3. Material Composition

The amulet was made using Phong Wahn Saan Ya (herbal and spiritual powder):

4. Blessing Ceremony

• Chanted and consecrated over multiple sessions by Luang Phor Tae, known for his deep spiritual power and control of spiritual beings (Katha Hanuman and Katha Kuman Thong)

• The final mass blessing was held at Wat Sam Ngam, with assistance from other senior monks from Nakhon Pathom and nearby provinces

• The ritual included invocations of the devas (celestial beings) to protect wearers and instill charm and fortune
