Sgg reading divination, also known as "Sgg กระทู้ เสี่ยงทาย" in Thai, is a popular form of divination that originated in Thailand. It involves asking a question and receiving an answer through the interpretation of a set of sacred sticks. In this form of divination, the practitioner holds a set of 100 sticks, known as "Sgg sticks," in their hands. These sticks are usually made from bamboo or other types of wood and are marked with numbers or symbols. To begin the divination process, the practitioner focuses on their question or concern and then shakes the sticks until one falls out of the bundle. The number or symbol on the stick is then used to find the corresponding answer in a book or guide that accompanies the set of sticks.
This was, quite simply, an awesome time to be a cultural critic. At the Village Voice, then a feisty paragon of identity politics and primo alternative journalism, I was encouraged by a handful of highly skilled (and highly tolerant) editors to write about everything from cosmic heavy metal to posthumanist philosophy to The X-Files to the Zippies. Following the steps of my Voice pal and fellow tech journalist Julian Dibbell, I got a Panix dial-up account in 1993, and dove into the weirdness of alt groups, French theory listservs, and the social experiments of LambdaMOO, where I encountered a crew of highly intelligent and creative anarchist pagans that blew my mind. Those years were, by far, the most fun I ever had online. But the real initiation into the stream of technomagic that inspired TechGnosis occurred a couple years earlier, when I flew from New York to the Bay Area in order to attend the first and only Cyberthon, a paisley-flaked technology gathering whose speakers included Timothy Leary, Terence McKenna, and Bruce Sterling. Virtual reality, now making a belated comeback through Oculus Rift and related gamer gear, was all the rage. I strapped on dread-headed Jaron Lanier’s data-glove rig, and I toured the VR lab at NASA Ames with the deeply entertaining John Perry Barlow. I met a sardonic William Gibson, who single-handedly engineered our “collective hallucination” of cyberspace, and a standoffish Stewart Brand, whose Whole Earth tool fetishism presaged the Cyberthon’s meet-up of counterculture and cyberculture. For me, born in the Bay Area but raised and living on the East Coast, the Cyberthon was a strange kind of homecoming: one that only strapped me onto a new line of flight, a cruise that rode the growing updrafts of what would become the mass digital bloom.
I met a sardonic William Gibson, who single-handedly engineered our collective hallucination of cyberspace, and a standoffish Stewart Brand, whose Whole Earth tool fetishism presaged the Cyberthon s meet-up of counterculture and cyberculture. Phil Dick s prophecy, cited earlier in TechGnosis , is here our engineered world is beginning to possess what the primitive sees in his environment animation.
The number or symbol on the stick is then used to find the corresponding answer in a book or guide that accompanies the set of sticks. The interpretation of the answer is based on the traditional beliefs and symbolism associated with each number or symbol. These interpretations can vary depending on the specific guidebook or the experience and intuition of the practitioner.
TANTRIC TALES WRATH OF THE WRAITH
Tantric Tales: Wrath of the Wraith is a Horror Dramedy, the first of it’s kind, about three Tantrics, Anali, Manja and Suraiya. The play starts with a prologue establishing the wacky relationship of the Trinayanas, a name given to them by their fans, in one of their last exorcisms together. We see a small flash interview of the three after they have split up. We are now welcomed to the present, in a small Goanese house where we meet Leena and her rebellious daughter, Farishta. Leena has contacted Anali and Manja because they think they are being haunted. Anali and Manja fail to see a problem, other than their mental health and Anali being him, says something very hurtful and is then thrown out of the house. Suraiya is called in by Leena to save the day. The meeting of the Trinayanas is awkward at best. The exorcism that follows is a journey of healing for tortured mother and daughter, through whose relationship the Trinayanas also find growth, healing and finally get to be a family again.

In a recent essay for the book Excommunication, Eugene Thacker examines the constitutive role that media have played in many supernatural horror tales. In normal life, the different times and places that communication technologies tie together belong to the same plane of reality — New Caledonia may be an exotic place, but when I FaceTime someone there, I am still communicating with a locus in Terran spacetime. But in supernatural horror, media create portals between different orders of reality, what Bruno Latour would call different ontological “modes.” Examples include the cursed videotape in the J-horror classic Ringu, or the device in Lovecraft’s “From Beyond” that reveals the normally invisible beasties that flit about our dimension. The paradox of such fictions is that the remoteness of the otherworld is made immanent in the technology itself, present to hand in an actual artifact that still oozes otherness. The device it grows haunted, or weird, not because the technology breaks down, but because it works too well. Glitches, noise, and stray signals are no longer technical faults but the flip side of another order of being leaking through. Though Thacker is interested in horror fiction, a similar bleed between ontological realms occurs in some paranormal practices. Take the legions of photographers drawn to angels, ghosts, and manifestations of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Though the ubiquity of phones and post-processing techniques should, according to the rationalist rules of evidence, diminish the believability of specters or heavenly beings, some photographers have developed a rich iconography of lens flares, floating orbs, streakers, and other mysterious marks that indicate otherness. Media will always present technical anomalies, and such anomalies will always offer stages for oracular and otherworldly perception, whether or not you consider such perceptions as internally-generated apophenic projections, or as living traces of those mysterious orders of presences that seem to ghost communication.
