That night she said that she had heard the sound of handcuffs when she began feeling ill. By the next morning she was dead. The culprit, deemed guilty because she possessed the stolen goods, was caught up by the god's bureaucratic machinery and taken away, handcuffed, presumably to be punished in the underworld. This machinery is involved in an ordinary death as well. Walshe describes a warrant for the arrest of a dying man sent from the god of the underworld, countersigned by the ancestors and the god of the stove.
The priest cries: 'Gods of heaven and earth, invest me with the heaving seal, in order that I may eject from this dwelling-house all kinds of evil spirits. ' He then takes a bunch of willows which he dips into the cup, and with which he besprinkles the east, west, north, and south corners of the house. ' When he has said this, he fills his mouth with the water of exorcism, which he immediately ejects upon the eastern wall. He then calls aloud, 'Kill the green evil spirits which come from unlucky stars, or let them be driven far away' (1878: II, 18-19).
Some object may be used, or an image may be made and an imitation of the action desired to happen to a third person be performed, spells recited, and charms prepared to bring about desired results (p. 188). It is possible that describing acts as 'magical' in the sense Notes and Queries specifies (or some other) might be justified in certain cases where the ethnographic data show us people do intend their acts to work effects in these special ways. But Chinese written documents used in ritual could not be included among such cases: they are regarded as communications between men and spirits or between spirits with men as intermediaries; they take the form they do and are hoped to have certain effects because, as reports, orders, mandates, injunctions, or notices, they are thought to come before the eyes of beings who will respect the authority of their authors or be favorably impressed by what they describe or request.
