Master: Archan Soon Thong
Year: BE 2557 (2014)
Archan Soon Thong’s powerful bia gae (挡降贝) rigged in brown thread and with beautifully done hand-engraved yants on the reverse. This piece was re-blessed again recently in a Wai Kru ceremony by Archan Soon Thong together with 19 monks.
Effects: Protection against bad luck, harm, black magic and evil influences. Immunity against poverty.
Archan Soon Thong is famous for his Nak Phat Thong wicha of blowing gold foil: in this blessing ritual, Archan will hold a stack of gold foil paper on the devotee’s forehead, and then Archan will recite some blessing mantra and blow on the devotee’s forehead, and the gold foil in the folded paper will all magically disappear clean into the devotee’s face in one fell swoop!!
Archan Soon Thong inherited this very rare and difficult wicha from his late master LP Phet (who passed away at the age of 135 years).
Additional info:
Bia gae amulets, usually made from cowrie shells filled with mercury and takrut, are used to protect against evil spirits, black magic and evil forces.
For many centuries in the past, cowrie shells were used as money in different parts of the world, ranging from Africa, India, China and the Americas & Pacific Islands. The ancient Chinese character (古文) for money originated as a stylized drawing of a cowrie shell (貝); Chinese characters concerning money, property or wealth usually have this as a radical.
The word “gae” in bia gae means “to remedy or to solve” - bia gae amulets are also believed to solve poverty; It is believed that by keeping a bia gae amulet, one should always have enough food and other basic needs satisfied. In fact, bia gaes are also frequently used as wealth/luck amulets - it is quite common to find a bia gae embedded at the base of a wealth bucha.
