The Onmyodo Magician
Onmyoji
Onmyodo is the Japanese name for a
kind of magic based on the Chinese yin/yang Daoist art used for fortune telling
astrology, healing, exorcisms, providing protective amulets or papers called
o-fuda, and much more. The specialists in Onmyodo are called Onmyoji or
Shomenji. Abe no Seimei, c. 921-1005, was the most famous Onmyoji. He practiced
his art during the Heian Period, 794-1192, in Japan, during the heyday of the
imperial court. His magic was thought to be extremely powerful as he was the
son of a magical fox and an onmyoji of the Abe family.
In my story, Andre Minamoto, a
doctoral student, is working on his research into Japanese folklore in Japan. He
comes across some people in a small village who know of the existence of an
ancient by the name of Abe no Seimei. Hungry to know more, Andre ventures into
a remote area to find the reclusive sage. When he finds the man, his entire
belief system is shaken. He is forced to admit that he has come across
something science just can’t explain. Fables claim that Abe no Seimei lived for
an extraordinarily long time. Some stories claim that he still lives—but how
can a man over 900 years old be alive, so young looking, and so attractive? As
if this were not enough, he finds that Seimei is in the company of a host of
demons, ghosts, devils, and goblins Andre thought were the stuff of myth. Thus
he begins a journey into the unknown world of Japanese spirits. With Seimei as
his guide, he experiences sights he never thought possible.
