material

muan sarn

มวลสาร


The mass of sacred ingredients folded into an amulet's material: flowers from offerings, incense ash, fragments of older amulets, soil from significant sites, herbs gathered under prescribed conditions, a teacher's hair, or powder made by writing and erasing yant thousands of times. Batch documentation often lists its muan sarn in detail, because in the tradition's eyes the ingredients carry the object's biography.

Usage

The poster lists muan sarn gathered from more than a hundred temples.
