An early-mid era example of Luang Por Pina’s most Sacred and Powerful Daw Nai Pan Nai Pon Star Amulet – Sacred Karma Improving Lucky Star for Protection, Wealthy Fortunes, Status Increase, Promotion, and Auspicious Fate. This exhibit is a Pim Lek (small size) measuring 2.5 x 2 Cm. The five sided star face is painted red, and the eight sided star side is painted silver. This exhibit is especially desirable to collectors for the fact that this exhibit has almost a full set of Ploi Sek Gemstones on both sides, which is rare to see in this early-mid era model, for most examples of this Pim, are found without gemstones.
This is the two sided 5 and 8 Pointed Pentacle version, in red/silver painted Muan Sarn Sacred Powders wth Ploi Sek Maha Pokasap Gem inserts. This particular example has special Necromantic Powders stuffed into the edge of the amulet, and, as a Pim lek model, is not only suitable for men, but also a very recommendable model for lady devotees due to the smaller size.
It is very hard to find Daw Nai Pan Nai Pon amulets in a suitable size for ladies to wear.. It is in any case extremely difficult to find one of these amulets in any circumstances, but to find one with an almost complete set of gemstones is doubly lucky.
This exhibit is a Pim Lek (small size) measuring 2.5 x 2 Cm, and is a very early era model in pure muan sarn, made from a very highly concentrated admixture of sacred Necromantic and Magical powders.
The Daw Aathan Hnun Duang has different stars on each side, one as a 5 pointed star similar to the Military Star, and one in 8 pointed Pentacle similar to the Police Force star. Despite their importance for the meaning which is attributed for the Military and Police force, which was of course intentional, there are deep spiritual meanings imbued within the symbolism of each star design.
This amulet is commonly know for its Wealth Increasing Maha Lap Magick, but in truth, the amulet possesses an massive repository of attributed Buddhist Blessings of very sacred and Auspicious Influences on the Forces of Karma.
The amulet is recommended to be encased with,with the pendant ring at an angle, which is a tradition with the Dao Nai Pan Nai Pon, as was originally decreed with the first edition Mae Nuea Horm (Perfumed Mother) Lucky Star (‘Mae Nuea Horm’ 1st edition, was differentiated being somewhat Larger with a crescent moon below the star).
The base of the amulet has a special code stamp embossed into it by Luang Por Pina. The powers of the Daw Nai Pan Nai Pon are manyfold, but has a special ability given by Luang Por Pina which Luang Por Pina would say goes like this; ‘whoever is not straight with you and cannot be trusted, will be spotted and exposed by the Dao Nai Pan or the Mae Nuea Horm, if you wear it at an angle like this’
When understood, the meanings within the sacred Lucky Star Pentacle amulets of Luang Por Pina, are very extensive and comprehensive, and aligned to the focal points of Advanced Buddhist Vipassana Kammathana Practices, with the accompanyiing Miraculous Power of transformation that comes with the 40 Kammathanas.
Luang Por Pina is the deceased Abbot of Wat Sanom Lao in Sra Buri and was said to have possessed Abhinya Powers, and to have Mastered the 10 Kasina Powers of Elemental Magical Dominion.
It is said that he was able to read the minds and intentions of other Humans, and bring amulets to life with is Empowerment Methods, and that his amulets were able to give signs and also can be beseeched and prayed to for wish fulfilment (Sarapat Neuk). There are many stories of Miraculous Events occurring through his amulets.
The Daw Nai Pan Lucky Star is made from a mixture of Highly Sorcerous Ingredients, Herbal and Prai Necromantic Powders, which are both incredibly difficult to find and obtain, and also very easy to recognise their presence within the sacred Muan Sarn Powder mixture.
Those who have had an authentic Daw Aathan before their eyes, will be able to see instantly that this amulet is a very recognisable and distinguished exhibit with the clear to see presence of Luang Por Pina’s Sorcerous Muan Sarn Sarn Powders.
Below is a different model (Namely the Mae Nuea Horm First Edition Amulet), for you to enjoy looking at and for study.
The holes in the amulet also have meaning, some of the daw Nai Pan Nai Pon can be found to have gemstones (Ploi Sek) embedded within the indentations, which are even rarer to find.
This particular exhibit is a Classic Pim from the Early period of Making (Circa 2500), and also one of the highly Preferred ‘Pim Niyom’ Master Models and can be considered ‘Ongk Kroo’ (Teacher Reference Model) for a perfect reference comparison of authenticating other less recognisable Star amulets of lesser preference.
‘Ud Mai Gon Fa Pa’ (Wood from a tree that was truck by Lightning), and many Sacred Relics within its Sacred Powder Muan Sarn. Luang Por Pina’s Daw Nai Pan, exspecially this model above others, is now extremely rare and sought after.
