Dear Anon,

1. First of all, try not to be alarmed as often, such happens are `very rare'.

2. You can say that in the practise of Geomancy, it is part and parcel of a Geomaner's `job hazard'. Since, we often, perform audits all over. And many on a rare occassions encounter such situations.

3. In some cultures, we hear of `black magic'. And as I had mentioned previously; the Japanese has theirs, the Chinese and even the Malays or the Bugis (in the Malay peninsula) do have them. However, as mentioned above, these are pretty rare unless, one actively seeks them.

4. For most of us the best precaution we should take are:-

4.1 Do not purchase any old antique furniture in particular wardropes - if the origin is suspect. Even if we are told of it's origin, we should try to avoid buying them.

This is because, (again I must stress - rarely) sometimes, if we inadvertenly purchase a `suspect' antique furniture, a `spirit' which has attached itself to it, may come-in to `live' with us.

4.2 As mentioned in my previous postings, avoid a large lone tree at the frontage of the home (especially if it is usually located at the right side of the compound (if we were to stand at the main door facing outwards). But, please don't take it literally that all trees at this location msut be chopped-off. This is just of the more common situations with regards to `spirits'.

4.3 Hanging windchimes.

If we are not too sure, try not to hang windchimes. As it may inadvertently attract a `playful imp' into the home.

5. I like to assure that (again) that rarely, many of us will not meet such things in our life time. Only those who actively seek them out (or unlucky) have such an encounter.

6. Basically, life is short so, try to put such fears out of your mind.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
