Two Major Categories
Thai amulets are generally divided into "Powder Based" and "Metal Based."
Powder Based
Beyond incense ash, Masters often inclusion:
- Wan (Holy Herbs): For charisma and healing.
- Old Amulet Fragments: To carry the lineage of previous Saints.
Metal Based: The Art of Nawa (9 Metals)
Nawa is not just one metal but an alloy of Gold, Silver, Copper, Tin, Lead, Zinc, Iron, and two other sacred metals in specific proportions.
Conclusion
The material is not just physical; it's a vessel for the Master's blessings.