Its price is constantly rising, because only a few hundred Daw Nai Pan are assumed to have been made in the early Era, and they are mostly all already in the possession of the Devotees, many of whom are high ranking Policemen, Army Officers and Top Doctors and Medics.
This model is an early edition which is evidend by its extreme dryness and the texture of the Muan Sarn Sacred Powders which reveal its age, and the authenticity of the amulet
The title of ‘Ongk kroo’ is fitting for this amulet, is for its easily recognisable features and Muan Sarn Powders allow one to easily distinguish the authenticity of any other exhibit when held side by side for comparison, making it a Master Key for teaching the eyes to recognise Luang Por’s famous Sacred Powders, as well as the effects of aging over the years, as to how discoloration and surface mildews should appear in a true authentic example of the Daw Nai Pan. Despite being a painted model, the edges of the amulet are highly visible to reveal the Muan Sarn Sacred Powders content and aging characteristics, and the true appearance of the Muan Sarn used by Luang Por Pina for these inimitable and famously powerful amulets
Luang Por Pina is known to have performed strange Magical feats in front of the eyes of his disciples many times, especially when devotees would ask him for an amulet. He would ask the devotee to lay down and open their eyes, and would take a handful of sand and pour it over their face, as they would hold the amulet in the hand.
But the sand would bounce back before it hit their eyes, and no matter how much was poured on the face, not a single grain of sand would be able to enter the eyes of the devotee, becoming repelled as if by a force field before it touched the eyes.

The Immortal Pra Somdej Pra Pilan - this exhibit being a very rare Pim Sum Pratu Niyom in Nuea Bailan (Black Grimoire Soot Powders), made during the final era of, and for Somdej Dto, released by Luang Por Pilan, of Wat Rakang. This exhibit is classified as 'Fang Kru' (placed in Chedi Stupa Burial), and is a very old amulet, of the times when all amulets were of the highest sacredness, and empowered with the magic resonating from the great purity of practice of their makers.
Of the 20 or so models found in the pantheon, some of the various Pim were placed in Kru Chamber in the Chedi Stupa, and others not, resulting in the pantheon being split into 'Fang Kru' (or 'Long Kru') and 'Mai Fang Kru' (alternatively, 'Mai Long Kru') depending on if the amulets came from the Chedi Burial from later release, or remain without Kraap Kru growths, having been distributed in the early distributions.
The Pra Pilan amulet (Votive Tablets), of Somdej Pra Puttajarn Tat (Pra Palad Pilan), Abbot in standing of the Great Temple of Wat Rakang Kositaram (Standing in for Somdej Dto Prohmrangsri, who was now old, tired, and approaching his death), is yet another immortally famous ancient amulet that is of immense historical and religious importance.‘Somdej Hmom Jao Tat’ (Luang Por Pilan), was born in the year 2364 BE, during the reign of his Majesty King Rama 2, and was the son a a family of regal courtiers within the Royal Palace (Wang Hlang), itself.
The Lanna Sorcery Free Ebook included, deals with Thai Occult traditions, and talismanic amulets of the folk of the Northern Lanna Regions, which have a rich cultural heritage deriving from a multitude of Ethnic Races and Cultures, with Animism being a strong influence on the magical symbolism found in Lanna Sorcery traditions.
The book is of interest to amulet collectors, anthropologists, and occultists, and to anyone who wishes to deepen their understanding of the beliefs of the people of Siam. We sincerely hope it expands your knowledge of the various regional Occult Traditions of Siam, and include these e-books as a heartfelt gift for for devoted interest in Thai Buddhist Amulets.
There are two different schools of belief as to when exactly the amulets were made, with some adhering to the belief they were made in the years between 2407 BE, with the second group believe the amulets to have been made in 2418 BE. This is a small but often discussed point of contention, which is where some people believe in the presence of Somdej Pra Puttajarn Dto in the blessing, and others, believe only Luang Por Pilan released them in 2415 or 2418, in Memorial of his Kroo Ba Ajarn’s passing away.
But both schools believe steadfastly, that the powders within the amulets are of both Luang Por Pilan, and posses those of Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto) Prohmrangsri. This is logical, as all Masters donate some of their own Muan Sarn Sacred Powders to their apprentices. It is however, despite differing schools of thought, when using logic, almost certain, and stands to reason, that they were made in 2407 BE, during the same year LP Pilan was elevated in status to ‘Pra Racha Pilan’, which is obvious reason for celebration with an edition of amulets, and which has always been ubiquitously expected by Thai Buddhist Devotees.
LP Pilan was ordained at Wat Pra Sri Radtana Sasadaram (Wat Pra Gaew temple of the Emerald Buddha), in the year 2385 BE. Somdej Pra Sangkarach, the Head Royal Monk of the Thai Sangha performed the Ordinaton, as his Upachaya Ordaining Officer.
