THAI CHARMS and AMULETS by Q>Hya Anuman Cflajadhon Acting President, Royal Lnstitztte
THAI CHARMS AND AMULETS by q>hya Anuman Cflajadhon Acting President, Royal lnstitztte Tbe belief in and use of charms and amulets as magical protec tion against dangers and misfortunes, and also to bring love, luck and power is a world-wide one. It is not confined to primitive races on! y, but also to be found among modern peoples of every nation and faith. In fact "the thought and practice of civilized peoples can not be cut off as with a knife from the underlying customs and beliefs which have played a determining part in shaping the resulting products, however much subsequent knowledge and ethical evaluation may have modified and transformed the earlier notions". 1 For this reason, every faith and religion has in one form or another certain cui ts and formulas, as inherited from the dim past and handed down from generation to generation, from the old belief of magic and superstition, which are paradoxically contrary to the real teaching of the religion's founder. This is inevitable; for the mass of humanity that forms the woof and warp of the woven fabric of faith of the great religions, is composed of many levels of culture. A.B. Griswold says in his "Doctrines and Reminders of Theravada Buddhism" that "within the Theravada there are two very different sorts of Buddhist rationalists and pious believers."2 This may be applied equally to other religions: there are always implicitly two sorts of believers within the same religion, the intellectuals and the pious people. It is with the latter that one can :find abundant phenomena of charms and amulets in belief and practice.

MAGICAL AMULETS in Thai Culture
MAGICAL AMULETS In Thai culture By Chris Jones of Thai-amulets.com There are four types of magical amulets in Thai culture. The term to describe these amulets as a whole is khawng-khlang, which may be translated as 'sacred, potent objects.' The first type is the khruang-rang, which means material substances transformed into stone or copper. These amulets will protect people if they are held in the mouth or on the body. They include khot, which are stones found in nature such as stone eggs or meteoric ores and various types of seeds found in jack-fruit and tamarind plants. These amulets are used mostly by poor people, since they depend upon being found freely rather than having to be bought. The second type is the phra-khruang, which are small statues or figurines of the Buddha which also protect the person or, if larger, a household. They may be cast from a mould or else be in the form of a votive tablet. These may be used to complete a vow – i.e. to thank the Buddha for a blessing – or else as a talisman carried around the neck. The third type is the khruang-pluk-sek. Pluk-sek means 'to arouse the potency of a person or object by means of a spell or incantation' so a khruang-pluk-sek is a more powerful form of amulet. Most of the spells used are incantations based on ancient Sanskrit verses – Sanskrit is known as Pali in Thailand. When the spells call for being written down, the Khmer (Cambodian) alphabet is used rather than Thai which is not considered to be suitable for magic.Khmer characters are believed to have runic qualities.

Auble, M.A. University of Nebraska, 2011 Adviser: Carole Levin Sixteenth and seventeenth century sources reveal that precious stones served a number of important functions in Elizabethan and early Stuart society. The beauty and rarity of certain precious stones made them ideal additions to fashion and dress of the day. These stones also served political purposes when flaunted as examples of a country‘s wealth, bestowed as favors, or even worn as a show of royal support.

A Magical Amulet for Curing Fever
CHAPTER TEN A MAGICAL AMULET FOR CURING FEVER Among the Greek papyri in the Princeton University Collections is a magical talisman designed to rid the wearer of fever. 1 This charm, which is written on a cheap grade of coarse papyrus2 by an unlettered hand, measures about zi inches wide and about s¼ long (see Plate I B). When discovered it was still folded in a narrow compass, presumably to be placed in a small container and worn on the body of the patient.3 From the style of the handwriting the amulet can be dated in the third or fourth Christian century. The first third of the papyrus contains a meaningless string of mysterious-sounding syllables, arranged in seven lines, the first of which reads ~ixyoup1jmxyoup1j. In each of the following six lines the formula is written in such a way that the first letter and the last letter of the preceding line are dropped, thus forming a triangular pattern. The ancients attached a good deal of significance to the shape of this pattern (which was known as ~oTpuoe:La~c; "shaped like a bunch of grapes"), the theory being that the shortening of the incantation in successive lines would be effective in lessening the malady.4 The barbaric sound of the formula, composed of syllables 1 It is no. 159 in the Princeton University Collections, and was first edited by the present writer in Papyri in the Princeton University Collections, vol. III, ed. by Allen Chester Johnson and Sidney Pullman Goodrich (Princeton, 1942), 78-79.

Tona , the Folk Healing Practices in Rural Punjab
TONA, THE FOLK HEALING PRACTICES IN RURAL PUNJAB, PAKISTAN AZHER HAMEED QAMAR PhD student Norwegian Centre for Child Research (NOSEB) Norwegian University of Science and Technology Pavilion C, Dragvoll, Loholt allé 87, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Consulting religion and magic for healing is an important aspect of healing belief practices. Magical thinking provides space for culturally cognitive patterns to inte- grate belief practices. Tona, a layman’s approach to healing that describes magico- religious (fusion of magic and religion) and secular magic practices in rural Pun- jab, Pakistan, is an example of magico-religious and secular magical practice. The purpose of this study is to analyse tona as it is practiced to cure childhood diseases (sokra and sharwa) in Muslim Punjab, Pakistan. This is an ethnographic study I con- ducted using participant observation and unstructured interviews as the primary research methods. The study produced an in-depth analysis of tona as a healing belief practice in the light of Frazer’s principles of magical thinking and sympa- thetic magic. The study provides a deeper understanding of the magical thinking in magico-religious healing belief practices. KEYWORDS: childcare beliefs • folk remedies • religion • magic • magico-reli- gious healing • magical thinking INTRODUCTION Healthcare beliefs as an elementary component of the basic human instinct of survival exist in all cultures. Consulting religion and magic to control and manipulate nature and contact divine power is an important aspect of healing belief practices. These belief practices are religious, non-religious or may present a fused picture of religious/non- religious beliefs.

Beware the Evil Eye’ a Closer Glance at a Recent Title
‘BEWARE THE EVIL EYE’ A CLOSER GLANCE AT A RECENT TITLE The age-old and universal belief that a human being could wittingly or unwittingly cause misfortune, injury, or even death to another person by casting an unseen emanation from the eye embodies a concept that requires little introduction, even in today’s modern world of computers, ‘smart’-phones, autonomous cars, and artificial intelligence. The notion of the ‘Evil Eye’ appears tightly bound up with the idea that there existed in ancient communities a limited bounty of natural resources, whether tangible or intangible, from which animal, human, and even divine forces, could draw upon for sustenance, livelihood, prosperity, success, repute, and societal honor. The projection of a malevolent glance against an unwary target could, in part, seek to acquire a set of goods or other indiscernible benefits that would not otherwise be available to the propagator. In this respect, the Evil Eye was closely aligned from the beginning, in the ancient literature, with jealousy and envy (Gk. φθόνος, ζηλοτυπία), whether it was the envy of someone else’s fruit-bearing crops, another’s beautiful child, or a competitor’s successful business. The workings of the Evil Eye also pre- supposed an active and emanative physiology of vision rarely advocated in today’s scientific community which interprets the eye as a passive ‘lens’ receiving reflected light from a remote object as an inverted image on the retina that the brain then reverts. A recent four-volume work by John H. Elliott, whose initial tome appeared more than three years ago, has now come to complete fruition with the publication of the final volume in the series, namely, that dealing with the Evil Eye in the world of post-Biblical Jewish and Christian antiq- uity1.
