Por Sala Tan

This piece by Por Sala Tan represents one of his most advanced combinations of natural relics and ritual power. The top section is carved from Suer gum bone, shaped into a fearsome head to embody the raw essence of the tiger spirit.

In Thai wicha, tiger relics are associated with authority, command, and the ability to dominate hostile forces. Below, the foundation is constructed from Wa Tanoo horn struck by lightning—a rare relic known as kwai fa-par. Lightning-struck horn is seen as a vessel charged with celestial fire, carrying an unpredictable but decisive force that burns away obstacles.

Binding these two elements together are takrut nip kasathon sheets, received from Kruba Intha, which are used for harmonisation. The takrut integrates the upper tiger bone and the lower relic horn into a unified network. This combination is aligned with the Na-Ma-Pa-Ta syllabic formula, an esoteric current in Southeast Asian occultism believed to create an internal circuit of spiritual electricity. Within this network, the tiger’s essence provides the force of dominance, while the buffalo horn provides the grounding of thunder energy.

The result is an amulet that produces a sharp, electrical presence. It does not simply radiate power; it strikes, disorienting or scattering those who intend harm to the wearer. The relic was historically used in ceremonies where shamans sealed entire villages during vulnerable times, particularly during the 7th lunar month, when wandering spirits were believed to roam freely. In such rituals, its energy formed an invisible perimeter—like a storm field—that prevented spiritual intrusion.

Today, it carries the same dual function: protection against hostile energies, and the ability to overwhelm opposition with an electric essence that mirrors a lightning strike. In practical life, it is worn for victory in conflicts, command over difficult situations, and protection against both human and unseen adversaries.
