Amulet and spells in Cambodia
Hi all, new to the forum! Hope it is ok to post this question here.
I’ll be living in Phnompenh for a year for work. So just trying to learn about the country and people.
I was born in China but moved to the US with fam since 10yo so I am sort of know the Asian culture from my fam but have not experienced much of it. My parents knew about my upcoming work trip and very worried. One thing my parents keep warning me is that I have to be careful of the powerful “Spells”, amulets and the “special herbs” that can control mind and manipulate the person. Is that true??
Is there anything like that and if anyone has any superstition belief to share? I’m intrigued!

Yes there are special spells here. Plenty of western men have lost their savings under the spell of Asian women. There are also a lot of special herbs ranging from stuff they sprinkle on pizza to China White.
Beware.

Wait, they really exist or you’re just joking with me? Where do they get that from? at the temple?

So this is a real thing. I was doubting my parent. But how do we protect ourselves from being spelled?
