Besides the annual ritual of worship to resolve Zodiac Conflict Year (Pee Chong), the belief in wearing amulets or sacred pendants is another highly popular method for averting misfortune. Here are the tips for wearing amulets and talismans to enhance fortune and counteract the Zodiac Conflict Year.
1. Wear amulets or talismans Made from sacred materials called "Mek Pat" and "Mek Sit," these substances are empowered by highly skilled monks with strong Buddhist magic, capable of elemental transformation. The "Mek Pat" material can change its color and elemental state by itself.
The "Mek Sit" material contains gold, giving it a yellow color with greenish iridescence, resembling the wings of a beetle.
The "Mek Pat" material appears dark with a glossy, shimmering surface. Some pieces look like shiny metal, others like glass coating. It is hard but brittle.
How to identify For both materials, "Mek Pat" and "Mek Sit," when the surface is cleaned with lime juice, the texture turns a silvery white. If left exposed, the surface will revert to a darker color as before.
Famous "Mek Pat" amulets include the "Phra Pidta" and "Klab Bua Luang" by Luang Pu Boon from Wat Klang Bangkaew.
The rarer "Mek Sit" amulets include the "Phra" and talisman spheres by Luang Pho Thap from Wat Anong, and the "Mek Sit" amulet from Wat Tham Khun Khaen.
2. Worship Rahu Buddha Image The Rahu Buddha image is believed to dispel evil and turn misfortune into prosperity and progress. Examples include carved coconut shells worn as pendants by Luang Pho Noi from Wat Srisathong, and Luang Pho Kring from Wat Pho.
3. Use the "Sadung Klap" amulet This amulet is believed to possess the power to reverse bad luck into good fortune, such as the "Bald Head Sadung Klap" amulet by Luang Pu Boon from Wat Klang Bangkaew.
4. Use coins or Buddha yantras with "Yantra Duang" (circle yantra) Whether it is the "Buddhalai Yantra" or "Sukittima Yantra," these yantras help alleviate burdens and transform difficult life situations to better ones. They possess strong powers of charm and popularity and support wealth fortune. Examples include the "Phra Pidta" with small "Yantra Duang" on the back or "Sukittima Yantra," by Luang Pu To from Wat Pradoochimplee.
5. Amulets containing powders representing the 12 zodiac animals From Wat Bot, these amulets suit all zodiac signs and bring continuous success throughout the year without misfortune. Examples include the "12 Zodiac Powder" amulet by Luang Pu Thian from Wat Bot.
However, wearing an amulet associated with one's birth day also helps. Above all, one must maintain moral precepts, regularly chant, and meditate. Merit will support and lead to prosperity.
