Authentic Mae Hong Prai amulet , consecrated by the very venerable Luang Phor Pinak of Wat Shenom Lau , in Saraburi province.
This ancient and powerful amulet depicts a stylized human skull with deliberately rough and expressive features, typical of traditional Mae Hong Prai. The inlaid eyes (red and black sacred seeds) and the intentionally unsettling appearance are not decorative, but rather part of a precise esoteric code linked to spirits and invisible forces.
Mae Hong Prai are renowned in Thai magical tradition for their effectiveness in powerful charm , attraction, natural authority, and protection against negative influences. They are often associated with ancient magical practices and rituals for controlling unstable energies.
This piece is presented in a custom-made reliquary, allowing for safe storage and transport.
About the Venerable Luang Phor Pinak
The Venerable Luang Phor Pinak was born in 1903 in Udon Thani, under the name Tawaj Hansak Likit. From a very young age, he showed a deep interest in Buddhism and mystical sciences, entering monastic life at the age of nine at Wat Nang Tai, then headed by Luang Phor Xing.
Over the years, he received instruction from several renowned masters, including Luang Phor Mang and Luang Phor Fang. During times of war, he traveled extensively in Burma, Laos, Cambodia, and India, deepening his spiritual and magical knowledge.
In 1943, he founded his first temple, Wat Tam Kiao, in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand, before establishing several other temples, including Wat Shenom Lau in Saraburi. He became extremely famous in Thailand for the numerous unexplained phenomena and spectacular successes attributed to his amulets, particularly those related to wealth and protection. Surprisingly, although Luang Phor Pinak was a renowned meditation master, close to both Luang Phor Moon and Luangta Mahabua, he primarily dedicated amulets of the Prai type, such as the Mae Hong Prai skull amulets, but also many other amulets with sometimes perplexing appearances (stars, penises, vaginas, etc.).
Luang Phor Pinak passed away in 2002. In accordance with his wishes, his body was neither cremated nor treated, but preserved in a meditative posture in the temple's chedi. Subsequent reports of phenomena considered miraculous followed. Ten years later, his body was moved to the temple's main viharn, further enhancing his spiritual reputation.
Wat Shenom Lau, an ancient temple dating back to the Ayutthaya period, was rediscovered and restored by Luang Phor Pinak in 1974, restoring its central place in local spiritual life.
