Paya Tao Ruean Great Turtle amulet from Aged Reclusive Forest Lay Sorceror, Ta Poon 'Karavas Nai Dong' - The Turtle is made from Agate, and is immersed in Nam Man Nga Khaw Sek and Prai Oil Potion, with Ploi Nil Sek Gems and a Takrut Spell, for Maha Lap, Maha Pokasap, Long life, Auspicious Living, and Metta.

Very easily combined with other amulets, the Turtle does not clash with any other forms of Magic, and is passively compatible. A very cool Aura of energy is emanated from the amulet, generated from the immense power of Metta Mahaniyom, and Maha Pokasap magic within it.

Turtle amulets have of course the special magical quality of generating long life. All achievements will come steadily, if perhaps not rapidly but surely and secure growth will be certain.

The Tao Ruean, is a very special Turtle, for it represents the Lord Buddha in one of his past lifetimes, as he was born as a Turtle. It is recounted in the 'Ha Roi Chati' (500 Lives of Buddha) story. The Buddha was alive as a turtle, who lived on a desert island on top of a mountain, practicing purity and morality.

The turtle grew so large to be as big as the size of a house over the years. One day some sailors were shipwrecked on his island, and began to starve. They tried to eat the Areca nuts, which are of course inedible, and then when one of them died, they trussed the dead man up and roasted him to eat his flesh for survival.

But this did not feed them for long, and they began to starve again. As time passed and they got desperate and looked like they were going to begin killing each other and turn cannibal, the turtle looked down from the mountain and was filled with mercy. He thought 'I do not have anything to give these poop humans to eat, except for my own body. May i donate my large body and its meat for these humans to survive, and may i attain Nibbana one day for this deed.

The turtle then threw itself off the cliff, and fell bouncing down hitting the walls of the cliff, breaking its shell open, to land dead at the foot of the mountain on the beach in front of the sailors. The sailors then celebrated and paid respects to the great Paya Tao Ruean Turtle for his Mercy and Self Sacrifice, and survived until they were rescued by a passing ship.

When the people got safely back to port and came home, they began to fashion turtles from clay or metal or carved from wood and place as an object of reverence in their homes, to pay respect and as a memorial of the Paya Tao Ruean who saved their lives, and to remind them to practice compassion, and to keep them protected from Danger, and bring them Long Life.

Ta Poon is a reclusive Lay Master who has retreated to the forest and uses this name as an assumed name to avoid attention. He was blessed with being the apprentice of Luang Phu Suang, learning Wicha from him and a number of associated Adept Sorcerors, of both Ordained and Laymaster lineages. He recieved Wicha from a total of 295 different Adept Mages, Sorcerors, and Necromancers. The majority of his training however, came through the lower Northern Region of Thailand through the Luang Por Derm (Wat Nong Po) Lineage, and the Magical Master Lineage of Luang Por Tob of Wat Chon Daen.

When asked about the origins of his Manyfold, and Powerful Wicha, Ta Poon recounts of the time he was ordained as a Samanera, ordained by the Great and Mysterious Luang Phu Suang Tewada Len Din himself, and that he remained practiciing under the tutelage of Luang Phu Suang for a period of 15 years.

As Ta Poon was serving 9 years in the Army, as a Commander of a regiment in the three troubles Southern Islamic Provinces of Thailands border area, he was famous for his daring acts of running straight in through the hail of bullets coming at his regiment from the terrorist rebels, and would reach the terrorists without being harmed and take his pistol and shoot the terrorists in the head at point blank range. This was because of his use of Kong Grapan Chadtri and Klaew Klaad Spells which he had mastered.

As far as Wicha Metta Mahaniyom and Maha Sanaeh are concerned, Ta Poon had wives in every province through which he had traveled, or ever settled, and it is said that despite his old age, that, his last wife which he took was only 27 years old. This was as he was already at the ripe old age of 84 years old.

These days are however, over. He now lives secretly under an assumed nickname (Ta Poon) in the deep forest in the north eastern region near the border land areas of Thailand between Cambodia and Laos. Very few people know of his whereabouts, but those people still travel into the deep forest to find him and beseech him for his famously powerful magical Sorcery Spells and blessings. He still performs Holy Water Blessiings, Exorcisms, and creates special Takrut Spells and empowers an array of amulets for those who are able to find him, and are able to find his favor.

His Takrut empowered with Maha Ud Kong Grapan Chadtri Klaew Klaad, are normally requested by soldiers, and high-ranking police officers, who have been his devotees from the time when he was still a high-ranking officer in the army, fighting against the rebels in southern Thailand, and amazed them with his daring feats, under the protection of his special Adept Wicha.

Ta Poon does not allow his picture to be taken, and forbids it to any of the devotees who find the way to his whereabouts, to reveal his location to anybody in the outside world. He says, he is already bored of all of the confusion and greed in the world outside the forest.
