"I am forever grateful to the ones who shared their light with me."
Who are these people?
A Lersi (ฤๅษี) is a hermit-sage in Thai and Southeast Asian spiritual traditions, embodying the ancient path of ascetic wisdom, supernatural mastery, and deep meditative insight. Rooted in both Hindu and Buddhist influences, Lersi dedicate themselves to intense spiritual practice, often retreating to forests, mountains, or caves to cultivate esoteric knowledge, self-discipline, and mystical powers. They are the predecessors and spiritual guides to many Ajarns (อาจารย์)—highly skilled masters of Thai Wicha (ไสยศาสตร์), the sacred sciences of magic, protection, healing, and spirit invocation. Unlike monks (Phra, พระ), who follow strict Buddhist monastic codes, Ajarns and Lersi can wield both Buddhist and animist magics, performing rituals, creating amulets, and invoking spirits for various purposes. Luang Phor (หลวงพ่อ), revered elder monks, focus on Buddhist teachings and merit-making but may also engage in protective Wicha. While monks seek enlightenment through discipline and morality, Lersi and Ajarns often bridge the mystical and practical, preserving Thailand’s ancient spiritual heritage through ritual, meditation, and divine connection.

I met a remarkable master, Ajarn San Khengwet, whose presence defied all expectations. Instead of solemn rites and rigid teachings, he welcomed me with horseback rides and imparted the secrets of animal charming katha. He introduced me to the fire kasina and even performed a rare fire kasina ritual on me, one of his disciples, and another of my masters. I received a powerful tiger sak yant from him, marking me as his student. His home, a cave temple, is where he performs sak yant for some of Thailand's most renowned Muay Thai fighters. Long before meeting him, I admired his amulets, and visiting him in person while training with the Bang Rachan warriors felt like fate. I was privileged to study from his grandfather's ancient book of Wicha, a tome so powerful that legend says anyone unworthy who touches it will fall gravely ill. During a special Pu Jow Saming Prai rite, he donned his grandfather’s mummified face, and as he chanted, I became possessed—my hands curled into claws, an insatiable craving for raw meat overtook me. The incantations were too strong, and he had to stop the ritual. I can attest to this master’s power—his Wicha is real, ancient, and beyond formidable.

The famous Ghost Master of the North, the sole creator of the Five-Headed Ghost, and a true master of Salika Lin Thong and Metta Mahaniyom. Over the years, I’ve brought several students to pay their respects to him, and he has gifted me with Lek Lai-infused honey, ivory powder, tiger fur, and skull caps of fallen soldiers. He is the embodiment of a true practitioner—one who walks the path, not just speaks of it. During the devastating Chiang Mai floods of 2024, he not only raised significant donations for those in need but personally waded through floodwaters to rescue elderly residents trapped in their homes. A former monk of over a decade before taking the Ajarn path, his mastery of intricate and ancient katha is unparalleled. His skill in crafting Kuman Thong and Luk Thep is highly sought after by Thai celebrities, Japanese businessmen, and even K-pop stars from Korea. Studying under him has been an immense privilege, deepening my understanding of Prai sorcery and the profound arts of Metta Mahaniyom.

Lersi Pu Tong will forever hold a place in my heart—he was like a grandfather to me. Before his passing in 2023, he predicted the exact day of his death with eerie precision, giving away his treasured amulet collection. As his student, I am honored to hold several of these sacred relics, never to part with them. A master of the Rainbow Lersi Tribe, he possessed extraordinary abilities, healing broken bones and twisted limbs of rural folk before my eyes. His command of Wicha Sai Sawang allowed him to manifest radiant light, casting mesmerizing rainbows from his hands. A true sage, his wisdom and power reshaped my world, and though he is gone, the knowledge he bestowed upon me will live on through my practice forever.

The first Lersi I ever met opened the door to a world of magick I never imagined possible. He was my guide to countless Ajarns, revered monks, and fellow Lersi, shaping the path that led me to the masters I know today. I lived with him for a year—my own personal Lersi boot camp—where every day began with alms-giving, followed by intense Wicha practice, katha recitations, and meditation. Our studies ranged from plant properties and ritual practices to crafting yants and amulets, often through relentless repetition. He drilled the foundations into me, ensuring every chant, every stroke of a yant, and every ritual became second nature. Old-school to the core, he had little patience for laziness—I still laugh remembering the sting of the Lersi stick when I dared to slack off. His discipline forged me into the practitioner I am today, and for that, I am forever grateful. Worth noting, I met him through his brother, Thanaphol Pakdee, a monk I studied under for several years.

