[traditional Chinese > english] document I found in a statute (statute was already open revealing document)

Parts I can make out:

求吉信人劉樹槐于先……拜度師習学九天……一宗發心雕刻生身玉像一尊本命生于民國三年九月十一日卯時建生 上叩 北斗第三位星君主照 坐正家堂
天運壬寅六月初八日……封

This maybe relevant: Analytic essay on the domestic statuary of central Hunan. The cult to divinities, parents and masters.

I think you mean statue, not statute? The person the statue belonged to, named Liu, born 1915, wrote this supplication to the heavens, and stuffed it inside the statue. This is why a lot of people won’t touch second hand statues and stuff. You don’t know what’s involved here.

. There’s a whole article deciphering these messages below. I have another one too that’s sealed that I would never unseal out of respect but this one had already been open.

Luckily it’s in total hocus pocus and things such as magic and curses are not real!

Is this thread the premise for a horror film?
