PENIS AMULETS FROM THAILAND
The Thai name for a penis amulet is palad khik, which means honorable
surrogate penis. They are worn by boys and men on a waist-string
under the clothes, off-center from the real penis, in the hope that
they will attract and absorb any magical injury directed toward the
generative organs. It is not uncommon for a man to wear several palad
khiks at one time, one to increase gambling luck, for instance,
another to attract women, and a third for invulnerability from bullets
and knives. With the exception of style 7 shown below, women in
Thailand do not generally wear palad khiks, nor is there a Thai
equivalent of the vulva amulet for them to use -- although a circular
disk amulet called a chaping is worn by young girls to protect their
genitals from evil forces.
The palad khik amulet is said to have originated in the Shiva linga of
India and to have been imported to Thailand by Cambodian monks in the
8th century AD. Early styles of palad khik bear inscribed invocations,
entreaties, and praises to Shiva later ones combine these with
interlineated invocations and praises to Buddha modern ones bear
uniformly Buddhist inscriptions, invariably written in an old form of
script that cannot be read by contemporary Thais.
Palad khik amulets carved from wood, bone, or horn are made by monks
who specialize in their manufacture, and the efficacy of a given
amulet is dependant on the charisma and reputation of its creator. The
lettering of the inscriptions is a matter of serious ritual and can
take several days to complete. Cast metal palad khiks do not always
bear inscriptions, but they may carry the additional symbolism
embodied in an animal holding the penis.
INLINE
Penis amulet 1 is 1 1/2 long and cast in bronze. It is in the form
of an erect penis with the crouching rear quarters of a lion, its tail
arched over its back to form a loop for hanging. It is decorated with
Buddhist motifs and ancient Thai lettering.
The crouching aminal design is reminiscent of penis amulets of the
late Roman era, but there is a distinctly Asian character to the
ornamentation and lettering.
INLINE
Penis amulet 2 is 1 1/2 inches long and cast in sterling silver. It
is also available in bronze. This amulet depicts Hanuman, the Monkey
God of the Hindus, crouched upon an erect penis, his tail arched over
his back to form a hanging loop. When you turn the amulet over, you
can see that Hanuman has his own small erect penis on the underside of
the charm.
This is one of the CUTEST amulets i have ever seen in my entire life.
I was so taken with it that i was moved to KISS IT THREE TIMES --
right before the eyes of the rather amused old gay man who sold it to
me. This amulet is cute the way girls say the word cute: it is
Kee-yooooooooot. It is, in fact, adorable.
INLINE
Penis amulet 3 is 2 long and cast in brass. It is in the form of a
tiger treading the shaft of a penis. Like the monkey on the Hanuman
charm, the tiger is equipped with his own small penis and testicles on
the underside of the amulet. Srangely, the tigers penis is human, not
feline, and it proportionately quite large.
INLINE
Penis amulet 4 is 3/4 long and cast in pewter. The penis, which
bears no inscriptions, emerges from coiled snail shell, creating a
subtle visual pun on the appearance of a snail. A friend who saw this
amulet asked, Whats it for? To prevent premature ejaculation?
Frankly, i have no idea.
INLINE
Penis amulet 5 is 2 long and cast in bronze. It depicts a crocodile
surmounting a large, uninscribed penis, the downturned tail of the
animal forming a hanging loop. Unlike the monkey and tiger amulets,
the crocodile has no testicles or penis of its own.
INLINE
Another handsome Thai penis amulet is 6, hand-carved of black buffalo
horn. It is 2 1/4 long and is lightly inscribed with Thai script.
Inside each one there is a mystery inclusion, a bead or seed that
rattles when the amulet is shaken.
INLINE
Palad khik 7 is 2 3/4 inches long. It is hand-carved from jackfruit
wood and inscribed with Bhuddist invocations. On the penis a naked
woman is bent backward in the yoga position called the bridge. This
style of palad khik is the only one carried by women, who place it in
their purses to deter purse-snatchers and ward off assults by men.
INLINE
Penis amulet 8, although usually is made of brass, is shown here cast
in white plastic resin. It is 1 3/4 inches long and is simlar to the
lion-haunched and inscribed style 1 amulet except that the attitude
of the penis is perkier and the testicles are so large that they
hang down well below the haunches. The addition of an eye on each side
of the glans and a flaring corona evocative of ears gives this palad
khik the look of a cute childs toy, a little bunny-penis, as it were.
Penis amulet 9 is a bit smaller than the other metal ones, and the
crouching black panther it bears is similar in concept to the tiger in
style 3, but this one was sculpted by a better artist and is very
naturalistic in detail when cast in dark patina bronze, the panther
looks quite black. In addition, the penis is very obviously
uncircumcised.
Penis amulet 10 features a strangely attractive smiling lizard
half-asleep on the penis. Surprisingly, on close inspection the lizard
is clearly seen to have two symmetrically arrayed tails. My Thai
infomrant tells me that this is a visual reference to another Thai
lucky symbol, the mating lizards, which represent fertility and
prosperity.
Other hand-carved palad khik amulets i have collected include the
Hanuman monkey charm carved of jackfruit wood, a smaller version of
the yoga woman in black-stained wood, a plain rosewood amulet which is
lightly inscribed and contains a rattle, and one of polished white
bone, inscribed but without a rattle.
The metal amulets, each cast in a different colour, make a lovely
aesthetic complement to my copper Indescribable Lucky Charm and i
happily keep them all together with my bronze foliated Roman penis
amulet in a rusty iron wall-altar to reinforce the metallic theme.
Perhaps a gold yoni amulet is in my future?
