Khom is the Sacred Khmer Sanskrit Script used to Inscribe Incantations around, and within Sacred Yant, and is for many Sak Yant Devotees, a fascinating topic in itself. Many people wish to leanr (and indeed quite a few people have already succeeded) in learning Khom.
After various relatively failed attempts over the years to try to explain Khom Agkhara Sanskrit on the web, i have begun using some whiteboard application to try to create some content to help people to understand the grammar of spelling in Khom, and how to use it to inscribe Sacred Yant. Also to analyse the meanings and symbols within the incantations found within Yant.

I hope to step the episodes up and try to somehow formulate a series of Khom School lessons for those who are trying to figure it out. I have already done a few tentative attempts, and would like to share them with you here.
I apologize for the lack of calligraphic prowess in the above inscription tutorial, which is because the whiteboard app used does not allow for anything else but a thin even line to draw with. However, i feel that the tutorial serves it’s purpose, in allowing you to see how the spelling is performed.
In the above lesson which is primitively filmed (made ages ago), i explain floating vowels but do not mention that apart from the eight stand alone floating vowels, there are four other compound vowels in addition which are classified separately, and the mother of all vowels (Aw/Or) which is classed as a consonant. This gives us a total possible thirteen vowel sounds on Khmer Khom, but it must be said that in Sak Yant Thai Temple Tattoos, many Samnak and Kroo Ba Ajarn use ‘Thai-Khom’, which is a more complex and developed alphabet and A completely different set of grammar rules, which allow a further set of vowels to be added, such as the short ‘Oe’ vowel, and the short ‘Ae’ vowel, as well as the classic Thai ‘Ao’ vowel.
Now some Yant Analyses
And one last one with a Sacred Na Hua Jai Suea Tiger Spell i made on a bottle of Nam Man Suea Kroeng from Luang Phu Bpan.
Here is a little look into the Wai Kroo master Day ceremony, which I celebrated at my home ashram on 6 March 2557. All people who receive Sak Yant tattoos, as well as devotees of the Lersi Hermit Gods and Occult Sorcery, must according to tradition receive the laying on of the Lersi Khone Mask (Siarn Kroo), and attend or perform the Mass today ceremony which is known in Thai language as ‘Wai Kroo’.
I took advantage of the occasion for boiling all of the Amulets I have made over the last year and been empowering, to boil them in sacred oils and perfumed oils with other sacred Amulets I have collected from a host of great masters of modern and ancient times.
I must admit it was very difficult making a private master day ceremony, because one had to do all preparations, setting up, incantations and all the activities, and the clearing away of everything afterwards all by ourselves (2 people). I decided to hold it privately and unannounced in order to customise myself with self conducted performance of the ceremony, and to accustom myself to every facet, and aspect of the preparation and performing of the ceremony.
I prepared a cauldron, inscribing sacred geometry designs on the surface of it beforehand, in order to empower it with the Wicha for making See Pheung.
I used a mass of dried sacred herbs, woods, and other natural substances, as well as Amulets and elemental materials, such as Lek Lai Kaya Siddhi elemental substance, Holy treewoods, sacred rare forest flowers, powders and oils, and other kinds of amulets. These Amulets came from from an array of ordained and non-ordained masters of sorcery.
Sacred herbs and other ingredients used in the formula for the making of See Pheung through boiling in a sacred cauldron with inscription of Yantra spells in Khom Agkhara on the surface of the cauldron
Nam Man Prai, Kumarn Tong, Monk Coins, Muan Sarn Sacred Powder amulets such as Pra Somdej Luang por Toon Wat Po Nimit 2512 BE, Pra Kong Chai Chum 2512 Ajarn Chum Chai Kiree, Pra Nakprok Taep Nimit 2496 B.E. Ajarn Chum Chai Kiree, Jatukam, Por Tan bam amulets of Wat Don Sala, Yantra Foils, Ploi Sek Maha Pokasap polished Gems, Takrut, elemental substances, Wan Salika, Wan Sanaeh Jantr, Wan Nang kwak, Mai Ga Fak Rak, Fak Ga Hlong, Lersi Rosary beads, Somdej, Lersi Por Gae Dta Fai amulets, Luang Phu Tuad amulets, Lersi statuette on naga throne, Somdej Luang Por Supoj, Wishing crystals, Jing Jok gecko amulets and gecko oil, and sinjana cords from suad pan yaks ceremony from Luang Por Suton.
