Spells & Sigils: The Magic & Mastery of Thai Sacred Tattoos | Joe Cummings | TEDxChiangMai

- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2016
- Drawing on the research for his book “Sacred Tattoos of Thailand: Exploring the Magic, Masters and Mystery of Sak Yan” (2012), writer Joe Cummings provides insights into the ancient traditions of the sacred tattoo art practiced in Thailand, covering the historical background of tattoos, their cultural and religious significance through the ages, their more esoteric role in the spiritual traditions, and their modern day resurgence in popularity. His research helped him understand the links between sacred tattoos, Buddhism and Thai culture. Thai tattoos have a deeper meaning than being works of art. They confer protection but it is the wearer's personal morality that sustains their powers. This talk is in English. www.tedxchiangmai.com
Joe Cummings was born in New Orleans and raised in California, France and Washington, DC. An interest in Buddhism drew Joe to Thailand, where he taught English before returning to the US to earn a master's degree in South Asian Civilization at the University of California at Berkeley. His Lonely Planet Thailand guide, first published in 1982, remains one of the bestselling guidebooks ever published. Reference books he has written include “Sacred Tattoos of Thailand”, “Buddhist Stupas in Asia”, “Buddhist Temples of Thailand”, “Burmese Art, Design & Architecture”, “Muay Thai”, and “Lanna Renaissance.” Joe’s honours include the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Gold Award (twice) and Mexico's Pluma de Plata (Silver Quill) for outstanding foreign journalism on Mexico.

I use my tattoos in prayer. Very powerful.
Pardon my question, How is it very powerful..? In which way?
Yes, please expand on this :~)
I don't know which tattoo/s you meant is.
I'm from around that thai/burma areas, tattoos from there are spells and some kind of white good magic for good luck also protections.
The spells tattoos is powerful only when the person must follow some of dos/donts in their life. Don't worry, those tattoos will never ever work like Harry Potter.
I never knew about any of this. Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.
My wife is from SouthEast Asia
Can't wait to show her this
Very informative

@@atarii_ak8609 I’m a tattoo artist and created my own for protection, self love, and self assurance. It’s on my right hand on the side of my thumb so that i have visibility of it and it is on the side of my body that is about action and the outside world. I’ve had it for like over a week now, it definitely has helped me a lot already. Its my power stance towards the world and has honestly helped embody a deep transformation in my life towards the highest version of myself. I preformed a ritual while creating the tattoo in order to keep a steady focus of intention and charge it! I use it as a tool to reflect, align, faith, and overall confidence (:
If you get a symbol from another culture, be sure to do extensive research bc you are marking your body with the essence of that symbol, and be guided by your intuition, not your eyes. I hope you still get it!!
This is an outstanding video it taught me something about the magick of tattooing in Thailand
ok
So much that I don't know, so much that I do know. Watching this triggered memories of past lives when I had this knowledge.
Thank you for sharing some knowledge
Great talk about a fascinating culture
If I was to get a tattoo, I would definitely be some kind of Talisman or symbol of some kind of super power that’s the only way I would get one
Yeat

Placebo……….. it is your mind (intentions) that have the power.
which is exactly what Cummings says in the talk.

Have you noticed a difference in your life since you’ve got them?
young owl what amulets?
Are there any negative side effects from using a sigil?
Is there any negative side effects of using a knife?
Wtf
Depending on how you use it. Just like anything.
Make sure you are not using words such as Can't, Don't, also try not to influence other peoples free will.
Yeah the demons attached to them don't like it when you try to stop
Wow you pronounciation is so similar with Thai accent
I can't fuckin understand when he pronounces the names of the stuff lol
Kao yot has nothing with Meru peaks
At 9:42 they spliced to audio to hide that he said mount meru which is a gold mountain at the center of the earth referred to as the axis of the earth…you see they tell you what they want you to know never the whole of the story if I didn’t read I wouldn’t know what he meant but I caught that shxt after listening several times and you can to
It's just an audio glitch, and I can still hear him say the word Meru. Cummings' books also go deep into Mt Meru cosmology. The idea that someone wants to hide such info is ludicrous. It's found in literally tens of thousands of publications and public lectures.

man i clicked on the wrong vid
Tattoos help the detective to solve investigations?! I'm sure that's reassuring for the victims' families...
In Thailand, it is.
And when it leads nowhere? Secularism is increasing here, thankfully.
Nick Kenchington And a day you're not stupid, that will never come unfortunately
This clown needed to do his homework, It originated from Cambodia it written in Khmer Language .
Sak translates in Khmer is Tattoo , Yant translates in Khmer is Protection .
And Muy Thai in from Cambodia, Muy translates in Khmer is One
It is really hurt as a Cambodian.
Not true. It originated among Tai cultures living in SW China and NW Vietnam 500 to 1000 years ago. Tai sacred tattoos use Khmer, Lao, Shan, Lanna and Tai Lu scripts, depending on the region and the master. The word sak in Khmer is of Tai origin.
Ok little bit about everything, in general the video was not informational.
And now the video is removed...welldone
No it's not lol
活着就要精进学习。头脑才会灵话。因53童年时也如此。
this white man is not correct about Jolies tattoo. she got that in Cambodia because it is in its purest form
You are wrong. Thai tattoo master Ajahn Noo Ganpai did the work. Do your homework.
You are right, she's got it in Kamboja. But it was made by Noo Kanpai.
@@slimturnpike yup, exactly. It was done by Aj Noo in Pathum Thani (which IS IN THAILAND)...listen timeline 5.45
@@plagueinsideme she got it in Thailand.
Ladyboy
This is absolutely Shirk and Haram thing......Only God to be asked for help...
I do include God, he gave us Mother Azna, Mother Earth, guidance from the heavens. God is in everything. God is very passionate about us. That or he would have let us go. He loves his creations. As do I. I AM here to manifest God's business.
On that note I have everything I need. The universe is the almighty God the creator of all things.
Religious types who claim that they are unable to help themselves because only God can. Did God give you free will or didnt He?
You must also be unable to sin, because only God can do that for you

Drive Easy why do you say this, is he taking someone else’s work? Just curious.
