THIRD TOUR OF PRISON OF POISONOUS BEES

Deities, through the services of mediums and planchette writing aim at helping and sympathising with the troubles of human beings, but some mediums outwardly say that they want to cultivate morality by helping people but have ulterior motive to get money. They do not cultivate morality and their misdeeds are regarded as grave sins.

There are some physiognomists who praise themselves by advertising the correctness of their interpretations, they fleece their customers of hard earned money. When such people die, their souls will be severely punished in Hades and reborn as birds in lonely valleys.

The bees instead of producing honey, they inject poison into the bodies of sinful souls. When on earth these souls had so many sweet things, they now have to taste some bitterness in Hades. When stung, run about the whole place trying to escape but there is no place to go.

A case of a medium of a temple

At first deities borrowed the body as a medium and successful in curing a lot of cases which doctors cannot solve.

Some cases when deity not enter into the body, the Medium pretended to enter into a trance and bluffing the devotees that devil had disturbing them and had to be appeased. The devotees told to buy joss paper and pay few thousand dollars for Medium to pray. With this practices, able to buy big houses.
