🕯️ “RA GHOST” – A SPECIAL SPIRITUAL RITUAL IN FUNERAL CEREMONY
The “ra ma” ceremony, also known as the “exit coffin” ceremony, is a traditional spiritual ceremony, meaning to lift the coffin and take the deceased’s soul out of the earthly house.
In this ceremony, the Tao master – the celebrant – will use spiritual techniques to perform the “lift coffin” movement, then transfer the coffin to the funeral procession to move outside.
❗ Only Tao masters with the highest magical power are capable of performing the “ra ma” ceremony. During the ceremony, there are many strict spiritual rules that everyone must absolutely follow:
– Do not touch the house pillars or lean against the wall.
– Children must be picked up.
– People who are sitting must stand up, people who are sleeping must leave the room.
– Everyone must stand around the coffin during the “exit”.
– People who are weak-hearted or afraid of spirituality are absolutely not allowed to watch, look or glance while Master Tao is performing the magic.
According to folk beliefs, anyone who violates the rules during the “exit” ceremony may encounter spiritual misfortune, affecting both the living and the spirit of the deceased.
