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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSummary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003ePhra Rahu\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eAc Satien\u003c\/strong\u003e of Chiang Mai, from B.E. 2560 (2017).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front is made from \u003cstrong\u003eKala Ta Diao\u003c\/strong\u003e, the rare one eye coconut. It shows the face of Rahu, fangs bared, holding the moon below his mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is a \u003cstrong\u003ecopper rian\u003c\/strong\u003e. At its centre is a yant grid filled with sacred numerals. Rings of sacred inscriptions circle around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo materials. One purpose. To swallow bad luck and turn it into opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Background\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe eclipse deity.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver since, Rahu chases the Sun and the Moon across the sky. When he catches one, he swallows it. That is the eclipse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRahu in Thai belief.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAc Satien.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ac Satien of Chiang Mai is known among his followers for keeping practical Wicha alive. Methods meant for everyday life. Business. Travel. Difficult situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigins of the Material\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKala Ta Diao.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractitioners regard it as a natural fit for Rahu. Protective. Transforming. Able to absorb what is harmful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is a natural material, every piece differs. Colour, grain and surface vary from one to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopper.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yant and inscriptions on the copper back complete the piece. Rahu on one side. Sacred script on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlessings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving obstacles and swallowing bad luck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurning misfortune into opportunity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection from black magic, jealousy and hidden harm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKlaew Klaad: avoiding danger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWealth and success in business and trade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChok Larp: good fortune and unexpected help\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear it as a pendant, or carry it with you every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany devotees pray to Rahu on Wednesday night, the time traditionally given to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen not wearing it, keep it in a clean and respectful place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OOBThaiAmulets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48983643947145,"sku":null,"price":333.75,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/1831\/0793\/files\/ac-satien-rahu-one-eye-coconut-copper-rian.jpg?v=1794451162","url":"https:\/\/oobamulets.com\/products\/ac-satien-rahu-one-eye-coconut-copper-rian","provider":"OOBThaiAmulets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
