Gardener And Conjuror (园丁与魔唤师)

A gardener may not be a conjuror who calls up spirits, but a good conjuror should also be a gardener.

I am not the first one who has this idea. For one thing, I like to plant herbs and I also perform conjurations.

It appears that the God likes gardeners very much. According to the Bible, Genesis 2:15: The Lord God took the man (Adam) and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.

Adam's son, Cane was also a gardener.

King Solomon likes plants a lot and he has a garden full of herbs such as frankincense, myrrh, anise, mustard, garlic, onions, grapes, wormwood and etc.

So, it is apparently that to please God so that a conjuror can summon His messengers, he/she naturally must like plants and preferably before a conjuror picks up the 'Seal of Solomon', he/she should have at least a few herbs of the Bible growing nicely.

Although we can buy frankincense and myrrh in the open market, but if we harvest those materials from our own garden and conjure an angel in the middle of holy balsam trees; I have no doubt holy spirits of some status will come.

Likewise, if a archan (Thai master) does not like plants, then he/she will not be able to attract more powerful spirits of the nature. According to my experience, mountainous spirits feel more at home and calm within various herbal plants.

Generally speaking, spirits of higher classes like aromatic plants such as agarwood, sandalwood, myrrh, frankincense, jasmine, ylang-ylang and etc. While spirits of lower classes will be attracted by foul smell or rotten flesh, blood or even shit. So, if the place where conjuration takes place has no fragrance plants and it is near an slaughterhouse; low class blood thirst beings will no doubt come.

Similar in Taoism, the resting places of immortals and Taoist temples are planted with pine and cypress trees. Taoists are normally plant lovers too. They like to plant many herbal plants and flowering plants to heal and also to aid in their spiritual practice.

In short, it is safe to say that if a magician does not like gardening but he/she only cares about money and worldly matters; he is either a phony imposter or he does not know what he/she is doing. That is the reason why I insist that practices like Phra Ngan is not real and it only satisfies one's sexual fantasy. 

Obviously, if you don't like gardening, then you are not a good magician and it will be difficult to connect with the messengers of God and spirits of higher status. Think about it...
