This is one of my collection of Mao Shan Sect Talismans. In the West seers have a crystal ball to seek certain answer. While we guys in the East had a secret dharma used by Taoist to seek answer.
This is done by burning this Talisman and placing it into a bowl of water, we then concentrate and look very closely on the surface of the water while asking the question in mind to appear on the bowl of water.
You can use it to seek lost objects, friends, and even things stolen by anyone i.e. to see the identity of the thief.
