About this episode.
We’re chatting all about how your BaZi natal chart (Four Pillars of Destiny) and face reading (Mian Xiang) can reveal a natural sensitivity to the spirit realm and unseen energy. We talk about the ancient Chinese astrology concept of childhood "demon gates," explore secret Taoist sorcery rituals, and dig into one of my favorite pieces of folklore: the history of corpse-driving and how it inspired legends about Jiangshi, the famous Chinese jumping vampires!
