Introduction To Ngai Ritual



 
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.

Make Or Break With Casuarina (木麻黃)



 
What do you think a Beach Oak can do other than provide shades for beach picnikers?
 
 
Casuarina Equisetifolia or commonly known as Beach Oak can be found in many places in China, Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa and even USA. Not many people realize that this common plant also has its use in love and break magic.

 

First, to cast the love magic:

 

·         Purchase a pair of new scissors.

·         Cut a length of Casuarina Equisetifolia twig and further cut this branch into 6 sub-sections.

·         After that wrap the branch pieces with a piece of black cloth.

·         Go near to the sea or river bank, recite mantra 49 times then say the name of the person you intend to charm to empower the twig.

·         Take one section for him/her to step over, or soak into water to drink or bath.

·         Your target will fall in love with you in good time.

 

Second, to cast the break magic:

 

·         Get a pair of new scissors.

·         Go to the tree after 4pm and cut a length of twig. Further cut the twig into 7 small pieces.

·         Wrap the pieces with a black cloth and bring them to a river bank.

·         Throw the twig pieces into the flowing water one by one while calling his/her name.

·         Your target will leave you in good time.

 

I would like to put forward a very gentle reminder that adequate protection must be exercised before tempting this ritual or harm may come to the ritual caster.

Phra Ngang Vs Lady Wanthong


 
Statue of Lady Nang Phim (Wanthong)

 
The amulet of Lady Nang Phim
 
 
You will never believe what happened to me last night.

 

First, a friend sent me many Kumanthong statues … a total of ten pieces plus a piece of Arjarn Perm’s special Phra Ngang and Lady Wanthong or also known as Nang Phim amulet. We all know that Wanthong is the mother of Kumanthong and Kun Pean is the father. Well, I will just let you google the net to find out more about Lady Wanthong.

 

Back to the story … So I happily unpacked the parcel and carefully arranged all statues and amulets onto my altar. Looked pretty impressive I thought. After that I lighted some incense and prayed to the mother to watch over her children as I don’t want mischievous children to be in my house. What’s so special about all this you think? Hold your horses; let me come to the second part of the story.

 

Just yesterday afternoon, my old time sailor pal from Johor Bahru came to visit me. He said that he wasn’t married for that day (being out of sight of his wife) as he traveled alone. So what else? We both went out for Penang downtown bar hopping and ‘special’ massaging. Yeah… you guessed it right, we brought the special Phra Ngang and the Nam Man Prai Oil out too! Hmm… just want to test out their powers so to speak ;-).

 

As we were ready to go out at around 6pm, a swallow flew into my balcony four times, and on the final time; it suddenly dropped in front of me as if giving me a Tibetan style prostration! After that the swallow stared at me and then flipped its wings and flew off. Pretty interesting don’t you think so? I don’t know if it is the power of Phra Ngang or something else. Whatever the case was, we did enjoy our night out and only returned to my apartment with two dozen can of beers to continue the drinking session in front of my altar until we were so drunk that we slept there until I got this very strange dream in the morning …

 

In the dream, I saw many children moving my pal, all the beers, female masseurs, ladies away … as I stared transfixed with amazement, a very pretty lady in Thai costume came to me and said: “You shouldn’t do that type of things, they're extremely bad for the children and the lady doesn’t like them at all. A decent girl will come to you if you promise to stay away from those sinful things …”



Interesting enough, I found my pal who were supposed to be lying beside me intoxicated by the alcohol, somehow inside the toilet. And when I woke him up; the first thing he said to me was: "I saw many children pushing me to the toilet! Maybe I'm too old to have a mug too many already.. Hahaha.."

 

Frankly, I don’t know if it was my alcohol effect or something else; but I do know that Lady Wanthong and Phra Ngang don’t mix well! What do you think folks? Do I follow Phra Ngang's way ... or do I follow Lady Wanthong's ;-)??

The Powerful Thunder Stone (Batu Petir)


 
So you think think stone is black in colour?

 
Think again! It is blue!
 
