The Takrut is a form of Talisman or Amulet, which dates back for Centuries, and was originally popular as a Kong Grapan Chadtri and Klaew Klaad Protection amulet for Warriors. The Takrut, is in essence a Scroll Spell made using the Inscription of Sacred Geometry Design, Numerology, Pictorial Images, and Magical Khom Agkhara Lettering.
The materials used for Takrut were and still are manyfold, and could be made of gold, silver, or bronze metallic foil, bamboo, wood, animal skin, or even parchment paper. Some Takrut are not scrolls,and can be made from solid objects, such as a piece of wood, coral, or other sacred substance.Some were covered with cord wrapping and lacquered (Dtak Chueak Long Rak). These scrolls would then either be worn by threading a cord through them (for in olden times there was no steel capped transparent tube or waterproof casing), and sometimes, inserted within a protective exterior.
Some Takrut are also made from Sacred or Magical Substances, such as ‘Mai Phai Dtan’ Solid Bamboo Anomaly, or ‘Mai Phai Ruak’ ‘Scalded Bamboo’. Takrut are seen to be made using various animal parts such as Goose Bone, or Cordiceps Cicadas.
