This book invites readers to explore Malaysian Chinese culture through the unique world of spirit mediums, or Ji Tong. In Chinese tradition, Ji Tong plays a crucial role, serving as intermediaries between the divine and earthly realms. Entrusted by deities, they act as chosen representatives, helping people overcome misfortune and seek guidance.
The journey to becoming a Ji Tong is rigorous, marked by rites and challenges that lead to different classifications and roles within the tradition. Is it real? That’s for you to decide. As the saying goes, “For those who believe, it exists; for those who don’t, it does not.” This book illuminates the mysticism, practices, and beliefs surrounding the Ji Tong, offering a glimpse into an ancient tradition that continues to influence and inspire.
