Back in 2017 I leased a Chevy Volt, a plug-in electric hybrid sedan, and took it to Rev. Kenjo Igarashi at the Sacramento Nichiren Buddhist Church and had him purify and protect the car. Now three years later I’ve traded in the Volt for an all-electric Bolt and returned to get my auto insurance renewed.
The ritual involves prayers and purification and a boundary spell made with rice, salt, water and saki. An omamori amulet hangs from the steering wheel.
