Background
Hun Phayon are among the amulets used in Thai occultism. Your owners can harness the power of black magic to protect themselves from damage. Black magic in this case is a form of witchcraft in which supposedly supernatural powers or evil spirits are used to manipulate people or events. The roots of Thai black magic lie in animism, the belief that everything, including animals, plants and inanimate objects, has a spirit.
