Personal Notes

Of all the Wicha I have come across, Ac Satien's Sa Ta Pa Wa, Rahu and Payakaokam is the one I return to most.

Before business matters. Before overseas trips. Before big decisions. His items always saves the day, during times of bad business when every other amulet seems to fail Ac Satien items always seem to bring results.

I believe this is so as his items are mostly Deva based and lower level Devas jus tlike my beloved Mae Pim connect with us easier.

What I like about this Rahu is that it brings two materials together. One eye coconut on the front. Copper on the back. This match of elements shows careful thinking before consecrating any Amulet

Summary

This is a Phra Rahu by Ac Satien of Chiang Mai, from B.E. 2560 (2017).

The front is made from Kala Ta Diao, the rare one eye coconut. It shows the face of Rahu, fangs bared, holding the moon below his mouth.

The back is a copper rian. At its centre is a yant grid filled with sacred numerals. Rings of sacred inscriptions circle around it.

Two materials. One purpose. To swallow bad luck and turn it into opportunity.

Historical Background

The eclipse deity. In the old legend, Rahu drank the nectar of immortality by trickery. The Sun and the Moon saw him and told the gods. His body was cut in two. But the nectar had already reached his head, so he could not die.

Ever since, Rahu chases the Sun and the Moon across the sky. When he catches one, he swallows it. That is the eclipse.

Because he has no body, the Sun and the Moon always slip back out. Darkness never lasts. This is why Thai devotees turn to Rahu when life feels blocked. He takes in the darkness, and the light returns.

Rahu in Thai belief. In Thai astrology, Rahu rules Wednesday night. He is linked with hidden forces, sudden changes and reversals of fortune. People seek him when business slows for no reason, or when bad luck keeps repeating.

Ac Satien. Ac Satien of Chiang Mai is known among his followers for keeping practical Wicha alive. Methods meant for everyday life. Business. Travel. Difficult situations.

His best known teaching is Sa Ta Pa Wa. It is linked to the baramee of Bo Bo Aung, the legendary Burmese Weizza. Rahu appears again and again in his work.

Origins of the Material

Kala Ta Diao. A normal coconut has three eyes. A coconut with only one eye is rare. In Thai Wicha it is called Kala Ta Diao, and it has long been prized for Rahu amulets.

Practitioners regard it as a natural fit for Rahu. Protective. Transforming. Able to absorb what is harmful.

Because it is a natural material, every piece differs. Colour, grain and surface vary from one to the next.

Copper. The back is a copper rian. Copper has a long place in Thai amulet making. It is durable, and it takes on a warm natural tone as it ages.

The yant and inscriptions on the copper back complete the piece. Rahu on one side. Sacred script on the other.

Blessings

How to Wear

Wear it as a pendant, or carry it with you every day.

Many devotees pray to Rahu on Wednesday night, the time traditionally given to him.

Some of Ac Satien's followers also keep their Rahu on the altar. They write their name or their wish on a piece of paper, place the Rahu over it and pray for the obstacle to clear.

When not wearing it, keep it in a clean and respectful place.
