Should I put my blood and birth details inside a statue when installing a deity?

I would not regard placing your birth details inside a statue and offering your blood as ordinary installation. Pause and ask what the demand means. A relative’s introduction or an impressive teacher cannot justify following everything.

Dao Yue recounted friends’ experience: a couple seeking smoother life were told to bring home a worn statue at midnight, insert birth details and drip blood. Later demands included preparing Turtle and Snake Generals and placing a snake by the bed to feed eggs daily. They did not follow that last instruction and began doubting. This was a friend’s retelling, not our observation of the whole process, so every detail cannot be settled. But the demands themselves call for judgment.

Ordinary consecration and installation respectfully invite the appropriate deity, not demonstrate devotion through self-injury. This cannot be expanded into condemning every ritual using birth details, which have differing purposes. The concern here is putting a follower’s own blood and details inside a statue and requiring that person to worship it.

Regarding later retaliatory talisman attacks, I still said ‘if they truly occurred.’ Another practitioner’s claim did not verify them. Judge teachers by virtue, clear reasoning and whether displays of power or fear maintain payments. Improving life has paths beyond installing a deity at home. Do what you can and select clear, appropriate religious assistance.
