Issue one of Ajarn Spencer Littlewood's cult classic Thai occult Ezine. This edition opened the eyes of many people to the fact that Ajarn Spencer was not only knowledgeable on the subject of Thai temple tattoos ('sak yant'), but also an avid student of Thai Buddhist amulets.

The project ended for a two year pause after issue five, with many people clamoring for more issues, but Ajarn Spencer had become simply too busy to find time to continue.

He therefore set a break time to finish his other projects first, after which he promises to return to writing and publishing the 'Buddha Magic' series, with another five Ezine set of publications.
