Mae Poon Sup by Por Sala Tan – Cambodian Mother-Spirit Guardian for Guman Altars

This Mae Poon Sup crafted by Por Sala Tan draws upon one of Cambodia’s most enduring spirit legends—a devoted female spirit whose protective nature continues even after death, much like Thailand’s Mae Nak. In Cambodian lore, Mae Poon Sup is known as a guardian mother-spirit: protective, loyal, and deeply attentive to the beings under her care. Por Sala Tan channels this nature into a form specifically meant for those who keep guman or multiple spirit items at home, giving them a steady maternal figure who manages, organises, and empowers the energies around them.

The amulet is built using paneang as the main body, a traditional medium used for binding strong spirit forms. The back contains na par bone relics, chosen for their ability to anchor a maternal guardian spirit and give her a stable spiritual “seat.” Por Sala Tan, experienced in handling relic-based energies from the caves and forests of the north, works these materials in a way that allows Mae Poon Sup to enter cleanly and remain active without scattering her presence.

To finalise the binding, he adds corpse hairs and cremation ash, a classical Cambodian method that creates a complete spiritual foundation. These elements are not meant for shock value—they function as the physical memory needed for a spirit to recognise the vessel as its home. When used properly, they help the spirit settle, communicate, and act more clearly.

Three takruts are inserted to harmonise the internal forces. Each has a purpose:

• One anchors the spirit,

• One stabilises her interaction with guman,

• One balances the entire energy field of the piece.

Por Sala Tan follows the old method of binding one spirit to one amulet, ensuring that Mae Poon Sup knows her exact role and identity. This eliminates confusion or energy overflow—something common in poorly made prai items. The result is a controlled, focused presence that works with precision.

In real use, Mae Poon Sup acts as a guardian of guman. She keeps their energy steady, empowers their work, and ensures they act in the interest of the owner. Many who place her on their altar report an immediate shift: the space becomes calmer, results become more consistent, and the behavior of their guman feels more organised. Her protective nature also extends to the household—softening conflicts, stabilising finances, and improving the flow of day-to-day fortune.

Her old-school rope wrapping reflects Cambodian craftsmanship and the traditional way powerful spirit items were sealed and protected. It gives the piece both structural and symbolic integrity.

This Mae Poon Sup by Por Sala Tan is more than a prai charm—it is a mother-spirit designed to guide, protect, and empower the spiritual ecosystem around her, making her one of the strongest support pieces for collectors or households with multiple guman.
