soalbundy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 My wife's friend who lives in Chiang Mai, we live in Isaan, rang her up one day and told her that she had dreamed of something evil happening to her. She is very superstitious so off we went to a hermit monk who lives in a small hut in the hills near the boarder, he is very popular and is often visited by the people in our area. He impressed me, very casual, he just asked the wife,"What's up now". She explained and he took her gold necklace and mine and placed them in a bowl of blessed water, he sat for about 10 minuets seemingly in trance then told the wife she has something evil in the house which has been brought in by her two daughters, then aged 10 and 5. We drove back home and she thought and thought and eventually went to a photo in a frame of her two daughters that had been given to them recently by her ex husband. She took the photo from the frame and on the back were written ancient runes as a curse that she should die a painful death. She informed the monk who told her to burn it while praying. Since then i have become a little superstitious myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FinickyOne Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 A curse is just words - and it can only work when people believe it. I have seen it used in many different ways here - the ghost knocked the drunk guy off the motorcycle... which can be used to make the fellow feel less responsible for poor judgment. But superstitions exist everywhere and have for a long time... sometimes they are even sensical - like not walking under a ladder and sometimes non-sensical. Every culture has customs and beliefs and holidays etc... it is big business. sensical: go with the flow, you can't fight city hall. you are not likely to change your wife's beliefs. And why would anyone get a haircut on Wednesday in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydee Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 That is really sad and I sympathize with you, these ingrained belief systems can be easily abused by nasty bastards. Perhaps if you went to a respected monk such as an abbot or senior monk, even taking her to a particularly holy Wat they may be able to help with a blessing or suggesting buying her an auspicious talisman. There are many fine learned Buddhist monks who should be able to help you. I don't think that protesting the stupidity of it all is going to help matters, a justifiable as it might be. It will only alienate you wife who sounds like a gentle caring person . I do empathize though as I was brought up in an Irish Catholic environment where eternal damnation was the price of the most human of failings, guilt trips were the norm. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindMagician Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Your point? Just sharing stories...or what? Here's one: I once saw a car slow down, coincidentally at the same time when some green light turned off and an orange light turned on....the spirits must have been sending me a message. Doni understand correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMagician Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Everyone one has certain beliefs, not just Thais.. Does it bother u, is it costing you money.. My wife has hers, I just got with the flow, ain't hurting me.. It may not cause direct immediate affect hurt to an individual, but it does have a waybof piling up the indirect cause and effect hurt on society at large. It's an indicator of intelligence, like it or not, and does have a negative impact...sorry to say.

I met a big older Hippy like American fortune teller with some amulets and things on he's neck, several times on the road from Jog Jakarta, Penang, koh Samui, Chiang Mai, and other places...(The Hippy trail) he used to impress people by telling about there lives and problems....Until one of my friends saw him in Samui in a dark corner of a bar while some Farangs were talking about there lives and problems on the counter. the next day he was talking to one of those guys and the guy was very surprised that everything he said about he's life was spot on....that's just the way he made he's money...saw him a few more times over a couple years and then never again...

dick dasterdly Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Other peoples' stupid superstitions are unlikely to harm us - unless we are stupid enough to pay for them ! As off road pat points out, some people are skilled at working out what bothers their punters, and this is their way of making a living. I'm still 'superstitious' enough not to walk under a ladder though - but mainly because I don't want to be hit by something dropped by the person at the top of the ladder!

You're totally right, but then you mentioned Dawkins as though you think he's not also having a laugh---i.e. you think he's being serious, and trust me, he's not.T he point you've missed is that whilst they're not very clever, they believe that their local witch doctor would have the brains to do the spells correctly, when they all know it's not many Thais who can pull anything off whatever it is without making a mess of i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is well educated and absolutely not superstitious, and needer am I, but she tells me some stories from her families that are absolutely amazing.... this one happened to my father in law, in the middle of land ownership intrigues...My father in law was working on he's land when he found a broken alms bows berried into he's land (meant to be found) this is something done by somebody that wishes you bad luck..he tried to retrieve it to bring back to the temple to brake the spell. He broke a small shovel trying to retrieve it. He put the broken shovel peace into he's left Breast pocket in front of he's heart. while going to the temple to bring back the broken alms bowl , somebody well hidden shot at him...the bullet hit the broken shovel in he's breast pocket....witch saved him...lucky for him, only one bullet was shot...but the land dispute intrigues continued...!!!
