TY - JOUR T1 - The Amulet in Thunder Magic Rituals as Prism of Taoist Exorcist Power. The Amulet of Comprehensive Support due to the Commands of Thunders and Thunderclaps 雷霆號令總攝符 PY - 2017 N2 - The presentation focuses on the chapters 122–124 in the Taoist canonical collection A Corpus of Taoist Rituals 道法會元 that contain two different exorcist traditions. The study analyses one major amulet in its dispersed form and establishes the connection between the two variant traditions that presumably are related to the activities of the Taoists and exorcists Wu Meng 吳猛, Hsü Sun 許遜 (3 rd ct.), and Wang Wen-ch'ing 王文卿 (12th ct.) and emerged in the regions of Kiangsi and Hunan in the 12th and 13th centuries. The study embeds the ritual production of amulets in the context of religious Taoism. Amulets are the crucial ritual device in Taoist exorcism.
