At the same time, he continued putting in his own effort. He actively pursued suitable positions and prepared carefully for the interview rather than simply waiting for something to happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEventually, an opportunity opened and he managed to secure an interview.

Her presence remained there because her remains had never left the place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter communicating with her during trance meditation, Por Sala Tan performed rites intended to help her move beyond her attachment to the cave. According to the account, she subsequently permitted part of her relic to become a \u003cstrong\u003evessel through which she could assist others and accumulate merit\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting Mae Yoni combines a relic medium, Por Sala Tan’s hand-drawn representation of the spirit, old Thai-Burmese ritual metals, cave soil, Nur Din and takruts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts traditional emphasis is \u003cstrong\u003ewish granting, Metta, Maha Saneh, favourable attraction and the opening of opportunities\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistorical Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe origin of this Mae Yoni began during one of Por Sala Tan’s journeys into the northern border regions in search of unusual sacred herbs and naturally occurring ritual materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the journey, he came across a cave and felt a persistent urge to enter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce inside, he sensed what he described as a particularly strong presence. Por Sala Tan settled into meditation and gradually entered a trance state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin that state, he perceived the figure of a woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough their communication, Por Sala Tan understood that she had originally come from \u003cstrong\u003eBurma\u003c\/strong\u003e and had died within the cave many decades earlier. Her remains were still there, and her spirit had continued lingering around the place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than immediately taking material from the site, Por Sala Tan first performed rites for the spirit. The purpose was to help release her attachment and allow her circumstances to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the tradition preserved with the artifact, the Mae spirit agreed that part of her relic could subsequently be used as a medium through which she could \u003cstrong\u003eassist devotees, receive dedication of merit and continue progressing spiritually\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis encounter became the origin of Mae Yoni.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigins of the Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most significant material is the \u003cstrong\u003erelic associated with the Mae spirit herself\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePor Sala Tan used this as the central medium and, relying upon what he remembered from the trance encounter, drew the appearance of the woman directly onto its surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surrounding metal was specially prepared from an old mixed-metal alloy. Materials reportedly included fragments from \u003cstrong\u003eold bells, alms bowls and aged sacred statues\u003c\/strong\u003e, with metals sourced from both Thailand and Burma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the old Burmese images were predominantly copper-based, contributing to the distinctive warm copper tone visible around the central relic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePor Sala Tan intentionally incorporated Burmese materials because of the spirit’s Burmese origin. To strengthen this geographical connection further, \u003cstrong\u003esoil from the cave and the Burma border region\u003c\/strong\u003e was collected and incorporated into his own sacred mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse was subsequently prepared with Nur Din and embedded takruts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRitual\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Mae Yoni belongs to Por Sala Tan’s spirit-medium tradition, where the physical artifact is prepared only after communication and ritual agreement with the associated presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe important stage occurred inside the cave itself, where Por Sala Tan entered trance and perceived the Mae spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter performing rites intended to release her attachment to the location, he prepared the relic as a medium rather than simply treating it as an ordinary ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe old metals were melted and combined to create the surrounding alloy. \u003cstrong\u003eMetta See Peng\u003c\/strong\u003e, sacred soil and Por Sala Tan’s own prepared materials were incorporated according to the intended wicha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back was completed with Nur Din and several takruts before the artifact underwent its final ritual preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this form, Mae Yoni became both a representation of the woman Por Sala Tan encountered and a physical medium associated with her continuing merit-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlessings and Effects\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMae Yoni is principally associated with \u003cstrong\u003eMetta, Maha Saneh, wish granting and favourable attraction\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts traditional qualities include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egreater receptiveness and goodwill from others;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epersonal attraction and social charisma;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efavourable responses during meetings or negotiations;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eopening opportunities in employment and business;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eassistance in bringing suitable people into one’s path;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esupport when pursuing a realistic personal wish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wish-granting aspect should not be understood as passive fortune. Within Por Sala Tan’s practice, assistance creates the strongest conditions when the keeper is already making an effort towards the same objective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this sense, Mae Yoni is traditionally regarded as helping to \u003cstrong\u003eopen the road rather than walk it for the keeper\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModern Application\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMae Yoni is particularly relevant to situations where success depends upon \u003cstrong\u003epeople, timing and opportunity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor business owners and salespeople, its Metta and Maha Saneh qualities are traditionally sought for customer receptiveness, smoother conversation and stronger interpersonal connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor employment, it may be approached when seeking interviews, promotions, new positions or assistance from people capable of opening a useful door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts attraction aspect also extends to social and relationship matters, where the emphasis is upon becoming more noticeable, approachable and favourably received.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor wish-making, the intention should be clear and realistic, followed by practical action towards achieving it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePhysical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artifact has an oval form with a warm copper-toned mixed-metal surround. At the centre is the pale relic medium upon which Por Sala Tan \u003cstrong\u003ehand-drew the female figure he remembered seeing during trance\u003c\/strong\u003e, surrounded by additional handwritten sacred markings. Traces of green and darker ritual material remain around the central section, while the surrounding alloy retains the irregular surface expected from its mixture of older metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is substantially different in character. It is covered with the prepared \u003cstrong\u003eNur Din and sacred soil mixture\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating an earthy brown surface into which \u003cstrong\u003ethree metal takruts\u003c\/strong\u003e have been embedded. The central takrut is longer, flanked by two shorter scrolls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handmade construction is especially evident in this piece: the drawing, metal surface, soil mixture and placement of the takruts were individually prepared rather than produced as a uniform factory-made object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended Pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMae Yoni may be carried alone when the principal intention concerns \u003cstrong\u003eMetta, Saneh, relationships, employment or wish granting\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor business and commercial use, it may be paired with Nang Kwak to place greater emphasis upon customers and trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor career advancement or dealings with senior people, pairing with a respected monk or Buddha-form amulet can provide a complementary emphasis upon baramee, stability and clear judgement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePersonal Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this Mae Yoni particularly interesting to me is that its image is not simply a generic representation of a female spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to its history, \u003cstrong\u003ePor Sala Tan actually went into trance and saw the Mae spirit inside the cave\u003c\/strong\u003e. The woman depicted on the front was subsequently drawn according to what remained in his memory from that encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice of materials was equally deliberate. Because the spirit was understood to have come from Burma, Por Sala Tan incorporated old Burmese metals and material from the border region rather than relying entirely upon his usual mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis creates a close relationship between the \u003cstrong\u003espirit, her place of origin, the cave relic, the drawing and the physical materials of the artifact\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor me, that is what distinguishes this piece. It preserves the story of a specific encounter rather than simply representing the broader concept of Mae Yoni, and the hand-drawn image gives the artifact a particularly personal connection to Por Sala Tan’s original trance experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OOBThaiAmulets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48022066135177,"sku":null,"price":227.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/1831\/0793\/files\/11223344.jpg?v=1787800886","url":"https:\/\/oobamulets.com\/products\/por-sala-tan-965","provider":"OOBThaiAmulets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
