The True Martial Supreme Incantation Amulet is a beautiful and elegant pendant. One side features the Supreme Incantation, engraved with the text: "The Supreme Incantation states: This talisman is accompanied by thirty-five divine officials. The sky is round, the earth is square; the six rhythms and nine chapters govern. Where the talisman's deity arrives, all ghosts perish. Hasten! As decreed by the divine law! Keep it at home or wear it, reciting seven times daily." The other side depicts the image of True Martial (Xuanwu), with disheveled hair and bare feet, dragon-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, clad in a dark robe, golden armor, and a jade belt. Brandishing a magic sword with a fierce gaze, standing barefoot on a turtle and snake, surrounded by a halo of light, the image is extremely majestic. As he guards the north, governs wind and rain, and is associated with water (hence known as the Water God and Supervisor of Water and Soil), the pattern background is embossed with water ripples. Wearing it wards off ghosts and evil, attracts good fortune, and ensures peace; placing it in the home protects the residence and brings tranquility.

Wudang Mountain flourished in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of over 600 years. During this period, Taoist practitioners and followers of Wudang Mountain formed a deep bond with Mountain Ghost Amulets. The traditions of making and wearing these amulets thrived. The "True Martial Supreme Incantation" amulets passed down from the Ming Dynasty carry a historical legacy and have demonstrated practical effects for thousands of years.
First minted in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, they reached their peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties and were widely used by the public. Later, they gradually became tools for Taoist priests to cast spells for subduing demons, pacifying ghosts, and exorcising evil—also known as magical instruments. After being consecrated by Taoist priests (all our products are consecrated), people would invite them to hang at home or carry them for protection. The central text on the back reads the Taoist incantation: "Thunder! Thunder! Slay ghosts, subdue essence, exterminate demons, eliminate evil, and eternally preserve spiritual clarity. By the urgent decree of the Supreme Lord Laozi!" The left and right sides bear four-character charms: "Thunder Order" on the left and "Slay Ghosts" on the right, collectively interpreted as "Thunder Order to Slay Ghosts". Most Mountain Ghost Amulets on the market feature the character "敕 (Chi)", but in Taoist talisman writing, the "勅 (Chi)" version is the standard and more in line with orthodox Taoist talisman norms. The other side is engraved with the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams, symbolizing the pursuit of the grand principle, the mutual generation of yin and yang, and the endless cycle of life.
Surprisingly, scientific research also shows that wearing these amulets brings numerous benefits to one's fortune. An international team of scientists, including researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has described how the pendants activate little-known ion channels in the brain to alleviate anxiety or depression and transform destiny. This suggests that a whole new category of traditional methods may be right before our eyes.
