 Karma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Buddhist sutras explain that in order to generate liberating karma, we must first develop incredibly powerful concentration, and proper insight into the (un)reality of samsara.
When Buddhists talk about karma, they are normally referring to karma/action that is 'tainted' with ignorance - karma that continues to ensure that the being remains in the everlasting cycle of

In the 9 o'clock position is the Titan, or Demi-god Realm, which is inhabited by people similar to the Devas in power, but with less spiritual development and more craving.
This is the Realm which offers the greatest opportunity and motivation for progress toward enlightenment, so some regard it as the Realm of choice for serious seekers -- not that you can "choose" it per se.
It should be immediately clear that these five gatis, though sometimes misleadingly referred to as "realms", are not always spatially distinct, for men and animals (and to some extent devas and petas) can and do all co-exist within the same region, namely on the earth's surface.

 Gohonzon Shu: Dr. Jacquie Stone on the Object of Worship
Below them, in the next row, are representatives of the bodhisattvas who are followers of the Buddha of the provisional and trace teachings, such as Fugen (Samantabhadra) and Monju (Manjusri), and the great voice hearers, Sariputra and Maudgalyayana, flanked by the Buddhist tutelary deities Brahma and Indra, and King Mara of the deva realm.
In including such figures, Nichiren followed not the text of Lotus Sutra itself--in which all beings in the six realms of transmigration are removed before the jeweled stupa is opened--but the principle of three thousand realms in one thought-moment, according to which even the Buddha realm contains the nine unenlightened states.
In lower rows still are representatives of the six realms: the devas of the sun, moon, and stars, King Ajatasatru, the wheel turning king, the asura king, the dragon king, the raksasa Kishimojin (Hariti) and her ten daughters, and the Buddha's cousin and traitorous disciple Devadatta.

The contact is most easiest on places of power where leylines come together, en is the best time of the day during sunset, although interaction with Deva’s also were possible on other places and times.

In later years, the occasion has come to be observed mainly by small children, who go from house to house, often in costume, demanding “trick or treat”…”
Interestingly Mercury is the prankster and is the highest or ‘hierarchical’ ruler of Scorpio, yet seems to come through in his ‘trick or treat’ mode.