In truth, I cannot really remember many of the sacred items which I have gathered over the last three or four years in preparation for immersion in these oils. At first I thought I would make sacred Metta Oil, but in the end, I realised I had hoarded and stashed so many herbs from my sacred herb garden, that it outweighed the amount of available sacred oils which I had put aside for this purpose.
Hence I decided to change my strategy, and to risk the experiment of my life, which I have been thinking about and contemplating its secret methods for the last year at least. I am actually halfway through an article, about how to make the essential See Pheung Balm, which is so waxy and thick, but which i have seen distilled from a cauldron using herbs and Nam Man Prai. This video I made some months ago, shows some of the Amulets which were immersed in the Cauldron during this Wai Kroo.
I possessed 90% of the secret methods, but it was impossible to find the actual catalyst which would transform the oil into a thick paste or balm, as we see in the case of See Pheung.
The rest was already ingrained in me over years of study practice and experimentation, from the ingredients to mix and its other formulas and the sacred geometry of Buddhist Yant to be inscribed along with the Khmer Sanskrit spells upon the surface of the cauldron, before adding the oils and herbs. The incantations of the mast today were already known to me and prepared to chance to invite the celestial intelligences to attend and to lend their blessings to the ritual ceremony.
Hua Chuea See Pheung – ‘Hua Chuea’ means, The concentrated extracts or that which is skimmed off the top. This is the total resulting substance derived from the massive cauldron of herbs oils and other substances. The rest is absorbed within the sacred powder and wooden Amulets which were immersed within the Nam Man Prai and boiled up.
I cannot reveal what is the missing secret, which transforms and catalyses the formula into becoming a thick paste which we know as See Pheung. But, I can say that the outcome was successful, but also, that the high density of herbal, and other sacred ingredients, has resulted in extremely concentrated form of See Pheung, that I have decided to do what many sorcerers in Thailand will do with the substance, and dilute it, with other perfumed substances.
Inscription of magic spells upon the exterior of the candles which also possess a sacred spell inscribed within the core of the candle. The candles are made for removing negative influences in one’s line of fate, and Karma. They were created and empowered by Pra Ajarn Supasit of Wat Bang Nam Chon.
This is done, in order to make it possible to apply, and affordable to distribute. I must have invested about at least $1000 in making this cauldron of oil, whole 5 Liters of Sacred Oils, perfumes and other liquid substances of magical nature. The result, was a half litre tub of sacred See Pheung balm. From a whole cauldron full of herbs and 5 L of Sacred Oil, we have ended up with about half a kilo of extremely concentrated See Pheung.
One thing which I have forgotten to reveal until now, is the fact that I added a whole litre of Nam Man Prai Hun Payont, and A large wooden animist humanoid effigy made from Sacred Ga Fak Rak tree, bound with sinjana cords and empowered with reanimation spells by Por tan Kloi of Wat Phu Khao Tong.I made this oil some months before using the remnants of three other Nam Man Prai oils to mix together and then immerse the hun payont ghost soldier along with a goosebone yantra spell, lek lai, loads of sacred woods, herbs amd other amulets. This was poured into the cauldron to and used for empowerment.
Sacred Yantra inscription
I hope you enjoy viewing my private home ceremony and that it inspires you, and gives you ideas about how to set up your altar for such a ceremony. Of course this is not the full blown version, rather and affordable and practical, realistic ceremony for a small family at home in private.
