In the Buddhist religion, and in Chinese art, these sacred objects are known as "Foo Dogs". Its not uncommon to see them guarding tombs or placed in front of buildings to scare the evil spirits away and thus discourage any wrong doers and demons from entering the place of tranquility. The Foo Dog is embodied in rich Chinese history and tradition and are very popular today in all parts of the world.

An old African tradition being revived today is the growing of bottle trees. The bottle tree custom stems from beliefs brought to the Americas by the slaves from Kongo (sic) where a somewhat similar construction was found in the graveyards. It was believed that by placing bottles on the ends of tree branches, evil spirits would become trapped in the bottles, offering protection.
Not too long ago it looked as though the bottle tree custom would become lost. Across the south, as old, dilapidated tenant farms were being torn down, the bottle trees that adorned many of the yards were destroyed as the houses were razed.
But now, the growing of bottle trees has found new life. Rather than using a real tree, iron rods are being welded together or inserted in wood to form the tree. Once a tree is planted, empty bottles are placed on the ends of the rods. Blue bottles were particularly valued because they were believed to be better at catching the evil spirits.
From "Bottle Trees" by Ann Baird. (From the sign by the tree at the Botanical Garden)
Every Thai place be it a park, condo, shopping centre, temple, school has a "Spirit House" outside. It is believed that these protect places from evil spirits and offerings are left each day to keep them happy.
This one is more elaborate than most as is at the entry of a park.
I always find them fascinating.

Mark 16:9 (NLT)
[Longer Ending of Mark]
After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified, since this scene occurs earlier in the life of Jesus.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun illuminates this scene from the right. Notice the dark shadows around Mary, representative of the evil spirits coming out of her.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
The resurrected Jesus, Mary Magdalene.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene forms part of the Easter series, from Mark’s Gospel.
There are two versions of this scene:
01) (Previous page) Mark 16 - Resurrection of Jesus - Scene 06 - Mary Magdalene (Worship version). In which the resurrected Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene near the tomb.
02) (This page) Mark 16 - Resurrection of Jesus - Scene 06 - Mary Magdalene (Daemon version). In this version Jesus the Christ is casting out the seven daemons or evil spirits that were in Mary Magdalene. This event would have happened before the crucifixion & resurrection, probably when Jesus first met Mary.
Notice that the daemons or evil spirits are slightly translucent, so that you can see the figure of Mary Magdalene through them.
The original version of the daemons made them look like giant floating raisins... not the effect I was after, so I re-designed them to look like the above - a lot more vicious in appearance!

Mark 1:21-28 "And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 'What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.' But Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be silent, and come out of him!' And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, 'What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.' And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee."
Studio Ghost Stories Pt. I
My friend suggested that we should take a couple of spooky pictures with light coming from below like from a torch. Here are excerpts from that photo shoot.
By (James) Jacques-Joseph Tissot, French, 1836-1902. Lithograph after a painting now in the Brooklyn Museum, New York.
The prints are from “La Vie de Notre Seigneur Jésus Christ: trois cent soixante-cinq compositions, tirées des Quatre Evangiles avec des notes et des dessins explicatifs par J. James Tissot” 4 vols. Illustrations by James Tissot. Publisher: Tours: Alfred Mame et Fils, 1896-97. Folio. 279 pages (text) with 36 plates and an additional suite of 333 in-text plates. 5 sections (The Holy Childhood, The Ministry, Holy Week, The Passion, The Resurrection) containing 365 compositions from the four gospels. The numerous in-text illustrations are in full color, sepia, and monochrome. The text volumes are printed on grand velin paper with 36 tissue-guarded full-page hors-text plates in duplicate (color and green or sepia-tone lithographs). Paper size 15 3/4 x 12 3/4 inches; image size varies (ca 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches).
In America the publisher was Doubleday & McClure Co. who produced 100 “Grand Luxe” copies and 600 “Autograph Edition” copies containing extra features and marketed in conjunction with exhibitions of Tissot’s Bible illustrations in America. “The Life of Or Saviour Jesus Christ. Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Compositions From the Four Gospels with Notes and Explanatory Drawings by J James Tissot.” Notes Translated by Mrs. Arthur Bell. New York: The McClure-Tissot Company, 1899.
The work was printed in France by Lemercier, who employed some 100 workmen to prepare 4000 plates for various colours and processes - lithograph, photogravure, typographer, wood engraving etc. Tissot himself supervised the preparation of the plates and later the printing of the volumes; they may therefore be said to embody the artist's intention in the medium of chromolithography as well as paint.

One method of letting the evil spirits out of the head was to cut a hole in the skull; this practice is known as trepanning.
St. Patrick's, Urbana, Illinois. Well, it happened again. The cloud formation was not photoshopped in. I think my camera is possessed....
According to Japanese belief...maybe not all, an evil spirit can only travel in straight lines. The crooked path around the lake in a Japanese garden keeps the spirits from following you.

not really a bird - an evil spirit. I'm serious. Even when I took the photo, I felt creeped out. Then I lost it on my own hard drive for over three months. I had saved it under the file name "flickr" - and I have no memory of even doing that. I accidently ran across it this week when cleaning out old files due to a major hardware upgrade... then things got stranger still: I tried loading this photo onto my site here about a dozen times. Each time it appeared flipped sideways. I used three different photo editing programs to try to make it stay upright. I used the 'rotate' option right here on the photo several times in both directions. I achieved success only on my 13th try.... how weird is that?
