Petch Phayatorn Neua Pong Prai Maha Sanay

1 Half-angel-half-ghost – It was believed that these sacred beings were very beautiful indeed and possessed the ability to use spells to entrance member of the opposite sex to sleep together.

Many monks who believe in these entities would often create amulets in the form of a sacred cloth (or “Pa Yant”) by stamping the Petchphayathorn Yant onto it. The Petchphayathorn Yant was also stamped onto metal plates to create sacred Takruts.

2 Sacred-animal souls – This belief was influenced by ancient Khmer magic & monks who recited sacred incantations about the ability of some mythological animals that were able to fly in the pursuit of attractive women for male worshippers and handsome men for female worshippers.

Front of the amulet features a glazed porcelain Thevada (an angel in Sanskrit) Posed in ethereal grace, surrounded by the Petch Payatorn yant.

It was believed that boas have some form of black magic power, a power it uses to induce its prey.

Each of the takruts are made of a piece of copper plate and a piece of silver plate, both each also  engraved with sacred spells respected for the power that could help call upon fortune into the worshippers’ life whilst also increasing charm and attractiveness. Both of the two metal plates are bound together with boa skins.