Inscribing sacred Yantra foils on silver Takrut foil
Thee large Yantra foils were immersed to perform differing purposes.
The Amulets which were boiled in the cauldron, I’m now being laid out to dry every day until they can be encased, and I shall be distributing them to both customers of my amulet store at Thailand Amulets, and also those who interested themselves for my publications, my podcasts on soundcloud, and my YouTube channel, as well as many of my Facebook friends.
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Almost all Amulets I make a distribute for free, whereas those which were made to be solved by others, I distribute for a price for that is what purpose they were made for. The ones I make are not made for a commercial purpose, rather than to bring joy to others, nothing else.
Cauldron with Yant Long See Pheung inscription.

A small preview of some of the video documentation I am preparing for releasing as a full feature length documentary. This is still in prototype form and hopes to receive much more polish by the time I produce the final DVD.
Ancient book of spells in Lanna Sanskrit
this video and narrative was made just as I began to practice making videos, and I am now becoming more advanced in my knowledge and ability. I now hope to begin soon on making a serious documentation, of all of the ancient books of Sacred geometry which I have collected, mostly coming from the northern regions of Thailand, and written in the ancient Lanna script.
These ancient grimoires, are full of very rare, and yet unseen forms of Sacred geometry, and animist imagery. Apart from this learning to make videos has given me 1000 new ideas for how I can return to documenting and blogging about Buddha magic, amulets, anthropological documentaries, and Thai Temple tattoos.
This means a whole new depths of the way I can transmit the things I wish to publish using sound and vision and motion. Things have become boring for me with the old way of blogging, and this is why this website has had a lot less publishing done in the last year.
I can now promise, that this is going to change and that I will publish much more often, using my new approach to publishing which is through the use of multimedia such as video and podcast channels, and video tutorials on Buddha magic topics, using various videocasting apps. The topic of Buddhism and Buddhist meditation is also something with which I am very deeply involved and have been since the day of my ordination and continuously after my disrobing as a Buddhist monk.
I have been publishing about this on other websites and networks, and I shall now be referring to those sources of multimedia here often. Media, which I have created on other websites, so have decided I should link to from here in my blogs, so that you can find them you wish, and interest yourselves for those Vlogs, videos podcasts and other publications.
If you wish to see what I have been doing in my absence from the Thai Temple tatoos website, then you should visit some of my YouTube channels and my channel on sound cloud.com as well as my time but it’s amulet website and Web store.
With over 3000 amulet in that store and it amulet having hundreds of words in each write-up which tells into its making and its history and its maker you can see that I have been constantly blogging all the time and amassing a mountain of information which has never before been documented in the English language. If tatoos is not your only interest and your interests yourself for the topic of time buddhist amulets then you will find much to read on my website there at Thailand – amulets.net.
In addition, this finally opens up the path for me to begin to make video tutorials, on how to write Khom (Khmer Sanskrit), in order to understand the sacred geometry found in Thai Buddhist temple tattoos.
In fact, I have already started to do this, and published a few basic prototype tutorials, on YouTube.com.
you can visit my channel there at YouTube.com/AjarnSpencer
you can also use YouTube.com/BuddhaMagicTV
I shall be publishing a lot of them on those two channels, as well as the you tube channel for the sak yant foundation.
I hope this shorts and slightly amateur video narrative will spark your interest and that my future video publications of the logs as people like to call them, develop and entertain you as well as provide you with informative documentaries on what are my favourite topics and I hope, also yours!
Well, that’s all for now I hope this post has spiced up your entertainment of this website and new, and you can be looking forward to some new and interesting multimedia the log and blog posts as of now
Presenting my first Khmer Sanskrit Writing Tutorial Video For those few freaks who are seriously trying to figure out how to write Pasa Khom in order to be able to read and interpret the sacred Yant and Kata Spell inscriptions. I have begun making some (pretty amateur) video clips single handed with one hand with camera and the other a piece of chalk and blackboard. I hope i can refine my methods and make a professional looking video tutorial as i go along.
