Buchas (Statues)

Buchas are statues of Thai gods and spirits which have been empowered through many, many hours of chanting and meditation, often an order of magnitude greater than is required to consecrate an amulet. Functioning as spiritual batteries which give power and direction to any amulets in their presence, they are usually loaded with various sacred materials including herbal powders, coffin nails, and even fully consecrated amulets!
