“The Jade Mirror of Lingbao Daoist Magic” by Jerry Alan Johnson

"The Jade Mirror of Lingbao Daoist Magic" by Jerry Alan Johnson

"The Jade Mirror of Numinous Treasure (Lingbao Yujian) Daoist teachings were popular in ancient China during the Southern Song Dynasty. Included in the following three installments are both the translations and commentaries surrounding all 43 Volumes of this unique mystical text.

In this fascinating book are many of the magical invocations and secret talismans that were used by the ancient Lingbao Daoists to summon celestial generals to take command of wandering ghosts and disruptive spirits. Also included in these unique teachings are special star stepping instructions, the activation incantations used to empower the rituals, and the different types of altar banners that were used as important exorcism and meditation tools as well as special transformation of food instructions, and the Yin & Yang, Water, Fire, and Illumination rituals that were originally used by these ancient Daoist priests..

It is my sincere hope that all who read these unique teachings will enjoy this second book, and will greatly benefit from Daoist master Ge Chaofu’s personal attempt to combine and utilize the ancient mystical teachings and wisdom of the early Shangqing Daoist and Mahayana Buddhist sects."
