Wau Thanu & Khwai Thanu - The Best of Guardian amulet

Wau Thanu is an ancient amulet which is very well known in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. People use Wau Thanu amulet to guard and watch over their farms and homes. Moreover, Wau Thanu can protect worshiper from harm, black magic and many bad things. Nowadays, Wau Thanu amulet has been created not just for protection purposes.  This powerful being is also blessed with supernatural power for wealth fetching and good fortune too in this era because creators would like to help worshiper from poverty which is one of the biggest problems presently.

Wau Thanu amulet can divide in different kinds following:

1. Wau Thanu Thong, made from sacred metals such as nails from coffin, “Lek Khanun” (nails that are used to knock into the head of corpse), copper, tin, coin in corpse’s mouth and other materials mixed together. When the creation of the amulet is completed, the creator will write holy character and Yant around Wau Thanu amulet.

2. Wau Thanu Khee Phueng is made from magical lip waxes such as lip wax from corpse’s mouth that died by accident or by drowning. The creator will then mixed the lip waxes with hairs of corpse and other sacred masses. After that, he will burn the masses until it reduces to powder and mix with ashes of a burnout pyre from 7 cemeteries. Finally, the creator will mold to it to become Wau Thanu and bless with special magic to activate it to become spiritually alive.

3. Wau Mai Phai is the temporal amulet that creator will make in emergency situation. Creator makes Wau Thanu Mai Phai from bamboo that bestrides the road. Creator will cut the bamboo within a single period of time and to form a shape known as Wau Mai Phai. While cutting, he would hold his breath and recite “Namo Tassa”. After that, creator will weave the bamboo to activate the amulet to come alive, spiritually charged.

In addition, the important sacred material that every Wau Thanu should have is “Krung Phutsaa”  It is taken from “Krung” (lac insect) that stick on the bough of monkey apple tree facing the East.

Moreover, Wau Thanu is the best of protective amulet. It is the greatest in the use for destroying the enemy too. In the past, magical expert could order Wau Thanu to harm and destroy the enemy. If it happened that the enemy is not a magical expert, his life will be endangered & possibly perished from the attack. Interestingly, if the enemy is a magical expert, he will launch his own Wau Thanu to fight against the other. However, if you want your Wau Thanu to be more powerful, you should worship it in right way. You should not place Wau Thanu with Buddha amulet. Moreover, you should make tiny stable to keep your Wau Thanu and offer it with water and grass everyday or Buddhist holy day.
