This blog is continuation of the Necromancers capability especially those in Malaysia, Thai, Cambodia and Myanmar region. Part 3, I have written about the most fierce child spirits Lukkrok adopted by working necromancers.
Unknown to many, there is another branch of raising the spirits, raising spirits of fierce animals by necromancers.
Many would ask, how is it possible, animal consciousness is lower level than human, if animal dies shouldn't it goes directly toward rebirth (if you accept cycle of life theory). If the animal is born then the raising of the spirits would not work. This branch of magic are using the unborn of fierce mammals.
This practice has been going on as early on as the Wicha tradition itself in South East Asian region. Recorded story or legend of Human Lukkrok are from General Khun Paen folk tales, animal lukkrok usage in wicha would be even earlier than it.
These unborn mammals are name lukkrok as well, as the meaning is actually dried corpse. Depending on the type of mammals, some animal lukkrok are even more rare than human lukkrok.
In ancient days there are elephant lukkrok, tiger lukkrok and leopard lukkrok. These are extremely rare lukkrok as the chances of ancient hunters being able to hunt a pregnant fierce wild animal is extremely remote. However being extremely rare does not mean it will stop necromancers from obtaining these lukkrok. Some would then ask, well its just a fetus of wild animal, what can it do?
For necromancers, it is all about potential, Tiger Lukkrok is young tiger spirit potential, if raised correctly the necromancers believe that the spirit of tiger would be able to assist them in their necromancers activity such as protection, attacks, seek out enemies and naturally the owner would be able to invoke fear on whomever that they came into contact.
Ancient wichas place extreme important into the potential and also the raw energy of the base of magic. As they believe once you have the necessary raw energy, conversion of it into usage is just 1 step away. As oppose to trying to use wicha/witchcraft to create an object that can mimic the raw energy and further transfuse the energy for usage.
All the above animal mentioned however are classified under almost extinct animal protection law. Therefore necromancers that have it now are usually from family or lineage master passed down heirlooms.
Ancient trader families in the Cambodia region even up to Myanmar are common in using Boar Lukkrok . Unborn baby wild boars are obtained and the necromancers would bind the consciousness of the baby wild boars into it’s dried corpse. Traders would then raise these spiritual wild boars in aid of their business and gain competitive advantages. Real Boar lukkroks are also extremely rare nowadays due to developments and also decreasing numbers of wild boars.
As for boar lukkrok, now in Thailand there are still many Master claiming that they can and have consecrated boar lukkrok. Unknown to unsuspecting outsiders, many times these boar lukkrok are actually pig fetus obtain from pig farm and claim as boar lukkrok.
Example above are what is being offered in market for boar lukkrok.
Most of these wild animal lukkroks are actually spiritual companion of Necromancers, most are inherited and some are given by necromancers to their close ally for specific task and usage for a specific period of time. And in the world of wichas these are considered ‘master’ class items. Those who are not necromancers or guided by necromancers are strongly advise to think twice about owning these items, IF it ever was authentic.
