How To Protect The Home During Hungry Ghost Month

Ghost Month is upon us, and as we discussed previously, for the next 30 days, hungry ghosts will be in our realm, causing havoc and misfortune to many people if they are not appeased or avoided. We have compiled general tips on how to keep safe during this time in our previous blog post, but there is one specific place that needs extra attention: the home! And there is no other place where the hungry ghosts want to go to than the houses where we live, because of their envy of how we are still able to enjoy earthly pleasures while they can’t.

 
Reinforcing the home

The home needs to be protected, and right fully so, since our loved ones, our possessions, and our security depends on it! And here are some tips to protect the home during ghost month:

1.)    Install bright colors – change the curtains, sheets, and even lights to bright red and orange colors, can counterbalance the negativity the hungry ghosts bring. Curtains on window rooms are quite critical, as it can also serve to ward off some of the weaker ghosts from entering.

2.)    Install red lanterns – red lanterns  serve as beacons of positivity and wards against hungry ghosts, which is especially useful at night. Install the red lanterns near windows and beside the main entrance of your home, in order to discourage the hungry ghosts from trying to come in.

3.)    Perform the incense offering ritual – the incense offering ritual is a powerful way to appease the hungry ghosts, and are supposed to be done as often as possible, right before sunset before darkness comes. The incense ritual should be done outdoor, just outside the main entrance of the home, and should be left there to burn.
But sometimes, these precautions are not enough. Many people still feel uneasy despite these precautions and when this happens, it means more need to be done. This is where the talismans and guardians come in.
