Sacred Craftsmanship

An exquisitely hand-carved Yin Tong, created from Nga Chang and soaked in concentrated Nam Man Wahn Dok Thong, a traditional sacred herbal oil associated with Maha Saneh, romantic attraction and Metta Maha Niyom.

Each Yin Tong is individually handmade from carefully prepared sacred materials. Natural variations in texture, colour and form make every piece unique.

Personal Experiences Shared by Luksits

Among followers of Arjan Note, his sacred creations were particularly appreciated for their association with traditional Lanna Wicha, especially those concerning Metta Maha Niyom, Saneh and personal influence.

His handmade Si Pueng and herbal preparations developed a reputation among close Luksits for their limited production and careful preparation.

Some followers regarded these items as particularly meaningful when seeking improvements in personal relationships, communication and interactions with others.

A Singaporen follower of Arjan Note shared that he has given a couple of Yin Tong by Arjan Note to few of his close friend. Everyone comes back with positive experiences. Many said the ease of talking to people, people will tend to be listening. The attraction of people to users in fact help them out in their day to day.

What I find especially interesting about this Yin Tong is its connection to the craftsman's family.

His father produced sacred talismans for Kruba Nanta, while the son continued the same tradition for later masters, including Arjan Note.

Summary

This Yin Tong by Arjan Note of Wat Pong Sanuk Nuea combines traditional Lanna craftsmanship with Northern Thai Saneh practices.

Hand-carved from Nga Chang by a second-generation craftsman, the piece was subsequently immersed in concentrated Nam Man Wahn Dok Thong.

Traditionally associated with Maha Saneh, romantic attraction and Metta Maha Niyom, this Yin Tong also represents the continuation of an established Lanna carving tradition.

Historical Background

Phra Kritsada Khantiko (Arjan Note) – Wat Pong Sanuk Nuea

Phra Kritsada Khantiko, widely known as Arjan Note or AC Nuad, was a respected Lanna monk associated with Wat Pong Sanuk Nuea in Lampang Province.

B.E. 2527–2569 (1984–2026)

He belonged to a younger generation of Northern Thai practitioners who continued traditional Wicha involving sacred inscriptions, protective rituals, herbal preparations and talisman consecration.

His teachings were associated with the lineage of Kruba Nanta, widely acknowledged as the greatest Northern Thai (Lanna) master of the Phra Rahu wicha, protection and spiritual authority.

Arjan Note became known for his Lanna-style Sak Yant, including red-ink inscriptions prepared with sacred herbal oils and ritual compounds associated with older Burmese Weizza traditions.

He also produced Phra Rahu, Wa Tanoo, Yin Tong and handmade Si Pueng.

His Si Pueng preparations were especially appreciated among followers interested in Maha Saneh and Metta Maha Niyom. Some batches were reportedly prepared in extremely small quantities, reflecting the personal attention given to their production.

Arjan Note passed away in B.E. 2569 (2026).

Among close disciples, he was remembered for his spiritual guidance, compassion and willingness to assist individuals experiencing personal difficulties.

Kruba Nanta and the Lanna Carving Tradition

Kruba Nanta Nantabunno was highly respected within Northern Thai sacred traditions for his knowledge of Phra Rahu Wicha.

His work was particularly associated with the two manifestations of Rahu:

• Suriyaprapha: Associated with the Sun.

• Janthraprapha: Associated with the Moon.

Traditional accounts describe his use of sacred chanting and astrological timing, including solar and lunar eclipses.

The father of the craftsman responsible for this Yin Tong specialised in producing Phra Rahu carvings and other sacred objects for Kruba Nanta.

His son subsequently inherited these techniques, continuing the family's craftsmanship for later generations of Lanna masters.

Origins of the Materials

Nga Chang

The Yin Tong was individually carved from Nga Chang, a material traditionally valued in Thai sacred craftsmanship for its smooth texture and suitability for intricate hand-carving.

Its natural pale appearance allows the delicate intertwined figures and fine details to remain clearly visible.

Wahn Dok Thong – The Golden Flower Herb

Wahn Dok Thong is a well-known sacred herb in Thai attraction folklore, traditionally associated with Maha Saneh and Metta Maha Niyom.

Its name translates approximately as Golden Flower Herb.

Within Thai folklore, the flower was believed to possess an alluring fragrance capable of encouraging romantic attraction and desire.

Some traditional accounts even describe families removing its flower buds before they opened because of its reputation for stimulating romantic interest.

Beyond romantic attraction, Wahn Dok Thong was also associated with popularity, goodwill and business prosperity.

Shopkeepers sometimes planted it near their premises in the belief that it would attract customers and encourage favourable relationships.

The herb was traditionally incorporated into sacred oils, Si Pueng and amulet preparations.

For this Yin Tong, concentrated Nam Man Wahn Dok Thong was used to enhance its traditional Saneh associations.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Ritual

The Yin Tong was prepared through traditional hand-carving followed by immersion in concentrated Nam Man Wahn Dok Thong.

Within Lanna Saneh practices, Yin Tong represents the union of two individuals, symbolising affection, attraction and emotional closeness.

The addition of Wahn Dok Thong oil complements these associations with traditional Metta Maha Niyom and Maha Saneh properties.

The piece belongs to the sacred-object tradition associated with Arjan Note, whose practices frequently combined Lanna Wicha with herbal preparations.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Personal Notes

What makes this Yin Tong particularly interesting is its connection to two generations of Lanna craftsmen.

The father was responsible for carving sacred talismans for Kruba Nanta, while his son inherited the same skills and continued producing pieces for later masters, including Arjan Note.

Each carving reflects the patience and craftsmanship involved in preserving this traditional art.

Combined with the use of concentrated Wahn Dok Thong oil, the Yin Tong represents both the sacred Saneh practices and craftsmanship of Northern Thailand.

For me, its appeal extends beyond its traditional attraction properties. It is also a meaningful representation of Lanna craftsmanship passed down from father to son.
