Taoist Incantation: Incantation to the Thunder and Rain Judges of the Dou Mansion

Om, roar, roar! San Tan Na, Han Nan Yan, Qian Yi, Command! Command to rouse the Heavenly Capital of the Nine Heavens. The Fire Ministry is boundless; O Mighty Divine Kings, command to rouse the thunder and fire of the Nine Heavens—lightning fire, flying fire, sudden fire, flowing fire, hurled fire, the thunderbolt fire of the Seven Stars, blazing thunder and fierce fire, the celestial fire of the Nine Heavens’ Capital.

King Thunder, your chariot is grand, drawn by Kui Dragons; you ride a Flying Tiger. With lions, white wolves, xie leopards, and qilin—fire camels, fire elephants, fire eagles, fire horses, and legions of fire beasts. Bronze-headed and iron-faced, a million divine soldiers stand. Bearing the imperial axes of the Five Emperors, they march through the Four Heavens. The imperial bell shakes; all demonic ways tremble. In sacred grotto-heavens and blessed lands, in the unseen realms of mountains and rivers—mountains crumble, rivers surge, a hundred valleys boil. What spirit dares resist? None but submit and obey.

O King of the Great-Mouthed Wind! O Fire Lords and Fire Officers, descend from Heaven! From Bing and Ding directions, fire clouds surge and spread; eight dragons dash forth. The Five Generals of the Heavenly Capital devour thunder and let roar their voices. Sand flies, stones scatter, trees are uprooted. The Wind Wheel clusters on the left; the Fire Chariot advances on the right. Illuminating the Three Realms, they transform into a crimson fortress. Beneath the Dipper of the Eight Trigrams, thunder spreads to the Four Directions. Thunderbolts crash and roar; the Dharma rain falls unseen. Might covers the world—blazing, fierce power.

When ghosts and spirits see this, they sink ten thousand fathoms into the earth, turning to flying ash. Ancient cursed trees and evil temples shall be lost in dust for eternity. Hasten, in accordance with the decrees of the Great Mighty Virtue Marshal, Lord of the Nine Heavens’ Capital Fire, and the Wind Wheel and Fire Wheel! Command: Lord Shaoyang, Bi Lü, Bu Jian, Ren Yunli, Zheng Cheling, Wei Zhen—rouse now, march now, hasten now, arrive now!
