Huat Soh aka The Cleansing Whip (法索/淨鞭/法鞭/聖者/金鞭聖者), which is being used during Taoist Rituals/Celebrations/Ceremonies.
As what the name of this object tells you, this whip is being used to do cleansing for the area of where the events are being held or performed, etc.
In myth and belief, this whip was the transformation of the Snake Demon that Zhang Gong Sheng Jun aka Fa Zhu Gong subdue.
Besides doing cleansing, such whip can also be used to give commands to Spiritual Armies, etc.
Features to look into when getting a Spiritual Whip:
1 Ba Gua at the Head or Forehead of the Snake - represents Ba Gua Ya Ding (八卦壓頂)
2 Seven Stars at the Throat - represents Qi Xing Feng Hou (七星封喉)
Without these Features, then the Spiritual Whip is consider as a normal Whip, but when these Features are present, the Spiritual Power of the Whip will increase tremedously.

Another 3 new Huat Soh pics added. (huatsoh_1/2/3.jpg)
ReplyDeletei want to ask a question this huat soh is anyone can take one?
ReplyDeleteHi Bro, what do mean by "anyone"?
ReplyDeleteanyone in the tua
ReplyDeleteThis one has to depend lo.
ReplyDeleteFor some sintua, they are more particular one, the in-charge wont allow anyone jus go touch touch.
But for nowadays, seem like everyone can also take and play with them.. actually quite sad to see that.
In the past, once the Huat Soh is being enhance, only the key person or the person who is being appointed as the "Sheng Zhe" can touch the Huat Soh.
oh ty
ReplyDeleteCan i noe where can i get this huat soh??
ReplyDeleteso,the head is snake or dragon ?
ReplyDeleteDifferent Spiritual People will use different type of Head, all these will have to go thru training before finalizing which to use.
ReplyDeleteHi bro i would like to know how does the Seven Stars at the Throat - represents Qi Xing Feng Hou look like cos it hard to see it in those shop at rochor and where can i get people to custom made
ReplyDeleteQi Xing Feng Hou, quite difficult to explain here. Cos different Priests will perform different Methods to enhance the 7 Stars onto the Throne. And once the 7 Stars are being enhanced, then it is considered a Huat Soh, if not, it is a Normal Whip.
ReplyDeleteWhere can i buy the huat soh??? i wan keep as a present to myself. i really urgent finding people who are selling.
ReplyDeleteDear Ong, you can get them at Rochor Center. Any size and lenght, you can choose in the shop.
