What’s Been Stirring in the Den?

Image
Hello there! It’s been a while since my last post. Life’s been busy, but the fire hasn’t gone out, so I figured it was time to share what’s been moving and shaking in the Den. Blending Sorcery, Building Bonds As most of you know, my work lives in that crossroads where amulets, powders, oils, and bones carry more than just weight—they carry sorcery. A lot of this is born from my own roots in magical practices, my conjure practice, and the lessons of my teacher and dear friend Ajarn Apichai in Thailand . Along the way, I’ve built real bonds with other sorcerers—people I deeply respect, who I get to work alongside not just from afar, but often right here within driving distance. This year, much of my work has been alongside Jackson from House of Ophidious. Our projects are a true fusion: his knowledge of star sorcery, precious stones, and the radiance of celestial currents meeting my powders, oils, and spirit-led techniques. Together, we bring our alliances of spirits to the table and s...

Understanding Nam Man Prai and Its Mystical Practices

Image
Nam Man Prai (NMP) has gained notable attention in recent years within spiritual and mystical communities. Its allure lies in its profound connection to spirits and the supernatural, but it remains shrouded in mystery and often misunderstood. As someone who has studied under Ajarn Apichai, a trusted mentor in the art, I approach this topic with a level of caution and reverence .

At its core, Nam Man Prai is a type of oil extracted from a corpse through specific rituals. Its creation is steeped in deep spiritual practices, where lineage and the teachings of an ajarn (teacher) play a significant role. The process involves selecting a particular type of corpse based on the desired qualities of the oil. Once extracted, the oil undergoes a series of rituals...

The Return of Creation: Introducing the Pomba Gira’s Takrut of Empowerment

Image
  After taking some time away to focus on events, rituals, and the art of tattooing, I’m excited to share the culmination of my recent work. Over the past few months, I’ve been collaborating closely with Ajarn Apichai to bring forth a project that combines two powerful spiritual traditions. This endeavor, a limited-edition fusion of Quimbanda and Thai necromancy, has resulted in a truly remarkable creation: The  Pomba Gira’s Takrut of Empowerment. This takrut serves as the perfect complement to Exú’s Fusion Patúa, uniting energies from two potent paths to craft an amulet unlike any other. For those unfamiliar, a takrut is a form of spellwork inscribed onto a metal sheet (or other natural materials), imbued with power and purpose. For this release, we have crafted two versions: • 7 pieces in lead : Processed and melted by Ajarn himself. • 14 pieces in copper : Also charged and empowered with the same care. Each takrut is created with a meticulous blend of materia...
