Hm... I guess I can't say it's actually communicating, but they respond in their way and I can respond back. Most cursed spirits don't vocalize clear thoughts, instead clinging onto negative aspects from their birth.
Objectively, it's an ugly experience, especially since they will attack you.
Hmmm... I would say most of us are Shinto-Buddhist which is related to our practice, but how onmyouji were treated changed from being divinators to almost god-like figures or something like that.
We don't read the stars anymore. Our main job is to exorcise cursed spirits.
[ Tilts his head. ]
Is it that interesting when none of this is important or relevant to you or where we are?

That's kind of rude, but what are thoughts if they don't become actionable.
