How to ward off evil spirits during Ghost Festival: A guide to warding off evil spirits

Worshiping ghosts

It is said that the Ghost Festival is the day when the gates of hell open wide and ghosts can roam the human world. Therefore, in order to gain peace of mind, many people will perform sacrificial activities on the day of the Ghost Festival. Here we would like to remind everyone that before worshiping, the most necessary offerings should be prepared, such as paper money, gold ingots, roasted meat, vegetables, water, rice and wine, etc. Because ghosts are usually trapped in hell and cannot roam around, and can only come to the world of the living in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, we have to burn paper money, gold ingots, and prepare food for them to enjoy, so that they will not harass us.

Dressing Note

During the Ghost Festival, we can start with our clothing. That is, during the Ghost Month, try to avoid wearing brightly colored clothes, especially red clothes. Also, on the night of Ghost Festival, we should not walk around in red clothes, let alone go out wearing red clothes. Of course, you can wear a red rope to ward off evil spirits. Here we suggest that you choose yellow clothes that represent divine light, and don’t let your hair block your forehead where the sun’s energy is concentrated. If you have bangs, it’s best to pin them up with hairpins. In addition, we can also consider wearing some accessories that have the function of warding off evil spirits, such as white crystal, agate, etc.