This Video shows how to Inscribe the first Consonant ‘Ga’ (G), and then shows how to write it with a long A vowel (Gaa)
I suppose i will find better ways to teach as i work so please be patient as i move from amateur video demonstration to develop better quality. Hopefully i will be able to post one or two videos a week here.
I shall be making a You Tube Channel just for Khom School, and will post the channel url soon for those who wish to subscribe to the Khom School You Tube Channel. In the Meantime learn how to Draw ‘Na Metta’ by watching the below video, which i made for fun as a tester.
I include the Phonetic Transposition of Khom Consonants and Vowels for reference.
First the good news.. the long wait for the availability of the printed Thai 108 yant Pitsadarn book is over. The thailand-amulets.net Publications section now stocks this Volume in A4 Print edition hard Back book. The Book is the 108 Yant Pitsadarn A4 size Edition (Thai Language) By Ajarn Urakint Wiriyaburana of the Thai Brahman Temple – a mass of authentic Yant with the correct Kata and Khom Agkhara spellings, aplication method and a Thai-Khom phonetic Key for self tuition of the Khom Scripture. The book is an Essential item for students of Sak yant and of Thai Buddhist and Occult Sacred Geometry.
Bad news now;
Save all you wish to use from this website because the hosts, hostloco.com have not only destroyed the database and made it impossible to transfer to a new server, and have exercised their right to cancel the hosting plan, meaning that end of this month will see the end of sak-yant.coms content.
I am trying to save what info i can and hope to use sakyant.org to rehost and recreate a much better and more extensive website up to modern standards, and more professionally written (i have developed better skills over the years).
UPDATE!! 3RD MARCH; I have managed to save the whole website! – the data is safe and the sak-yant.com domain is in transfer process, but the whole info (which is what is important), is now available on www.am-ulet.com/sak-yant/
This will after domain transfer become the sak-yant.com domain and the link above will disappear, to be replaced by sak-yant.com
We can all therefore sit back and relax, knowing that the info is safe, whatever the new url may be 🙂
Neutral news of interest;
I shall be appearing on 4th of March on Thai TV talking about my life as a Layperson who practices Ruesi-Ism without it being an obstacle to Lay Life. (update!! – this show was shelved in the end)
some pics are attached to this post of the interview. I am in the process of seeking land to use for building an Ashram for Ruesi-ism and Buddhist meditation and house the Sak Yant Foundation and Museum within the premises in a separate wing, and slowly build a sacred place of practice and worship, which can be left to future generations to practice Buddhism. I shall be publishing the progress of this on the new sakyant.org website which is about to be redesigned and developed. In the moment it is unsatisfactory software and i wish to recreate it so that it fits the needs of the project i am planning. I have to go through legal channels so it will be a slow process to develop the ashram at first. But once a premises are obtained and i can start building i believe things will speed up.
Update! The Woody Talkshow has been Ruled Out and will not be shown, due to interior affairs influencing the decision. The reasons are unknown and have not been stated. I myself actually prefer to talk about Dhamma and Buddhist Path of Practice more than Occult and Ruesi-Ism, which was part of the Gist of the Talkshow, to begin by giving the impression that Black magic was the main issue, but then to show that in fact, what i practice is the Buddhist Path of Vipassana Kammathana Mindfulness and Jhana Meditation, but that i like to gather and preserve and also practice on en entirely personal level, what i have come to term ‘Buddha Magic’. Buddha Magic is however, not the path which i am advertizing, rather that of the Introspective practice of Cultivating the Factors of Enlightenment.
Sak Yant, and Buddha Magic, are worldly activities/interests
The Maggha is Unworldly – literally Out of This World. The two are thus in no way related.
