Daoist Talisman Magic - Win The Lottery?

[Nuralshamal]

Dear Dao bums,

I've been reading this blog on daoist sorcery on/off for a few years.

There's a lot of interesting info on there.

The "main thing" is that the teacher running the site talks about using Ku Man Tong to win the local lottery in Singapore.

Honestly I never really took it seriously, I just thought it was kind of hilarious that someone would spend so much time and energy spiritually on something which seems so borderline useless - why not just make money in a normal way? I know Singapore is a well-developed country, surely it would make more sense to work your way up career-wise or start your own business instead of trying to win the lottery.

But again, I know for sure I'm personally biased against so many things in life due to religious/conservative upbringing - eating meat, gambling, drinking alcohol, illicit sex, these were considered the end of the world morally and karmically, and a sure-fire way to self-destruction.

However, now that I'm grown I see that these things are seen as completely "normal" by a lot of people, as no big deal.

"Gambling Gods" and talismans are even a thing in Chinese Magic.

So I work to let go of all this conditioning and just be open.

Anyway, I just wanted to ask you; did any of you ever try contacting this guy?

If yes, what was your experience with him? (him as a teacher, as a person, and of course whether his magic works).

Here's the link to his blog: https://taoist-sorcery.blogspot.com/2025/03/my-fate-life-is-up-to-me-not-god-heaven.html 

I do think he seems quite sympathetic and well-informed in most of his posts, including the one I linked above.

Let me know if any of you has experience with him

That "sultry baby" statue in the header image is weirding me out.

Long ago I knew a fellow that ran an occult bookstore.  One day he asked me about a spirit that he noticed while meditating.

 

I had a look at the spirit and said:  in medieval times such spirits were  used to find lost treasure.

 

The fellow replied that all his life he had won lotteries and raffles.

Haha, epic comment.

I agree with you! 

It seems weird that he shows photos and films of his altar, talismans and magical items. Usually in Chinese thought others should never see your magic items or altar, as that will leak the qi.

So I thought, ok, there are 3 options:
1) he is a complete fake, not following the most basic rule,
2) he wants to share his goodness and doesn't mind the leak,
3) he is so confident in the power of his altar, talismans, spirits etc that he has a "come what may, I am more powerful than you anyway".

It takes a lot to continously sustain such an elaborate site, write so many blogs and keep on posting content, so he's committed for sure.

But what is he comitted to?

Spreading goodness?

Selling his services and making more money?

Plus, his content is pretty good, original, seems legit.

That's why I got curious

Nural, ive seen this site before in my search for knowledge of the chinese occult, dono whether real or not...but it seems from my research there's still a market  surprisingly to me after Im this age, my cousin being a Christian describes our chinese relatives  as 'superstitious' I thought these kind of practices are long gone. ( kuman tong..and .all kinds of spirits from Thailand, Cambodia Vietname etc ) but there's still a thriving market from all the asian and chinese countries,  still owned/managed by Chinese who speak broken English etc....again to my surprise as I would have thought the younger generation Chinese would have gone Christian after being better educated..but there are still apparently occultists who speak good English in SE asia and wordwide....

 

The thing is i think anyone on holy path should not touch lower arts of engage in lower spirits as whatever they can give u even if true, comes at a price, they are not going to give to you out of generosity, thats the common belief and there is usually a price to pay as commonly believed unless are you are like Ghost King of Penang who claims no karma will come to him, only the person who engages him to do dark magic...and when he dies, he just ceases to even exist...like some kind of convenient dark nirvana lol

 

Chinese/asian magic has some parallels with Western? Dark magic where they say they are not praying or worshipping these spirits, but rather masters of spirits who engage and control them...they don;t believe in karma though as far as i understand..but similar to chinese asian beliefs about luck etc..it seems that they believe every good fortunate or mis fortune that we encounter daily is actually a matter of magic - probably not well explained by me , but  in the book i read from Kindle but something along those lines...so magic is very possible to be used ruin or attract good things to someone as far as I understand the theory.
