Spooky Singapore: Sunset at Bukit Brown Cemetery

The Chinese consider long life a blessing, but they are equally preoccupied with death. Since ancient times, burial grounds have been selected with great care as the well-being of the dead affects the fortunes of their descendants.

Chinese believe that all life emanates from the mountains and therefore it is not surprising that in the past most of the hillocks in Singapore were littered with “horse shoe” shaped tombs. Alas, many have had to give way to urban redevelopment.

With the upcoming Qing Ming Festival in mind, learn about traditional Chinese customs relating to death rituals, funerals, burials and ancestor worship.

At dusk, ‘the gloaming’ , Dani will take you into the world of spirits and the significance of cemeteries in magical arts. We will explore the perspectives that cemeteries are not only resting places of the dead, but vibrant energy zones that are typically used for spell-casting for money, love and abundance. We will cover the magical rules of engagement, well known superstitions and what to do and what not to do, the tradition of cemetery guardians and which type of cemeteries best support magical workings.

This promises to be both spooky, informative and perspective shifting as we bring life and laughter into a place which exists in every community and city on the planet and which is often perceived to be dark and gloomy. What you will find is quite the opposite!