Bad News – After being unable to raise the reader count of Buddha Magic ezine to over 30 and 4 issues of 2 months work each issue, I have had to lay the Buddha Magic ezine on ice for a while, due to its unfeasability because of lack of readerships. This is i find a great shame and proof that the sak-yant interested peole do not interest themself enough to purchase, and only wish to see free pictures etc, but not really learn the inner secrets of Buddha Magic. This is not surprising as i find that this is a very niche topic and few people indeed will be so interested as to pay for the info. Still, Sak yant Fans have missed a lot of essential info which i shall never publish for free on the internet, and will probably stay with the few who were wise enough to read it. Issue 4 (last issue released) featured three major articles on sak yant with sak yant masters and their work/biographies in detail. Yantra designs were also included which are not on the site, and the plan was to include at least 30 pages an issue of sak yant related infos. I shall be finishing issue 5 to complete the whole series of stories and then recompile the 5 issues into one ebook, which will also go to print one day soon. Good News – In the meantime, i shall now begin work on a more extensive book on sak yant again, and will attempt to include hundreds of designs. The introduction to the subject has now been covered in book one, so the second book can go onto focusing on documenting designs and meanings, and the many Ajarns who are to be fund around the country. I have closed sales points of Buddha Magic issues 1,2 and 3, and now only sell issue four as a single issue, and the four issues as a mega pack. This may seem mean, but if o dont do this, then the 8 months of hard work in writing this ezine will not bring any noticeabvle income at all. I wish to complete my manifestation of a phsyical address for the sak yant foundation, and this ezine was part of the plans to finance the project. It is not working, but the sak yant ebook is still selling and has sold perhaps almost 300 copies now, which is also not much but at least has paid for the months it took to write.
Great News! – I have now found 100 thousand dollars which i shall be investing in the foundation and attempting to make an ashram/samnak Ruesi which will be a center of leanring and also a Headquarters for various Masters from around the country to come and guest and tattoo their looksit in the Bangkok area, and join in in ceremonies such as Wai Kroo, Shiva day..
I am now about to obtain a premises and begin phase one of the development of the sak yant and Buddha Magic preservation institute (along with the collaboration of Ajarn Thoy and Various other Ruesi and Ajarn Sak Yant from around Thailand).
The premises hopes to be a three or 4 storey building with the reception and museum of Buddha Magic below (and the office of Thailand-Amulets.net)
As a way of avoiding relying on the sacred for funds, i shall try to affix a separate modern tattoo studio adjoined to the bottom floor area (this will bring money for financing the non profit foundation). I hope then to make the seocnd floor the samnak sak and ashram where sak yant will be performed and also ceremonies and meditation sessions. Weekly Wai Por Gae sessions and Wai Pra Rahu will be held as well as Wai Taw Waes Suwann in my corner (My Lineage has Taw Waes Suwan as patron, not Por Gae Dta Fai).
A museum with many old grimoire books fo sacred yant from history and sak yant tattooing equipment, antique ceremonial paraphernalia etc.
A library of Buddhist literature in English and other languages will be accumulatesd as well a some working overtime to write and print descriptions and synopses for every item in museum and picture on the wall in the galleries for foreigners to read and understand what they are admiring 😀
Classrooms are planned to be on third floor (or in the ashram/samnak on the 2nd floor if i get a 3 floor house), with courses available in Khom Sanskrit reading and writing, and even apprenticeships in sak yant tattooing. This however is not something you can apply for easily, because you cant just pay learn and go. It is compulsory to complete and pas the Khom Sanskrit course before beginning anything to do with sak yant. This is because, if yu cant manage to learn Khom Agkhara lettering, then you can forget about tattooing sak yant.
Sorry about the next part of this post.. but sometimes it must be said. After conference with some other Ajarns, i thus write it here for the Public to read about, and hopefully comment on their views agreement or disagreement. Suggestions or requests to include things for the sak yant foundation project are also welcome in comments below this post.
