Kuman Thong history
A real Kuman Thong is not a smiling plastic statues that you see in so many shrines around Thailand. The original and true Kuman Thong is something very sinister and taboo art of black magic in his darkest. To make Kuman Thong, one must first surgically remove a stillborn fetus from the womb. A ceremony must be performed by someone well-trained in the ancient secrets of Thai animist necromancy. In a cemetery, at night, the dead baby is dry roasted over a fire, while the Necromancer sings the necessary mantras and secret incantations that to bind the spirit of stillbirth it. After drying, the body is covered in paint and gold leaf, which is the original reason for the name Kuman Thong.
In an authentic version of the ceremony, a substance called Nam-Man phrai is also applied to the body. The method for collecting Nam Man phrai is pretty spooky in itself. It involves burning a candle under the chin of the body of a woman who died during pregnancy, and collecting the oil that comes out of the skin. It is said to be powerful stuff and is used in all sorts of folk magic as crafting love spells, although genuine Nam Man is phrai illegal.The origin of production Kuman Thong appears in the folk legend Khun Chang Khun Phaen, which are found based on the life of a soldier in the Ayutthaya era. In the history Khun Phaen makes the first Kuman Thong from the fetus to the unborn child of his dead wife.Nowadays real Kuman Thong have been mostly replaced by symbolic statues, showing a little boy in traditional Ayutthaya era clothing. Kuman has his hair be carried out in a small bun and is often associated with a small sack of gold.So keep Kuman ThongKuman Thong a house and set up a small shrine to him is a bit like the adoption of a new child. It is believed that Kuman can grant favors for his master, but only if he is happy and even then there may be unintended side effects.
Sala' fruit
Taking care of the Kuman involves giving him something to eat and drink every day. He has to do a sweet tooth like most little boys, and so sweets, biscuits or other snacks are as good food offerings. For drinks, he likes Nam Daeng exclusively. Nam Daeng means "red water" and is a type of beverage sweetened with bright red artificial colorings and flavorings from the sala fruit (Salacca wallichiana) is manufactured. In place of the traditional Nam Daeng, Red Fanta is acceptable.All gods and spirits in Thailand seem these sweet red drink that I suspect has to enjoy become a substitute in the Buddhist times for animistic blood sacrifice of the distant past.Since Kuman is a child, it is also very common for people to have a toy to play for him. Just like a real child, Kuman need attention. You have to confirm its presence, you speak to him at some point, and so on, and then he will be nice and help you. Otherwise, he could play tricks on you. People who Kuman to keep at home are often reported have, strange things happen, such as hearing phantom sounds running around the child's laughter or the sound of small steps, as if a child were playing. Other typical poltergeist activity can occur as moving doors seem to open or close on its own and other items.You can not just get rid of only a Kuman Thong, once you have it-that would already ask for a disturbance. Instead, you are an undesirable Kuman to a temple, where a sort of ritual can be done to take it to release from the burden of caring for the spirit.
Dark Side Of The Kuman Craze
The vast majority of Kuman Thong that you see are plastic or wooden statues. Various small metal amulets, which are called the power of Kuman Thong also very popular. But the dark side of Kuman popularity is that it still exists of a stillborn or aborted fetus made a black market for the original type of Kuman. In May 2012, a Taiwanese-born British citizen, was arrested in Bangkok with six gold covered baby human corpses in his luggage. He had purchased and intended to sell them in Taiwan for a profit in Thailand.Wat Phai Ngoen In 2010, in Bangkok, the scene of a gristly discovery than 348 aborted fetuses was found on the premises. The temple was helping to dispose the body from illegal abortion clinics, and it is believed that some of the practitioners of black magic were sold.
Life with Ghost-Boy 1 year
Would you get spooked out with this guy in your living room?
I learned for the first time, over Kuman Thong when I rented a house for a year, which he is already living in. My landlady-a 50-something-year-old Thai-Chinese woman was very in any spiritual practice that was supposed to bring wealth or good fortune. She had previously lived in the house with her family and had kept the shrine intact. It contained a few Buddha images, one of the Hindu god Shiva, and three statues of Kuman Thong. The largest of the Kuman statues looked positively ancient and totally creeped me out.I would often strange dreams while living in this house alone and never really felt. A couple of times I was in the middle of the night by loud noises that sounded like objects aroused children moved around. Later I found out that there was a rat to fight always in the house, and I think the noise came from there with another animal (possibly a snake?) In the attic. So if the strange noises were of Kuman, the rat, or just have an overactive imagination coming-I think I can never be sure. The only thing I was sure of is that I was annoyed by the landlady for leaving Kuman at home and sticking me with the task of him cookies and red water per day.During the year, I lived with Kuman, he certainly is not any help with finance still has the landlord give me if it was time to return my deposit.
