Taoist magical talismans are sometimes calligraphically written on small slips of yellow paper with red ink. What follows is the recipient then burns the talisman, mix the ashes with tea or water and drink the mixture, believing that to be the cure he or she is seeking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
