“A shrine to the protective spirit of a place.”
Most houses and businesses in Thailand have a spirit house placed on the property. Kind of like a miniature temple. TO PROVIDE A SHELTER FOR SPIRITS THAT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS IF NOT APPEASED. A bottle of red Fanta is usually included to represent blood/sacrifice.
This practice inspired me to create a “spirit room” in Bangkok’s abandoned Ghost Tower. Because maybe the tower’s ghosts didn’t need appeased but I did and was projecting.
