What god should I use for ancestor money burning offering?

When performing ancestor money burning offerings, the primary deity often associated with receiving and managing these offerings in the afterlife is the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor, also known as the Jade Lord, Great Emperor Jade, or The Highest Emperor, is a prominent figure in the Taoist Pantheon and is considered the god who controls the world's money. In some traditions, he is seen as the successor to Yuanshi Tianzun, the Divine-Master of the Heavenly-Origin, who was the supreme being and creator. In Korean culture, he is known as Haneullim, and in Buddhist communities, as Sakra. When ancestor money is burned, a green flame is often observed, which is believed to signal that the offering has been accepted by the Jade Emperor. A brighter and larger green flame is interpreted as a sign of greater acceptance and happiness from the ancestors.

While the Jade Emperor is the central figure for managing the flow of "money" in the spirit world, other deities may also be invoked or associated with specific types of offerings or intentions:

• Yanluo Wang: Also known as Yama, Yanluo Wang is the King of Hell. Offerings, including Hell Bank Notes, are sometimes given as a bribe to Yanluo Wang to ensure a shorter stay in the underworld or to help ancestors escape punishment.

• MahaLakshmi: Some specialized ancestor money notes, such as the "MahaLakshmi – Ancestral Lineage Custodian" note, are designed to align the user with MahaLakshmi, a goddess of beauty, love, and wealth, to help ancestors achieve higher states in the afterlife

• Lord Shiva and Lord Thoth: Certain elaborate notes, like the "Lord Shiva – Godgahlahgong note," are described as collaborative efforts between Lord Shiva (the Destroyer) and Lord Thoth, carrying immense power to transmit light and fulfill desires when rituals are performed with full intention.

• Kwan Yin, Auset, Sekhmet, Kubera, and Buddha: Various other specialized "Galighticus Ancestor Notes" are associated with these deities, each designed for specific purposes such as divine offerings, ancestral reconciliation, or power.

It's important to note that different types of spirit money are traditionally given to distinct categories of spirits. Gold Joss papers (jin) are primarily offered to Deities like the Jade Emperor, while silver Joss paper (yin) is given to ancestral spirits and other spirits. Cash monies are typically for newly deceased spirits and spirits of the unknown.. The precise distinction between these categories is crucial to avoid confusing or insulting the spirits.
