Onmyōdō

Onmyōdō is a traditional Japanese practice combining elements of astrology, magic, and spiritual beliefs, developed from Chinese Taoist concepts. Practitioners called onmyōji used this system to understand and influence the natural and spiritual worlds, aiming to maintain harmony and ward off evil. It involves divination, talismans, and rituals to balance energies, predict future events, and protect individuals or places. Historically influential in court and society, Onmyōdō blends science, spirituality, and mysticism to navigate life's uncertainties and maintain cosmic order.
