Look at the huge enchanted tattoo that Angelina Jolie got all over her back, months before her split from Brad Pitt

In February 2016, the then-couple visited a former Thai monk in Bangkok to cement their union. I discovered the magical meaning of the Sak yant.

The images had never come to light shows them to you. In February 2016, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt visited former monk Ajarn Noo Kanpai in Thailand. There, in the city of Bangkok, the Hollywood goddess had a huge traditional "enchanted" tattoo done on her entire back, six months before confirming her separation from the ever-present heartthrob.

The actress was on a break from her directing work on the film First They Killed My Father in Cambodia, and she traveled there to get three intricate "magical" designs, called Sak yant, made. On her part, Brad had a Buddhist symbol done on his stomach area and Kanpai used the same ink for both tattoos to "symbolically unite them as husband and wife." Ironically, six months later the marriage would end with scandal included.

Angelina had already submitted to the hands of Ajarn Noo in 2003 and 2004 to immortalize various "enchantments" on her body. The method used by the former monk is as old as it is painful: he uses steel bars with surgical needles.

Sak yant is a practice that consists of tattooing yantras (a sacred geometric diagram originating in India to which magical powers are attributed) that benefit the wearer. In Thai it means "talisman tattoo" and its practice originated in Cambodia about 2000 years ago (although today it persists almost exclusively in Thailand).The tattoos are made up of abbreviations of religious incantations, sometimes accompanied by images of snakes, tigers, elephants and other animals, and were believed in ancient times to provide mystical powers and immunity against arrows.The most popular of the Sak yant are the so-called "five lines", which Angelina wears on the left side of her back. Each line represents a spell, which said 108 times can take the tattoo holder to a higher level of meditation. The first line prevents unjust punishment, cleanses unwanted spirits, and protects the home. The second turns bad horoscopes and bad luck on its head. The third protects from black magic, the fourth favors good luck and the fifth stimulates charisma and attracts the opposite s*x.
