A Yant for capturing Ngai spirit
I was lucky
to learn about this mysterious Vietnamese and Thai Ngai ritual. So I can only
share the outline of this ritual to you. Since this is a dangerous ritual to
begin with, I will leave out the details for now: In the respect of the Ngai
master who has taught me this technique and for your safety reasons.
First, one
must already a follower of any of the magical systems: Thai, Vietnamese,
Laotian or Taoist magic. It would be to one’s advantage if he/she has a
connection to mountainous spirits or has 5 legionnaire armies to command.
Although Ngai plants can be cultivated; they are best to be collected from deep
jungle.
We have
seen some information about Ngai plant in:
Now, let us
assume that we already identified a wild Ngai plant for our own use. We must
get some soils from cemetery or a haunted place and empower the soil for 7
days. After that we should request permission from our lineage masters and then
we will raise our 5 legionnaire armies so as to capture the Ngai spirit.
Once we are
at the Ngai plant, we must make offerings to the mountain spirits to ask for
their help in capturing the Ngai spirit. Normally we would take 4 spikes and
secure the 4 corners of the plant and then encircle the compound with a piece
of white string. The next step is to lock the Ngai spirit so that it would not
escape through the soil. A Yant is burnt before the Ngai plant is dug up as
this will prevent the spirit from attacking us and to pacify the earth gnome
watching the area.
After the
Ngai plant is uprooted, it is wrapped with a piece of black cloth with an Ngai
Yant to capture the Ngai spirit. Now we are ready to return to our altar for
further empowerment rituals. Before leaving the place, we should block the Ngai
spirit from the watchful eyes of the heavenly gods and goddesses by drawing a
Yant at the sky. It is said that the Ngai master may be struck by lightning if
he does not follow this step.
The next
step in Ngai magic is to empower Ngai plant in the altar for 7 or 49 days with burning
more Yants and the plant will be blown breaths taken from all 5 directions.
During the empowerment period, Ngai spirits will be summoned every day so as to
attune to the master. If the Ngai ritual is successful, the plant consumes only
water and chicken eggs. At advance level, some Ngai master would feed their
Ngai plants with live chicken or other live stocks.
So what can
an Ngai plant do? Believers say that Ngai can do almost anything: from love
magic to killing of enemies. Other than that, Ngai can also bring in fortune
and protect its owners.
Ngai spirits
are dangerous in that they have masses and if the master failed to control
his/her plants, and then he/she will be consumed by his/her plants. Most
protective rituals are powerless against Ngai because it moves through the
ground and consumes life force silently. It is believed that a good Ngai master can
control up to 25 Ngai plants.
