Bakushi

The Bakushi is a benevolent spirit that dwells along forgotten paths and in abandon villages. It acts as a shepherd of lost souls, gathering them  in droves as it ferries them to the land of the dead.
Seeing a Bakushi is considered a good Oman as the spirit guides lost travelers along with it's lantern and wards off evil with it's light.
 it is also said that each night the Bakushi passes through village to village and devours  any evil spirit and the nightmares of those who sleep.



Hope you enjoy. ^-^
