A rare and classic Sacred amulet, empowered with the World Famous Wicha of Wat Srisa Tong, empowered with the Magic of the preceding Lineage Masters of Wat Srisa Tong; Luang Por Dto, Luang Por Dtrai, Luang Por Dtan, Luang Por Lee, Luang Por Tong, Luang Por Choi, and his Kroo Ba Ajarn Luang Por Noi before him. The amulet is for Bucha to Pra Rahu Asura Deva of the Solar and Lunar Eclipse, carved by an artisan of Wat Sri Sa Tong, and empowered in the eclipses of sun and moon, and finally in the Bucha Kroo Luang Por Noi Ceremony at Wat Srisa Tong, with Luang Por Pin, presiding over the Blessing Ceremony.

The Pra Rahu amulets of Luang Por Pin and his Predecessor Noi, of Wat Srisa Tong, are amongst the top 3 Rahu Amulets of the History of Thai Amulets, along with those of the Great Lanna Master Kroo Ba Nanta, of Wat Thung Man Dtai. Luang Por Pin was the Looksit Aek (first and roemost apprentice in Wicha), to the Great Luang Por Noi, previous abbot of Wat Srisa Tong, who bestowed the Wicha onwards to Luang Por Pin in its entirety.

The Wicha Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw of Wat Srisa Tong is perhaps the most famous of all temples in Thailand, with its lineage of great Guru Master Sorceror-Monks who have practiced this Wicha in lineage transmission since ancient times. Both Luang Por Noi, and Luang Por Pin enjoy top status for Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw amulets, as does the temple of Wat Srisa Tong itself. When we speak of the Pra Rahu Sema Glab amulet in carved coconut shell, one immediately comes to mind with the names of Luang Por Noi, and Luang Por Pin synonymously.

If you feel that your Fate and Horoscope is not Auspicious, then it could be that Pra Rahu is interfering. You can solve this problem by making Bucha offerings to Pra Rahu every Wednesday;

Light 10 black incense sticks (‘Toop’ in Thai), and five types of black offerings (e.g. black sticky rice, black jelly grass drink, black semolina or sago pudding and the like).

12 repetitions of the Kata Bucha Pra Rahu are to be Chanted;

Idtipiso Pakawaa Pra Rahuu Sataewaa Samaa Winyaana Idtipiso Pakawaa Putta Sangmi

The rear face has inscriptions of Kata Akom in Lanna Agkhara Sanskrit Script.

Kata Surya Buppaa (to be chanted in the daylight)

Gusaedto Ma Ma Gusaedto-dto Laalaa Ma Ma Dtolaamo Tolaamo Ma Ma Tolaamo Ma Ma Tolaamodtang Haegudti Ma Ma Haegudti

Kata Jantra Bupaa (to be chanted in the night time)

Yadt-thadtang Ma Ma Dtangthaya Dtawadtang Mamadtang Wadtidtang Saegaa Ma Ma Gaasaegang Gaadtiyang Ma Ma.Gaadtiyang Ma Ma Yadtigaa

When you begin to Bucha Rahu Deity, you should make the first ever session in the evening of a Wednesday (any time from 7 pm onwards). After you have done this once, you can make Bucha in the daytime if you wish, but the first time you must include the food offerings of black foods as well as the black incense. The second time onwards, only the incense is necessary in the daytime, if it is a lot of trouble to get the food offerings.

The Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw of Luang Phu Noi and Luang Por Pin, are the most prestigious of all in the eyes of the Pra Niyom Collector Community. The Rahu amulets of Wat Srisa Tong themselves were made by Artisans, who were devoted Looksit of Luang Por Noi, who were mostly immigrants from Vientiane, in Laos, who moved to Thailand during the early Ratanakosin Period of Thai History. Luang Por would then would distribute them back to the devotees for protection and Serm Duang (improve fate and destiny).

As the Lao artisans began to develop their skills and experience repeatedly carving the coconut shells, the design became ever more finely tuned and increasing in beauty, but due to the fact that there were a large number of artisans all making these carvings, the designs would be varied both in appearance of features, and in the quality and amount of detail.

Wat Srisa Tong

As the earthen foundations of the temple of Wat Srisa Tong were being dug for the building of the temple, a golden Buddha Head was discovered, and because of this, the Temple was first given the name 'Wat Hua Tong' which means 'Temple of the Golden Head'.

The word 'Hua' means 'head' in colloquial Thai, but for referring to a Sacred Image of a Deity or a Buddha (or a Monk), the word 'Srisa', which also means 'Head', in high speech, is preferred. So the name was then changed later to 'Wat Srisa Tong'

The first Abbot of the temple was Luang Por Dto, who was one of the Laoatian people who had immigrated from Vientiane. Luang Por Dtrai developed the temple continually. The Lao people who built the temple had many artisan who knew that Luang Por Dtrai had powerful Wicha Akom and the sectrets of the Laoatian Wicha Pra Rahu Om Jantr, and so they carved Rahu Amulets from one eyed coconut shells using the traditional Lao Artistic style, to give to Luang Por Dtrai for empowerment.

Over the years, Wat Srisa Tong grew constantly throughout the lineage of Abbots, from a small temple into a large impressive temple over the years. After Luang Por Dtrai's passing, he was succeeded by the new Abbot, Luang Por Dtan, who was succeeded by Luang Por Lee, who was then succeeded by Luang Por Tong, after which came Luang Por Choi, and then cam the fifth Abbot, Luang Por Noi Kantachodto.

It was the second Abbot, Luang Por Lee, who inherited and continued the Wicha Pra Rahu Om Jantr in the Lao tradition from Luang Por Dtrai. Luang Por Noi was also one of the Lao People of Srisa Tong municipality in Nakorn Chaysri, who during his time as a Buddhist Monk before becoming Abbot, was practicing at Wat Srisa Tong, and learned the Wicha of Luang Por Dtrai from Luang Por Lee, and ascended later to become the next Master Adept.

This adepthood was supported by a strong foundation in the Wicha Pra Rahu Om Jantr from Luang Por Noi's Father, who was also a Laymaster of Lao Sorcery too, and who made carved Rahu amulets and empowered them.

So Luang Por Noi got to learn this Wicha from his Father from a very early age, and this made him the perfect apprentice for Luang Por Lee to pass on his Wicha of the Pra Rahu Om Jantr Kala Ta Diaw. Luang Por Noi brought the Wicha Pra Rahu Om Jantr Gae Kala Ta Diaw begun by Luang Por Dtrai, passed to him through Luang Por Lee, to World Fame, through his higher development of the artistic features of the artisanry and design of the carved coconut shell images.

Luang Por Noi did this by raising a more stringent rule for the magical requirements in allowing only coconuts with one single eye to be used for the carving of the Rahu image.

Luang Por Noi then passed on in turn all of his accumulated knowledge and prowess and the secrets of empowerment of the Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw, to Luang Por Pin. It is then with Luang Por Pin, that the Wicha Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw was given to preserve and continue. Luang Por Pin then became the Master of the Wicha after the Passing of Luang Por Noi.

The Wicha continued on with the next abbot Luang Por Manich, who has also passed away in 2559 BE. We await the appearance of the next Master of the Wicha Rahu of Wat Srisa Tong, and hope to find and present as many examples of the amulets of this lineage as we can over the coming years, to collect and admire.
