This is a special translation of an ancient Daoist training manual from the Taiqing (Great Clarity) Daoist tradition in early medieval China. It includes secret methods for writing magical talismans and for speaking sacred words of power through breath incantations.
This particular text outlines four special categories of magical talismans, used for (1) summoning gruadian spirits, (2) suppressing demonic spirits, (3) treating disease, and (4) blessing the home.
Therefore, this special instruction manual is presented here as an essential companion to the Daoist Magical Talismans textbook.
