The Dish Spirit (纸碟仙 ) - Procedures and Pointers

by Jona82

碟仙(Die Xian) is known as the Dish Spirit or Saucer Spirit. It is also sometimes called as the Chinese Ouija Board

This article is on Procedures, Process and Pointers to take note of when playing this game

English Translation:

The saucer spirit refers to a spirit which dwells in a saucer. It has neither form nor shape. It attaches itself to the saucer, and it has the ability to foresee the future and look into the past. They are benevolent, but can be mischievous at times. There are things in this world that people don’t know about, or don’t want to encounter. However, these spirits are harmless. Maybe you might want to get to know more about them.

To summon the spirit, time and location is very important. It’s better to choose a relatively clean place, usually at 11pm at night. (Why not 12 midnight? This is because 12 midnight is the time the gates of hell open, when spirits lurk around. Otherwise, you might summon…let’s not talk about that.

Participants: Around 5 or 6. The spirit is summoned using a person’s thoughts [sic]. An ordinary person will have relatively weak thoughts, but it’s a different story when you have special abilities.

Tools: Choose a relatively clean plate, preferably white. Invert the plate over a white sheet of paper, then draw circles according to the wider circumference of the plate, then write “yes”, “no”, and the numbers 1 to 9. Even though the saucer spirit is a spirit, it belongs to the netherworld plane, which is a different world from our mortal plane. Therefore, it can only communicate with us through a solid object, and not by talking (you’ll probably foam at your mouth if it talks to you in the middle of the night)

Let’s start. Sit around the sheet of paper, and place the plate on the sheet of paper. Switch off all the lights, close the door, and open the window. Get everyone to tap their fingers lightly on the plate. Everyone has to start mentally chanting, “spirit of the saucer, I summon thee”. (If any one of them has distractive thoughts, the spirit will not come. Even if something eventually comes, heaven or hell knows what it is.)

How do you tell that the spirit has arrived? If you notice that the plate has started to move slightly, it shows that the spirit has arrived.

Once the spirit is summoned, most people will start asking the spirit its gender, age, and how it died. The spirit will answer. However, such questions must be asked carefully in order not to offend the spirit. Otherwise, trouble may brew. Remember! After that, you can ask anything you want. The spirit can guide you to the answers you desire.

Once the questions are answered, you’ll have to bring the spirit back to its original position. For this step, you'll have to proceed with caution, because any mistake could spell catastrophe. Once you finished asking all your questions, you'll need to chant, “Saucer spirit, we’re done with our questions, you may take your leave!” After that, the spirit will return to its original position, and you can take away the plate and pack up.

When carrying out this mystic ritual, the sheet of paper needs to be as big as a wall calendar. A circle corresponding to the size of the plate has to be drawn in the epicenter of the paper. Draw a skull and a pair of bones in that circle, and write in an orderly manner in the area around the circle, your surname, name, number, colour, and anything else you need to write. The format of the information provided must be clear and distinct.

Saucer spirit – Points to note

Do not take the initiative in asking the spirit to leave. You invited it, so how can a host chase its guest away? If you chase it away, you shall have to bear the consequences.

If you are doing this in summer, if you need to burn mosquito repellent incense or turn on an electric fan, you will need the spirit’s permission. If you take matters into your own hands, you shall have to bear the consequences.

In every session, the spirit will tease a person, and the answers it gives to the person who asks the question will tend to be provocative and teasing in nature. Bad luck if the person is you.

The spirit’s rules will be different in every place. Every situation has to be analyzed accordingly. If you're interested, no harm giving it a try. Their predictions are very accurate.

Take note that there are two major taboos when invoking spirits of pens, saucers, and chopsticks. 1) Do not ask them about their grievances. 2) Do not ask them about how they died. You’re getting yourself into trouble.

Even though the spirit of the plate is friendly, but the spirit you summon may not necessarily be it. So, good luck to you. Try to restrict your questions to those with yes or no answers, and numbers. That will make communication a lot easier. That's up to you.

