Cambodian Shamans Curse Thai General in Black Magic Ceremony

In a striking display of supernatural warfare, Cambodian shamans have conducted a black magic ritual against Thai General Bunsin Padklang, who commanded military forces during the recent border conflict between the two nations. As reported by The Bangkok Post, the bizarre ceremony involved symbolic violence against the general’s photo, ritualistic dancing, and chants calling for his death. The ritual began with traditional music and dancing performed in front of a man dressed in white robes. A large photo of General Padklang was displayed prominently, serving as the centerpiece of the ceremony. At its climax, a shaman armed with a trident began stabbing the image repeatedly, an act mirrored by other participants who took turns enacting similar attacks on the portrait. "Songs were chanted to wish for the general’s imminent death," the newspaper noted.
