Hi! It's me again! The laziest one in the whole school.. I'm sorry Abe no Masahiro.. You wanted a helper but I don't like talking to ppl. Especially answering their questions.. I failed, I know. My bad..
K.. So I have some more extra information for you. About onmyouji of course..
Onmyoudou means Way of Magick And The Universal Source.
"On" basically means vibration as in sound the building material of all
things. It is also the relationship of the patterns in such things as the
stars, seasons, and nature.
"Myou" magick is the understanding of turning ideas into reality.
"Dou" means way, path, science.
The practitioner of Onmyoudou is called an Onmyouji. Onmyouji were popular
with Japanese dynasties who consisted of mostly men in their prime "Ji" who
ascended to the dynastic court by impressing people with their psychic
abilities and the skill in foretelling the future.
Instead of puppets, Onmyouji controlled the "Oni" or spirits through a
series of "hitogata" human shaped paper dolls.
Onmyouji practiced Shamanism. They believed in spirit animals.
Like Runes, Greek, and Orgham used by Wiccans the Onmyouji considered
writing to have magickal properties and Kanji or Chinese script could be
empowered with "myou" or "ki" magickal energy in order to create change.
Onmyouji were Taoists in that they worked with male, female, and uniting
forces and recognized them in nature. This is similar to Wiccan beliefs in
the Goddess and God manifested in everything. Furthermore the harmony of
male and female forces is needed for the practioner to cast spells.
Onmyouji consider the pentagram to be their sacred symbol and the symbol of
their "Dou" or way. This is an arrangement of the 5 elements and the
creative and destructive cycle in nature.
Onmyouji chant as do Wiccans.
Onmyouji are also spiritists in that they work with the dead, a form of
"oni". The onmyouji with ultimate power has the ability to raise the dead
back to life. This is similar to the Wiccan concept of the ancestors.
Onmyouji are believers in reincarnation, and other original indo-European
beliefs channeled through China to Japan.
Onmyouji were politicians and pragmatists. They weren't just the diviners
for the Emperor. They were war strategists, diplomats, and negotiators. They
were economists, mechanics, and educators. Basically the Onmyouji were an
intellectual class in 10th Century Japan.
Onmyouji focused on the art of functionality, simplicity, power, beauty, and
ultimately perfection of life. Onmyouji though most historical figures were male were also female.
Onmyouji believe in Karma or the Laws of Return. These principals were
recorded as "Sakanagi" or "backlash." What you do will be returned upon you
so have a clear conscience." This is basically the teaching of Sakanagi.
There is detailed explaination of the techniques of lucid dreaming in
ancient Onmyoudou texts.
Onmyouji reached it's popularity in Japan in the 10th Century but has it's
origins in China where Onmyouji is still practiced today.
The word onmyoudou basically means learn the ways of ideas to become reality. Or something like this.. That's the power of gods. And humans are gods. You might hate me but I'll say this..
You can't become onmyoji if you don't possess all five elements in your heart and and living ideas in your mind. Now think about what have been said. Onmyouji always learns. This school has minimum information. You will have to look for the information your self. Oh, internet doesn't has the information you need. Or rather it's impossible to find the information you need on the internet. But there are always books and ppl. Wisdom is everywhere. You just have to see it.
I have a good advice. Make some delicious tea. And spend some time watching the nature and the world every day. Don't be afraid to talk to people openly. Don't be afraid to be deceived. Think of every word you say and every word you hear. Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions. Don't be hasty to live. You will have thousands of lives. You won't go to hell or heaven. But everything you do will deffinitely come back to you. You also control your own fate. So don't blame the gods if something will go wrong. Don't be afraid to be your self. Remember that the Eight Immortals were alway a lil bit weird... But that doesn't change the fact that they were gods! And may the gods of wisdom help you on your path.