Saucer spirit - Warnings

Such a game is dangerous. The probability of summoning demons is higher than that of summoning benevolent spirits. Please don’t try this for the purpose of testing your luck, or you may regret it.

Original Article (Chinese):

碟仙，顾名思义就是在碟子上的神仙。他们无形无影，附在碟子上，他们有预知未来，过去的能力。他们很善良，当然偶尔也会调皮一下。这世界真的存在一些人们所不知道的东西，或许很多人并不想遇见，但是他们，对我们没有什么害处。也许你们应该见见。

碟仙 - 过程
Saucer spirit - Process

请碟仙，要讲究时间和地点。最好选择在比较清净的地方，通常在晚上11:00左右。（为什么不能在12:00呢？因为12:00是鬼开门开启之时，也就是百鬼出动，夜游的开始，所以，那时候请，请来的是什么，我也就不说了。嘻嘻，如果你够胆不妨试试啦)。

人数：在5-6人左右，以为请仙是用人的意念来请，普通的人，意念比较弱，除非你有特异功能这就另当别论了。

道 具：选一个比较干净的小碟子，最好是白色的，然后先在一张大大的纸头上用笔，倒扣碟子，在纸上按碟子的大小画圆，分别写上“是”“否”“1-9”数字。因 为小碟仙虽然是神仙但是和我们也是阴阳两隔，所以只能通过物体来交谈，而不能说话.(估计深更半夜的他和你说话，你要口吐白沫了）。

好吧，一切就绪，我们开始了。所有的人围坐在纸旁，碟子则放在纸上。关掉所有的灯，关掉门，打开一扇窗。然后所有的人用手指轻点在碟子上，每个人用意念去想“小碟仙快来”。（如果其中有一个人心有杂念,那么小碟仙是不会来的，如果来了，也不知道什么东东了。)

如何判断小碟仙来了呢？如果看见放在纸上的碟轻轻开始转动，那么就说明小碟仙来了。

大多数人请到碟仙以后第一个问题会问碟仙是男或是女，几岁，是怎样死的，碟仙就会一一解答。但是问这种问题时不能讲一些对碟仙不敬的东西，因为会有麻烦事发生。切记切记！之后你可以问一些你想知道的问题，碟仙会带领你找到要知道的答案。

一切问题解决后，就要请碟仙回到原位，这一步不能马虎，因为做错可就不得了！当问完了所有问题后，一定要说：“碟仙碟仙，所有的问题都问完了，你可以下去了！”之后碟子就会回到原来位置，你就可以把碟子揭开和收拾了！

要玩碟仙这种有神秘感的占卜，一定要准备好一张象挂历纸大小的白纸，在正中间画上和碟子一样大小的圆圈，圆圈里面要画上一个骷颅骨头，在圆圈周围有规律写上你所知道的姓氏、名字、数字、颜色和其他你想有必要写的东西。要记住要一列一列分清楚。

碟仙 - 注意事项

1、 不能主动要求小碟仙离开。因为你请他们来，怎么可以逐客呢？如果你赶他们走，后果……

2、如果是夏天，要点蚊香或者开电风扇，都要得到小碟仙的同意。如果你擅自做主，后果……

3、每一次，小碟仙总会捉弄一个人，对哪个人的问题他的答案都是掏糨糊。至于是谁，那要看小碟仙的心情了，如果是你，那就自认倒霉吧。

4、每个地方小碟仙的规矩都不一样，具体情况还要具体分析。如果你有兴趣不妨试试了。他们的预测很准的哦。

另外，听说请笔仙、碟仙、筷仙等有两大禁忌：一不问冤情，二不问死法。以免易惹鬼上身。

虽然碟仙很和善，不过有时候你请的并不一定是他们，所以，看你的在造化了。所问的问题最好是简单的是否，以及数字，这样比较容易沟通。一切，就看你的了。

碟仙 - 告诫

蝶仙、这类游戏十分危险，请到妖魔的几率要远远大于请到善灵的几率，请各位不要抱侥幸心理，不要玩，否则，可能会后悔莫及的！
