The First Issue Cast Crescent Moon Coin of Luang Phor Sok — BE 2465 (1922 CE)
Beyond invulnerability — the ancient art of lifting fate during life's darkest hours.
A shield for the body, a light for the spirit. The rarest and most sought-after amulet
of the Phetchaburi lineage, renowned for its all-encompassing protection:
good by day and night, good in rising and falling.
The Sacred Crescent (เหรียญหล่อจันทร์เสี้ยว รุ่นแรก) of Luang Phor Sok, Wat Pak Khlong Bang Krok,
created in BE 2465 (1922 CE), is the rarest and most sought-after amulet of this revered master.
Its primary powers focus on all-encompassing protection: Kong Krapan Chatri (invulnerability),
Klaew Klaad (evasion of danger), Maha Ud (imperviousness), and the unique ability to lift fate during
life's darkest periods. The crescent moon symbolizes growth toward perfection, while the rice sheaves
represent eternal abundance. Proper invocation requires reciting Namo Tassa 3 times, the primary Katha,
and maintaining righteous conduct according to the Five Precepts.
While famous for stopping weapons, the Sacred Crescent's true universal power lies in its ability to protect
the wearer day and night — specifically lifting the spirit during life's darkest downturns. This is the essence
of "พุทธคุณครอบจักรวาล" — all-encompassing Buddhist virtue.
The crescent shape represents a state of growing toward perfection. In times of darkness,
the moon provides light and coolness — keeping the mind calm, preventing rash decisions
that worsen bad luck. It symbolizes hope that darkness is temporary.
"Up" sustains prosperity when life is good. "Down" prevents total collapse when fate falls —
transforming heavy karma into light, helping survive astrological low years (ปีชง).
This dual protection is unique to the Sacred Crescent.
The Rice Sheaves (ช่อรวงข้าว) flanking the Yantra are not weapons — they are symbols of abundance,
ensuring the wearer never starves even during economic downturns. Rice represents sustenance,
wealth, and the fruits of honest labor.
The amulet's defensive capabilities were proven during World War II, when people sought Luang Phor Sok's
sacred objects for protection against violence and conflict. The primary emphasis is on
protection and evasion — the "hard power" aspects of the Sacred Crescent.
Kong Krapan Chatri
คงกระพันชาตรี
Bone-deep invulnerability against all weapons. Knives cannot cut, bullets cannot penetrate.
The wearer is believed to be protected from violent death. This is the "ความไม่ตาย อัตตะภาพ" —
the power of survival against physical harm.
[4]
The power to evade danger entirely — accidents that almost happen but don't. Like the slippery
crescent shape, the wearer slips past all harm. Danger is deflected before it can manifest.
[4]
Total imperviousness and all-round protection. Transforms heavy danger into light consequences —
cushioning the blow of fate. What should be fatal becomes merely inconvenient.
[4]
The amulet sends premonitory signals — a sudden startle or unease — before danger strikes,
giving the wearer time to prepare or retreat. Trust your instincts when wearing this amulet.
Destroys misfortune and evil obstacles that block progress, clearing the path for positive
opportunities to enter one's life. Removes curses, hexes, and accumulated bad karma.
[4]
Great authority and commanding presence. Enemies feel fear and respect, while allies feel
trust and devotion. Enhances leadership qualities and personal magnetism.

⚔ The Legend of the White Tiger (เสือขาว)
⚔ ตำนานเสือขาว
The bandit "White Tiger" (Suea Khao), a disciple of Luang Phor Ding of Wat Bang Wua, wore potent
protection amulets that made him invulnerable to all police gunfire. When authorities appealed to
Luang Phor Ding himself, the master declared that only one object could break his disciple's protection:
the Sacred Dagger (Krich) of Luang Phor Sok —
his sole equal among sorcerer-monks. Bullets inscribed with Luang Phor Sok's sacred script finally
ended the White Tiger's reign, proving that the Wat Pak Khlong lineage holds power superior to even
other high-level protections.

Sacred Prohibitions — ข้อห้าม
The amulet is an aid, not a substitute for righteous conduct. Misuse can cause the protection to fade or backfire.
Keep a "Cool Heart" (ใจเย็น) like the moon — calm, reflective, and compassionate.
Do not boast about the amulet's power or use it to bully others.
Humility preserves its efficacy. Pride invites karmic retribution.
Do not enter immoral establishments (สถานอโคจร) or engage in
violations of the Five Precepts while wearing the amulet.
Do not place the amulet below waist level. Remove before intimacy.
Never step over clothes lines or walk under hanging laundry.
Do not curse your parents. Filial piety (กตัญญู) is the foundation
of all spiritual power. Disrespect nullifies protection.
Do not charge money when using the amulet to help others.
Luang Phor Sok himself never took payment for his blessings.
Do not commit adultery (Third Precept). This is considered
the fastest way to nullify all sacred protections.
"The Sacred Crescent unites opposing forces — hard power for protection, soft power for compassion and fortune.
By maintaining a 'cool heart' like the moon, the wearer survives the 'heat' of bad fate."
