Hi Please be free to answer this My wife is into black magic and i really dont know what to do We live in issan. Her daughter has this cat that had kittens and they were still born, So next morning when i was cleaning up the house i saw this 2 things sitting in basket My step daughter being so lazy and i am always cleaning up behind her. I thought she been eating squid and was to lazy to clean up as usual. So i threw what i thought was the squid to the dogs. When the wife woke she said to me where are the things in the basket I said Oh you mean the squid that your daughter left behind No they were not squid they were the kittens that were still born My wife was taking them to the  Buddha monks for good luck Other words black magic Oh we got into a terrible row over it How sickening Any ideas how I can handle this situation I dont like it Its total <deleted>

Note, the above post was originally made in this very old topic https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/29616-black-magic/

 

Split out to avoid confusion.

 

That's a weird start to my day !!

 

My wife doesn't feed dead kittens to monks but she definitely knows things...

I had to check my phone for bugs/spyware the other week, as I'm sure she must have tapped it to know the things she does??

Go with your wife to the Temple and confess your "sin" to the Buddhist monk...it is not black magic...it IS a different culture and religion...give the monk a couple thousand baht and let him bless you and your wife's union...

 

If none of this appeals to you...go to plan "B"...

That is not quite black magic, I don't think - - monks are mostly ok - but I assume you have other examples of things you don't like? Many religions have some sort of creepy aspects to me... but, you didn't know abt any of this before you got married? 

repent sinner, and know that the hybrid animist-buddhist theory

has eclipsed modern physics in hacking time travel,

this is our best shot at getting information from the future,

which among other things can tell the upcoming lottery numbers

In reality is it actually hurting you? Just let her get on with her beliefs and all will be peace and love. We read all the time about locals praying to (usually stillborn) deformed creatures for lotto numbers and the like, crazy but relatively harmless.

 

Of course, if you find a familiar looking wax effigy with needles sticking out then all bets are off (I know that's Voodoo but I'll bet there's a local version).

Not black magic but Buddhism. For Buddhists,  animals are almost (or at least?) as important as people. Dead people are also brought to the temple for burning,  so why not do the same with animals and pray for better luck next time...

 

Remember,  this IS a different culture and religion that even after years is difficult to grasp. My wife doesn't let me kill a mouse when I catch one, I have to bring the beast to a far off field and let it go...

This is simply a case of Animism combining with Buddhism, and nothing really to worry about; it occurs all over the world on a regular basis with many religions.

 

I lived for years in rural Indonesia and saw this kind of thing all the time. Once, I rented a house and had my friends/colleagues, the Catholic Monks (in full, long, white robes), sacrifice a chicken for me and smear its blood in the four corners of my house to 'protect' me. No one blinked an eye.

 

I would also remind you that Western religions aren't exactly... er... normal either. Christians ceremoniously eat the body of Christ (cannibalism) and ceremoniously drink his blood (perhaps cannibalism again, but at least a bit creepy) every Sunday to show their devotion. Is that any less weird?

 

Ignore it or learn about it, but don't worry about it.

My wife as placid as she is, is the total opposite, just ask any snake that enters our property.

 

Her religion is buddhism, but she also has her own mind and will tell a few monks to move along if they are not from our village, when I enquired why she didn't give them something, she said they are not from around here, they have hands and feet, they can work, but choose to beg off those who have very little, (neighbours).

 

Just a few weeks ago, I tried to stop her from killing this 1.5 metre snake in our laundry which had a go at one of the boys trying to do his washing, no doubt the snake felt threatened as this clown likes to sing (terrible voice) and dance, teenagers, you know the type, anyway, he yelled snake and she turned into this ferocious, fearless mad dog, she ended up winning because she said, if you think I will allow a snake to bit my children, in our home, think again, when in Thailand, do as I do, remember when I was in your homeland, and you would say, do as I do.

 

Can't argue with the girl, she could have allowed the snake to exit and go on it's merry way as I suggested, NOPE, it will come back.

 

So in 5 years, the sad score for the snakes goes like this: Wife, 3 or 4, Snakes 0, moral of the story, 4 kids safe, can't argue with that.

 

I have to say, I feel for the snakes, but am glad my wife has the balls, "so to speak" to challenge them and take them out without thinking twice, guess, I'm a softy when it comes to creatures.

Or old pagan rituals under a new guise IE The Christmas Tree. 

 

I do know of a family that went to a spirit whatever to contact a dead son and find out who killed him. Yep that still happens around here, more than you would know.  YUCK.

Thai version,

Usually a cloth bag full of 'stuff' hidden in your pillow slip or under the mattress where you sleep.

The one I like least is the Bar girls (et al) adding menstrual blood to your drink to keep you coming back.

(finger themselves then dip finger in your drink when you're not looking, that belief is quite widespread) 

God bless f$&@ soi dogs and stray cats ????

Made a mistake of visiting Walking street during daylight before opening hours one time and saw bargirls butt naked walking backwards from back of the bar to the street and threw a bucket of water between her thighs out on the street, asked around and it apparently help brings in the customers

It'd probably get her more customers if she did it when the bar was open.

(depending on her age and size of course)

This one is quite common in many cultures. Menstral blood, a bit of Monk Magic and a drop in your beer glass. Thirty odd years ago my Thai wife, after 3 years, says "I want you to know I did not use any magic"  "Huh?" I replied. Then she explained. Years later I was living in East Java and related that story to a woman and she said " Yes, what is the problem? , she did not use the magic?" . They have a similar practice. I 'believe' this is common in 3rd world countries the world over. I am amazed at most Westerners with long time Thai wives who do not know the name of the family  'pee' ghost. Each 'pee' tells a lot about the family. Do they want power, happiness etc.. Of course it is similar to christians....quite fascinating. Hold your opinions to yourself....but nuttier than a fruitcake ????
