Name: Fa Suo (Hokkien: Huat Soh, Sin Shu. Sin Bian)

Usage: This is usually used to "open" the way for Deities. This Huat Soh has to be whipped onto the floor or area infront of the Deities to get rid of "dirty stuffs" before allowing the Deities to cross over.

In some rituals, this Huat Soh is used as a weapon to "fight" with evil spirits.
