He spoke about a new nine-year Deva cycle and predicted that Jatukam Ramathep would once again become active among devotees during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe believed that, during this cycle, Jatukam would be especially sought after for support in wealth, opportunity and livelihood. I did not think too deeply about it at the time, but I kept a piece from this batch for myself and began wearing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my own experience, my business later grew to around twice its previous level. I introduced this edition to customers when it was still affordable, as I felt its ritual background and group of masters made it a meaningful piece to share.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrices for this batch have since risen around two to three times. As these pieces were obtained years ago, I am maintaining my earlier price so that more devotees may still have the opportunity to own and wear one. At the time of this posting, only three pieces remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease also note that the photograph shown is a condition guide. It is a photograph of one representative piece from the batch, used to keep the listing price reasonable. The amulet received will be from the same edition and in comparable condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhra Jatukam Ramathep from Wat Mahathat, Nakhon Si Thammarat, BE 2549, struck in copper and silver wrapped.