Buddha Magic Mega Discount Pack – First Four Issues
$45.00
Bad News – A Farang who visited, who has been tattooing and posting pics of his Yant tattoos on facebook. I was at first supportive and encouraging, until he came to visit and wanted to meet. His idea of being a looksit meeting with the ajarn who he wanted to ask for teachings from (how to empower the Yant), entailed sending sms messages from 20 kms away in his hotel (yes this guy was asking for Wicha and expecting to drive and travel to see him – not the other way around! ) – he showed his inability to pay his dues right there. Once arrived, he didn’t even offer a glass of water but asked constantly if he could come and learn Khom and how to empower the yant.
His big eyes bulging, looked into his heart with the training recieved from the Masters, and seeing, that he had only personal fame, advantage and money through faked carreer opportunity in his heart, and there was no will or effort present to suggest he would be able to make an effort to learn the Khom Agkhara. Laughing inside, thinking.. ‘Mai Mee Panya Ai Nia’ (‘this guy has no wisdom or intuition and is full of want and no giving.’)
Telling him he must learn Khom if he wants to do Sak Yant, and that every Thai Looksit and every Ajarn Sak must do this and pay his dues. If Thai people have to pass this test and pay those dues, then how can some westerner come along and start tattooing sak yant without first learning Khom according to the Dtamnan Saiyasart Thai? Making Sacred Geometric magical inscriptions from a Lineage of Masters with absolutely no consideration, with totally wrongly written Khom Agkhara lettering. Like a blind blunderer, disrespecting the ancient tradition of apprenticeship and trying to jump past the hard work and only reap the rewards.
Commenting on his tattoos posted on the sak yant foundation wall, exposing the fact that although the tattoo he posted looked nice to someone who can’t read the lettering, but to anyone who can read Khom, the thinigs are abominations!
The person in question owns several tattoo studios – looking into his heart, seeing if not denounce this, then many will soon be making claims that they have recieved Wicha without passing the proper initiation process. This is tantamount to destroying something Ancient and Sacred.
I personally don’t approve of this kind of behaviour (not that what i think is of any importance), and wish to ask the western tattooists to refrain from tattooing any Yantra unless they can read the language. It is unfair to your customers because you are going to make a big mistake on them and insult Thai Ajarns and the Kroo deity of the Wicha. I don’t want my attempts ant opening this up to the western world to be blocked because Farang come and abuse it or disrespect it. I must get the Foundation on course and keep it true to the Dtamra (tradition). People like the person who tried to market himself as an Ajarn Sak Yant without even learning how to write the lettering is not uncommon. Be it Farang or Thai, there will always be a certain number of fake Masters around. This is why sufficient circumspection and intellect/wisdom must be applied along with common sense, when seeking an Ajarn or receiving a Sak Yant Tattoo. One thing i would really like to repeat after a long time without mentioning it; Don’t be fools and take your design to some Artist to do for you. It will be wrong, and you will regret it.
I was speaking with some other Ajarns yesterday about such weird characters and ghostlike scavengers who try to hang on Sak Yant like parasites, and all of them agreed with me that things such as this, and stories like that of person who was tattooing but cannot write Khom (lol – funny but also an offence to the Wicha – one Ajarn said to me that if the Kroo was not so full of Metta (compassion) then some of the people abusing the Wicha would be very sorry indeed, because his magic is immense majestic and overwhelming – if the Kroo of the Wicha were to punish those, there would be more than sparks flying – But the Kroo Por Gae is full of Metta, and always warns in preference to harmful response) are extremely offensive and damaging to what i am trying to achieve here. In recent times i have tried to refrain from showing my opinions, approval or disapproval of things in the sak yant world, because i am no longer just a documenter, i am also now a practitioner, and thus must refrain from commenting negatively on the topic if possible. But sometimes it is necessary to cut weeds, if not the flowers wont grow.