I was fortunate to spend several years studying under this extraordinary master before his retirement in 2025. Renowned for his powerful Phra Phrom Wicha and masterfully built San Phra Khum, he left an indelible mark on my path. I proudly bear the entire Mother Yant on my back, gifted by his hand, and a unique Sak Yant on my stomach—an intricate fusion of his masters' sacred yants, now passed to me for my own students. While he trained me extensively in Sak Yant, true mastery is still years away. His past reads like a legend—once a feared gangster who shot up a bar and killed a cop, he vanished into the jungle, finding refuge with a monk in a hidden cave. A decade later, he emerged beyond the statute of limitations, transformed by the wisdom of the sacred. His journey from outlaw to Ajarn is a testament to the power of redemption, discipline, and devotion to the path of Wicha.

This master once off the clock is the most hilarious person to spend an evening with
A master unlike any other, known to many as the famous blind Ajarn, but preferring the name Doctor Fish—a nod to his extraordinary karmic journey. Once the revered big monk of Wat Bua Khwan, he held the immense responsibility of purifying the sins of fellow monks. His blindness came suddenly, a fate he accepted as karmic justice. As a child, he cruelly poked out the eyes of fish; years later, he dreamt of being surrounded by them, and by morning, his sight was gone. Yet, despite his blindness, he creates breathtakingly intricate amulets, each painted with stunning precision. From him, I learned powerful and advanced energy healing Wicha, techniques I continue to use with my clients to this day.

I stirred up some controversy by receiving three Sak Yant tattoos from Phra Ajarn Aung, who stopped doing Sak Yant at the request of Wat Choeng Wai over a decade ago. One of the tattoos was the famous Doll and Butterfly Yant by Luang Phor Kloy, known for its distinct appearance. Phra Ajarn Aung, a direct descendant disciple of the late Luang Phor Kloy, is renowned and sought after in Nonthaburi. He works extensively with Phra Pilap the deva, and I've had the privilege of returning multiple times to receive blessings, amulets, katha, and teachings, including how to make a special takrud.

One of the most revered monks of the century, Luang Phor Khaek passed away seven years ago, but his legacy lives on through my main master, Thanaphol Pakdee, and my other master, Lersi Lek Pakdee, who served him tirelessly. Luang Phor Khaek was known for performing miracles—levitation, amulets with undeniable power, withstanding flames without burns, and submerging underwater for hours without drowning. His posthumous ritual works, led by Lersi Lek Pakdee, allowed me to interact with his spirit and witness undeniable paranormal phenomena. So revered, he could smoke in the ordination hall without anyone questioning him. A master of immense power and compassion, I am honored to hold his katha, yant, and guarded secrets, passed down by his most dedicated disciples.

Luang Phor "Eat Nine" (that's the pronunciation) was the strictest teacher I've ever had, even demanding at one point that I break up with my girlfriend at the time, foreseeing her causing me great harm—advice I ignored, only for it to play out exactly as he predicted down to the smallest detail. A wise yet stern master, he was the first to pioneer the creation of Luk Thep dolls, earning his moniker. I visited him twice a week for a year, learning invaluable lessons on discipline, meditation, tamboon (merit-making), and honoring both loved ones and strangers equally. A profoundly magical monk, his true focus was teaching the Dhamma and I will never forget the sessions where he would have me start over for not pronouncing even just one syllable correct when reciting katha.

I have met masters from all walks of life, from those who could wield divine light and heal physical illness with a touch to masters who slept on piles of bones in graveyards and whispered the secrets of the dead. At the center of all these experiences, blessings, and teachings, one thing always stood first and foremost, my eternal gratitude. I am aware that I live a privileged life in being able to stand behind the gate so closely kept guarded. I do not take the blessings and teachings lightly and I believe in not only giving back to my community, but also in helping those who can not help themselves, trying to be the best example of representing what my masters stand for and have imprinted upon me.
