Ogre

Lately, I have a friend, a friend, a story. The last story will have a ghoul involved to deceive the person who came to leave the story that went to find the incident until losing the loved one. Today, we come to the deep belief of ghouls.

With a story about "ghosts" that have long been attached to Thai society, "ghouls," talk to Professor Piphan, a professor in history, the School of Arts, the University of Thammasat, about the belief in "ghouls" in Thai society and looking at ghouls in another way that is connected to lifestyle, society and culture.

The ogre is a traditional belief in Thai-Lao culture, especially in the northeast. Evidence has been found that records of ogre from the time of Ayutthaya are the dictionary, or orthodox, of Dr. Rudley in the third reign, where ogre is mentioned.

How many types of ogre are born?

Ghosts are generally divided into two types: good and bad ghosts. In the case of ghouls, the ghouls are classified as bad ghosts. We have to distinguish between the images of ghouls that appear in the media and the beliefs of the local culture. The ghouls that we perceive through the media are mainly remembered by the movie Blue Ghost ghouls, the ghouls of ghouls, the ghouls in the movie, which show the appearance of picking up, and the appearance of ghouls, and the ghosts of the sky are scary, like eating blood.

The ogre, which belongs to local beliefs and cultures, is divided into two categories: mantra ogre and ogre.

A mantra ogre is an ogre born of a subject, a subject, and then a mistake, doing something wrong, such as misusing a mantra to make yourself rich, using a mantra to summon paddy from someone else's field, and not controlling it. The mantra becomes an ogre.

Infectious ghouls are ghouls inherited through the family, but most are primarily female descent.

Besides the individual ogre, there is another form of ogre in the northeast, the village ogre, which is believed to cause sex. The normal thing happens to the village. When there is a bad thing, the villagers find people with seniority, mostly women, and then perform ghost-scoop rituals, ghost spoons, or small baskets, trap ghosts, and burn them.

Why are most ogres women?

A statistical survey has found that about 94 - 95 percent of ghouls are women rather than men. If we understand this, it may be possible to go back to pre-historic times in Southeast Asian societies where women were traditionally dominant because when agricultural societies were born, women were next door, men went out looking for food, so women controlled economic resources, making the role of women from about four thousand years ago huge until about 2,000 to 2,500 years ago, the role began to change men to lead, but nevertheless, with social structures and many other factors, women have become leaders. The status has always been important.

When women are big in the house, we can see that ghouls are ghosts attached to the house, not ghosts that wander around, and most of them are born in rural village societies that everyone knows, rarely in cities.

When it comes to the power of ghosts, it is the power of women, not of men, not just ghouls, but many of the ghosts that are women, such as the tree ghost, the sky ghost, the northeast ghost, the original man, but the person who has contact with the sky ghost is a woman, and the ghost is a man, because the influence of the male society has begun to come, and we can see that when there is an influence from Buddhism, Hinduism, the person who acts to defeat the ghost is the role of the "monk," the role of the "magician," most of whom are men.

"These beliefs, as long as they don't affect other people's fundamental rights, believe them, I don't think there's a problem, but if it's a belief that threatens other people's freedom, such as accusing someone of being a ghoul, by belief or not, and then hurting him by beating a shaman, this is a problem. Today we are more individualistic, I believe everyone has the judgment to believe," said Dr. Pitaun.