The aforementioned incident is one such case. I no longer get angry with such people because they are simply dumb, or perhaps only ignorant of the fact that this is not just tattoo art, rather a Sacred matter which Thai People and many other People from other countries believe in and have much reverence and faith in. so i cannot expect Dumb people to be able to behave well. I wouldn’t expect a pig to wipe his feet before entering a house so i also don’t expect a half wit to understand the rules of becoming an Ajarn Sak Yant. The process of becoming an Brahman, Ruesi, or Ajarn, is a long path of dedicated practice not inferior to many of the practices of a Monk as far as Development of Mind and the Powers is concerned, and only inferior in the sense that the true good Bhikkhu is practicing renunciation and purity until hos mind has developed the Baramee to overcome the Kilesas forever. There is no higher miracle than this, even the amazing superpowers of some great Masters cannot supercede the attainments of the Arahants.
Sak Yant Buddhist Tattoos
$40.00
Now.. on to the bombshell…..
I will announce what i believe to be the greatest news about sak yant tattoos (as far as westerners are concerned anyway) ever soon (cant reveal it yet, lots of copycats around). Something which will change the story for all those who wanted a sak yant but were too afraid to for safety reasons, and improve the prospects of the survival of sak yant in the modern age. As well as increase the amount of Westerners who come for Sak Yant.
Keep your eyes and ears open for my next announcements.. pretty soon you will all have a place to come and hang out and visit and learn about sak-yant and Buddha magic, meet the Ajarns and be able to speak wityh them (translator) and have access to both receiving magic, and leanring it. Meditation and Buddhist Dhamma practice (Vipassana) courses will also be held with visiting master monks and Ajarns to teach ( yes i will also give talks for those who want to hear). I shall preside over the Khom school and me Ajarn Thoy will be teaching other courses together. Some other Ruesi and Brahmans, Monks will visit regularly too. I am still thinking of the potential of the place and what we can do. A minibus may be good idea for outings to other wai kroos etc and to go on forest retreats etc. Sak yant Guide service may also be available because i need as many ways to find funds as possible. I dont want a little halfway thing.. i want the foundation to be as big as it deserves to be, so i have turned from being an ascetic destitute to a business man in one year flat. I still sleep on the bare floor and eat very little each day (just to stay alive – have exception days though.. i am after all still a normal person), and don’t even have tv video or sofa in my house (not even a chair). This even after receiving 100 thousand dollars funds in a windfall i am still living sparsely as always. The funds are to make the foundation. The top floor will be the home for my wife and son (and me), bercause they are giving up their dream home and living in the premises with me so i can make this dream true. I hope one day i shall be able to give them their home they need,but for now i have to make this happen because if i don’t start now, then maybe i never will.
Please make an effort to attend the Foundation Center when in Thailand – you will be able to book appointments for sak yant with various masters through the center too, commission special designs, learn Khom, learn amulet making, learn Kasina Meditation (essential for Ruesi practice and for amulet empowerment). The various possibilities are many, depending on if there is sufficient need for its implementation.
As a sideline and fund finder, i now offer the Thailand tattoo school project which will be in the modern tattoo studio section of my project and will offer courses in professional modern and hand tattooing techniques, hygiene and machine care, various techniques of shading, coloring and lining, tricks of trade etc. Anyone interested in learning to tattoo professionally can apply for a course there. I do hope to also eventually arrange special accommodation for people who come to practice or learn at the institute.
Sak Yant E Book + Buddha Magic 1 – 4 (Five Ebook Megapack save 12 Dollars)
This is a hybrid between sak yant and Thai Mythological tattoo, because it will be embellished later with agkhara and blessed once all the imagery and backgrounds are put in there and the storyline of the tattoo is completed.. Pra Ram and Totsagan will be included as well as Nang Sida. This is Majchanu, son of Hanuman and Nang Suwanna Majcha, featured in the Thai Ramakian Epic tale of Vedic lore. There is much more background and imagery to be connected, and can thus be considered ‘work in progress’. Made using single use sterile needles and autoclave sterilisation, ultrasonic cleaner etc in my Dtamnak (name for a small samnak) on Koh Lanta island in Krabi Province.
