🇹🇭 Angelina-Jolie with Thai Sak Yant Belief by Master Noo Kanpai!🧡
Tattooing, associated with the passage to adulthood, was widely practiced among men, and a form of poison-doll sorcery was widespread among the Tai around Asia. (The Beginnings of Tai History Book by David K. Wyatt was the John Stambaugh Professor of History at Cornell University, USA)
Sak– meaning “to tap” or, “to tattoo”, the word from Thai -Tai and
Yant – meaning “Yantra”. Originally derived from the Sanskrit word “YANTRA”.
Thai Sak Yant or The Traditional Thai Tattoo are only to be tattooed by Buddhist monks, or Brahmin Holy men . The Yant tattoos have developed over the centuries under the influence of several different religious philosophies. The Yantra designs that already existed in Hindu India were adapted by the Thais as Buddhism arrived from neighboring India.
Thailand is 98% Buddhist with a long history in belief in magic and the supernatural. Sak Yants are seen as the strongest form of protection against such forces. In addition they are used as a personal Talisman for creating change in personality, life circumstances and achievement of goals.