Somdej Pra Puttajarn (Dto), who was the Abbot of Wat Rakang at the time, Was his Pra Gammawajajarn Prompting Officer. Once LP Pilan was ordained, he moved, and stayed with Somdej Pra Puttajarn Dto at Wat Rakang, at the side of his Kroo Ba Ajarn.
This of course, led to Luang Por Pilan becoming the closest first apprentice to Somdej Dto in this period of Somdej Dto’s Life, which was coming towards his twilight years, and he needed to pass on his Wicha to a successor. Luang Por Pilan embodied this expectation, and so he received the Wicha Pong Lob, secrets of making the 5 Sacred Powders of Somdej Dto used in the World Famous No 1 King of All amulets of the Benjapakee family, the Pra Somdej Votive Tablet.
Pra Luang Por Pilan, was Ex Abbot of Wat Rakang Kositaram and Prime Apprentice of Somdej Pra Puttajarn Dto (Wat Rakang Kositaram). Originator and collaborator with Somdej Dto for the making of the Immortally Famous Pra Pilan amulets.
In the year 2404 Pra LP Pilan was elevated to the status of ‘Prinya Jet’ in Pra Pariyattitam Dhamma Studies, which is the 7th of a total of 9 levels of academic prowess, and understanding in teaching and expounding the Dhamma. In the year 2407 BE, Luang Por Pilan received his officially Royal Bestowed title of Pra Kroo Pilan, with Royal Recognition of his Merits.
In the Year 2413 BE, LP Pilan became the Abbot of Wat Rakang, due to the fact that Somdej Dto himself was becoming very old and frail, and so the honor of overseeing the many duties of running the temple were given to Pra Luang Por Pilan, which was of course, a mark of honor to be chosen for this task.
In the year 2435, he was bestowed the Title of Pra Racha Kana (Bishop), and was given the duty of overseeing the temple of Wat Po Ta Tian (or; ‘Wat Chetupon Wimongkaram’), a temple that is in itself world famous, for its rare and powerful Pra Pid Ta Pong Graduk Phii amulets) Luang Por Pilan administrated the temple of Wat Chetupon Wimongkaram (Wat Po Ta Tian) up to his passing in 2443 BE.
The Pra Pilan Wat Rakang series of amulets, enjoy worldwide popularity, for the Stoic Belief in the Metta Mahaniyom, Kong Grapan powers, which they have acquired over the many many years of their existence. The Pra PIlan series has over 20 different models officially documented.
The Pra Pilan Wat Rakang amulets, are now truly becoming at least as difficult to find as the Pra Somdej Wat Rakang these days, making them a highly recommendable amulet to collect. This is of course, to evade the impossibility of finding one later, as well as to possess such a sacred amulet of world fame, renowned for its sacred powers. In addition, the amulets are seen in Thailand by many (such as ourselves as devotees, and high end showroom collectors , speculators, and curators), as a high return method of asset division.
This is because, to possess a Pra Pilan Wat Rakang Kositaram, is to possess something that increases in inherent value as time passes, and rarity increases, and whose price rises at a much faster rate (if look at a ten year period), than many other material assets, even Gold. The world population has increased so much the last half century, that it has made even editions that were made in numbers of 84,000, deplete and disappear from Public view in a matter of a few years. This has increased the rarity and value of Ancient Master-Class amulets immensely over the last few decades.
I myself (Ajarn Spencer Littlewood), do not hold monetary speculation as an interesting factor in the love and appreciation, and reverence for amulets, but must admit, that financiers, bankers, and investors, do use Thai Buddhist amulets as a method of asset division with incremental value, and, that the increment in value over the passage of time is faster than many other forms of asset division, such as gold bullion. I mention these factors, only for this reason, to explain just how varied the kinds of people are who collect amulets, ranging from those seeking Magical assistance, and Luck, through those whose Devotion to a certain Master is so great, that they wish to possess an amulet of their Master, right up toe the Curators and Museum collectors, and the Speculative Investors, who practice wise asset division, in times of financial crises, such as the Pre and Post Pandemic Era we have just experienced.
However, the author himself, can only see the sacred value of amulets, and the spiritual power they have, as a way to connect with and receive blessings from the Master, as well as the historical and curatorship value. The Sacred is to be revered and treasured, and in truth, all amulets are priceless, each being a part of the long and fascinating history of Thai Buddhist Amulets. It is no secret that the lineage of Somdej Dto, are among the most highly prized of all with true aficionados and devotees, and this is of course, why the Pra Pilan, also known as 'Pra Sorng Somdej' (The amulet of two Somdej Monks - meaning Somdej Dto, and LP Pilan.
