nother superstitious teaching among New Age beliefs is Feng
Shui. This, an extension of pagan shamanist beliefs, is a super-
stition that has lately become fashionable as a result of wide-
spread propaganda. Relevant web sites describe this teaching as “direct-
ing the powers and energy of nature.” People learn a superstitious
Chinese tradition at the Feng Shui courses they pay large sums of mon-
ey to attend. This tradition is described as “arranging the décor of one’s
environment in such a way as to increase positive energy by eliminating
negative energies.” Such courses teach which talisman should be hung
where, and which charms and stones will allegedly be beneficial. For ex-
ample, it is believed that a mirror known as the Pa-kua, hung on doors,
will protect the door and the building. A small statue known as the frog
of plenty will allegedly bring material wealth. Many other superstitious
beliefs involving talismans are to be found in Feng Shui. 150
The fact is, though, that these superstitious beliefs are all deceptions. It
is impossible for any stone or charm to protect anyone or anything out-

guardian, is Almighty Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
