From Ugly Duckling to a Swan


Sharing a story of this above boy that was found by Archan Nick in a pile of already burnt joss paper. It was burnt together with large amounts of joss paper meant for its owner after its owner has passed away. However, it managed to survive the mass burning although it has suffered some burns on the base. Archan Nick decided to take it back to give it a new lease of life.


After some tedious polishing, Archan Nick added some yants around its body. However, it still had scars of the burnt marks it suffered and Archan Nick decided to spend some time to learn something he has never done before to try and help it look better.



 Here in these photos, we can see the 4-step process from start to finish. Archan Nick specially took some time to learn from a friend on the art of gold-foil pasting for buchas. He then meticulously ensured a good job was done to give this boy a new coat of gold. Now it looks lively and glowing, but just needs the most important step now, to give it the power it deserves.



Here we see Archan Nick stuffing up the base of this boy with many ingredients. Cemetery soils, holy wax, bone ashes, incense ashes, his Takrut Phong Prai Pan Pii and also a Loop Om Phong Prai Pan Pii. After all these was done, Archan Nick continued chanting the boy for many nights before a final blessing ceremony during one of the cemetery trips organized with some devotees. The revival and transformation of this boy is then officially completed! From an abandoned boy who survived a mass burning to a powerful and golden boy!
