There’s a peculiar thrill in clicking “publish” on your first Medium article. After months of research and countless hours weaving academic citations with personal reflection, The Mystery and Magick of Sound: Mantras, Holy Practitioners, Sound Weapons and Magick finally sees the light of day. At 7,765 words, it’s a super deep long read dive into mantras, sacred practitioners, and the esoteric power of sound itself—subjects I’ve long been drawn to. Writing this felt less like creating content and more like uncovering something ancient and inherently human. From chanting traditions to modern sonic research, the connections were startling. Now it’s finally out there. Whether readers find practical wisdom or simply a spark of curiosity, that’s the magic of sharing knowledge. The monster title alone—mentioning sound weapons and magick—may raise some eyebrows. But that’s the point. Some truths live in the margins, waiting for someone willing to trace the threads. I hope readers find something that resonates, whether they’re skeptics, seekers, or somewhere in between. Here’s to the journey ahead. My book Thai Tattoo Magick is available via Inner Traditions.
