Chiang-shi

October 29th, 2010

Chiang-shi
Notorious “Hopping Ghost” commonly seen in Hong Kong cinema. More vampire or blood-thirsty corpse than ghost, these P’o-animated bodies are so limited in their movements from rigor that they have to literally hop to get from place to place. Dressed in Qing Dynasty burial clothes and wielding dangerously long blue fingernails, they attack their victims at the throat.

Rainbow Snake

October 28th, 2010

Rainbow Snake
Mythical serpent deity whose body is said to arch across the sky as a rainbow. Known by various names across the Aboriginal continent, this totemic ancestor resides in waterholes and rock pools that contain his life-giving rain. He is most associated with human fertility and nature, particularly the regeneration of life. It is this distinction that makes it the most significant Aboriginal deity, and great care must be taken to treat its resources respectfully and to avoid its wrath.