The present location is what is in the process of becoming both the home of Ramakian Tattoo studio (focusing on Hygienic tattooing of Mythological imagery and Deities from the Ramakian, Buddhism and Brahmanism), and what is soon to also host (in the back of the building) the beginnings of a dtamnak sak yant and Ashram (Ruesi). This is stage one of my attempt to initiate my project of a sak yant foundation to collect and preserve the various wicha, and provide a place of learning and practice with hopefully eventually a piece of land in the forest with some huts for those who visit to stay and practice in. A museum of sak yant and Thai occult related paraphernalia will aslo be acquired.
I am relying on the income i shall be finding through tattooing both sak yant and Thai Ramakian tattoos in hygienic conditions according to traditional ceremony to finance the rest of the projects, and do not hope to rely on donations. What is sure is that once the dtamnak is open, the Thai people will give plenty of support ti the project as well as my own contributions which i will finance with sales of the e-books and e-zines i am publishing.
Here is a more traditional looking one i did trying to acheive the fatter style of lining for an adaptation of Yant Ha Taew which was forced to be made square instead of oblong (rectangular) which left l;ittle room for the Unalome, but i managed to fit it all in in the small space somehow. The Kata is abbreviated but contains the same meaning and power as the extended version. I still have a lot to practice with freehand sak yant and this tattoo has assisted me much in investigating the difference between using bold and fine line techniques
This is Yant Paya Dtao Ruean – i made it a couple of weeks ago in my Samnak on Koh Lanta
I used the design from lineage of LP Tong Sukh for the design, i like the composition of this design better than the LT Hliw one for tattooing at least.
Made in the samnak (in the making) which i am developing on Koh Lanta. This is defintitely a hygienic sak yant tattoo made using autoclaave sterilisation and new needles. We made some meditation before and i mixed the ink with some metta oil and the prayer water collected from 381 temples. Ongkorn Kroo was chanted (calling the 108 Ruesi , Buddhas and Deities to form a crystal wall of protection around the wearer of the Yant), and katas were blown into the tattoo during the whole period of tattooing.
The sacred Na designs around the Yant are freehanded in.
Samnak sak yant Por Taw Guwen is in the making…
Yesterday i tattooed majchanu (not yet blessed) and will post pics soon – the Majchanu was part of an ongoing project using machine tattooing to make Ramayana Mythological deities and imagery into a story which will then be embellished with some Khom Agkhara and blessed.
Why i’m trying to make money and what are my Plans;
Funds i raise through sales of emags i write, amulets i distribute or make and rent, or tattoos i make, are going to help to pay for the creation of a samnak and place with meditation huts for visitors to come and learn and practice in.. its a long project. I have the help of LP Dte abbot of wat pah maha chanok and LP song chai abbot of Wat Koh Lanta to plan to find a way for foreigners to come and practice Vipassana., and this is one of the projects i wish to incorporate into the sak yant foundation project and the creation of my ashram ruesi Por Taw Guwen (Taw Waes Suwann).
Objectives;.
Sak yant should help us to practice the dhamma – therefore meditation will be held before every day of opening the samnak, and monks wil regularly visit to give dhamma teachings. The samnak will always begin with looksit and kroo meditating and say some prayers before starting the events of the day
amulets should help us t practice the dhamma, and not become an object of greed – they shold remind us to keep precepts.
Amulet making methoids and formulas will be collected and gathered for preservation.
Khom Agkhara should be taught, as well as sak yant and amulet making.
sak yant should be hygienic but remain ceremonial and traditional as far as the ritual and blessings are concerned, rules of wearing yant etc.
I wish to make a sak yant and Buddha Magic museum, which i am finding very old and rare objects to place in it, but need to find money for buying them to make a real museum with definitive examples of historical paraphernalia.
I also am opening a tattoo studio in the front which centers on Traditional Thai Mythological imagery.
