Yak Gra Den Amulet — Spirit-Imprinted Nga Chang Material with Tid Jai and Barang by Por Sala Tan

The Yak Gra Den is a spiritually potent amulet created from a rare natural phenomenon recognized within Northern Thai and Burmese forest traditions. The base material is nga Chang, a revered substance believed to capture and store spiritual energy when subjected to high-intensity contact with natural forces.

In occult lore from the Fang and border regions, it is said that during episodes of great rage—typically associated with unseen entities clashing in the forest—pieces of nga Chang become violently lodged into large trees. When a Yak Jinn (ยักษ์)—a warlike spirit entity—is involved in such an event, the energetic aftermath creates a rupture, and the essence of the jinn transfers into the nga that later breaks off. This natural collision, though seemingly physical, is deeply spiritual in nature, forming what is regarded as a naturally consecrated material—rare, unpredictable, and revered.

Unlike conventional amulets which are molded or pressed using castings, the Yak Gra Den was not designed in a factory process. The original nga Chang was recovered intact from the forest, its energy palpable even before consecration. Por Sala Tan, upon encountering this material, engaged in prolonged meditation to determine the nature of the spirit trapped within. Through trance, he received the vision of the Yak Gra Den, and then proceeded to hand-carve the figure exactly as seen—not imagined or stylized, but transmitted through spiritual perception.

The rear of the piece features a layered insertion of Tid Jai and barang materials.

• Tid Jai, known in Thai spiritual science for its role in energetic equilibrium, was used to stabilize the forceful and aggressive power of the Yak Jinn. This ensures the user gains strength and protection without losing balance or control.

• Barang substances—including materials typically used in charm and wish-enhancing amulets—were blended into the back. This creates a dual-force: one side protects, the other attracts luck, status, and favorable outcomes in negotiations, social standing, and even personal magnetism.

The Yak Jinn, in particular, is not a passive guardian. In many traditions, Yak spirits were once ancient rulers or cosmic warriors who now serve as protectors of dharma or occult knowledge. In this case, the jinn bound to the amulet exhibits traits associated with:

• Confronting betrayal or psychic attack

• Pushing back against hidden enemies or slander

• Enhancing baramee (spiritual command or presence)

• Helping the wearer gain dominance in competitive environments—whether in business, politics, or spiritual hierarchy

Because of its dual-natured composition—a naturally occurring spiritual event, then refined through trance-carving and energetic enhancement—this piece sits between the worlds of ritual amulet and forest relic. It is not mass-produced. It is a one-off artifact of both spiritual violence and harmony, calibrated to aid the modern practitioner who must navigate unseen forces in daily life.

"For serious spiritual practitioners, collectors of natural-occult crossover pieces, or those in high-stakes positions—this is a rare tool that offers not just protection, but authority, magnetism, and energetic retaliation when wronged."