 
There are many types of thunder stones, but majority of them are black in colour. Some say that there are some metallic substances in these stones. Sometimes these stones are found in fragments due to the lightning strike.

 

It is said that the thunder stones are found in two conditions:

 

·         During raining

·         During dry season

 

Some people say that the thunder stones can be subdivided into male and female. The male will be black and the female will be white in colour. Some even attest to it that the stones found in the rain are the best ones. But I don’t think anyone will search for a stone in rainy days though (or he/she may be strike by the lightning!)

 

How to differentiate if it is a real or fake?

 

Well, the authentic thunder stone possesses a burnt smell. The wearer of this stone will feel his or her hands heavy and ring finger numb or ache as if there is electric charge. However, if the energy of the stone is already attuned with the owner, then this person will feel as if the ring finger is empty (vanished)!

 

It is said that the one who wears a thunder stone can move as swift as a lightning. The thunder stone is also said to possess power to exorcise spirits and distance punching. I have a friend who put his thunder stone together with his other mustika pearls. The next day, he found all his mustika pearls scattered across the floor as if hit by a lightning… except the thunder stone of course.

 

Marrying To A Banana Spirit



 
Photo from Cambodian Ghost Banana Tree movie.
 
 
This is a ritual narrated to me by a friend from Vietnam.

 

Banana spirit is known to exist in many Southeast Asian cultures. In Thai magic, it is known as Phi Phop and it is believed that Phi Phop can bestow the practitioner with fortune and magical power. The Chinese also has a set of ritual meant to get fun with the banana spirit or ask for favor. Below ritual is somehow new to me. So I just described as it is and hopefully to draw more elaboration from the wise.

 

The main purpose for carrying out this ritual is to achieve invulnerability and good life. The prerequisite is that you must first be a single person and once you are married to a banana spirit, you can never marry again. If you break this taboo, then you will have to bear for the consequences.

 

First, you must prepare a banana plant. Then you must take care of it carefully every day: water it, talk to it and even sleep with it. The idea is to get as close as possible to the banana plant as if it is your wife.

 

You must do the ritual consistently until the banana plant flowers.

 

Now, choose a full moon night, tie the end of a red string on the banana blossom while the other end onto your ring finger. Cut the banana blossom and bring it together with some incense, candles and food offerings to a sea, lake or river. Now, you must swear to heaven and earth that you and the banana plant will live and die together as if a pair of real human couples.

 

After the ritual, throw the banana blossom and offerings into the water and let it flow away signifying that the gods and goddesses have accepted your union. What left now for you is to take very good care of the banana plant. Whatever you do, don’t let the banana die.

 

It is said that the practitioner of this ritual can fight like no man fight and when he feels tired. He only needs to lay flat onto the ground and he will recover almost immediately. Personally I think this Vietnamese ritual is somehow similar to marriage to spirits for wealth:

 


 

Needless to remind you, practice this ritual at your own risks!

Aloha Orb From Hawaii


The above is a very recent photo of orb sent to me by a friend from Hawaii. This is said to be the first of the kind foto in my pal's building after trying evoking five brothers to watch over his shop. I never know the 5 brothers can travel across the ocean to Australia and now to Hawaii too. Pretty interesting don't you think so?

See if you can spot any thing inside this foto?  ;-)

Bathwater Love Magic


Our bathwater have many uses in the hands of a pawang. On one hand, our bathwater can be used to tame our spouse; on the other it can be used in love magic. Below is one such love magic making use of our bathwater.

 

The procedure:

 

·         Prepare a bowl of bathwater and a ring or anything that you want to give to your target to wear.

·         Light a white candle and some Benzoic incense.

·         Pour the bathwater into an earth container.

·         After that throw the ring into the bathwater.

·         Cup both of your palms over the container and recite something like: “I am empowering this ring as a present to the one I love. When she wears my ring, she will fall in love with me…”

·         After reciting the above mantra for 7 times, bring the container outside of your house.

·         Strike to break the container with a parang or a sword.

·         Give the ring to your target and she will fall in love with you.
