this is a Chinese implement, not sure if it can be applicable to unwanted spirits other than e.g. Chinese ghosts or spirits. For European or American ghosts/spirits... not sure whether it can be effective due to perhaps different culture.

9. I personally feel that some Feng Shui implements are not necessarily Globalised or Internationalised due to different cultures. It is best to if possible apply `methods' to a specific culture especially if it concerns extorism rituals etc...

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
