ว่านเพชรหลีก
Wan Phet Lik
Diamond-Evasion Waan
Ritual purpose
Invulnerability and evasion from danger, especially blades, spears, and weapons; especially suited to fighting (body-hardening against knives/spears/swords, not explicitly firearms).
Botanical
Hyacinthus sp. per BanVanThai — a garlic-like bulb, sometimes fist-sized. Small bulbs called ว่านเพชรหลีก, larger ones ว่านเพชรตาเหลือก/ตาเลือด; may be the same as a bulb-form ว่านกีบแรด.
Origin / legend
No detailed origin legend in blog sources. Thaiforestherb attributes a belief to Kha/Miao hill peoples: planted badly, it can make property or gains slip away. A Facebook post by the seller บ้านว่านไทยแท้ของอาจารย์ณรงค์ศักดิ์ (BanVanThai) now confirms the previously unverified Bang Rachan connection: it names ว่านเพชรตาเหลือก / ว่านเพชรหลีกใหญ่ specifically in the ตำนานบางระจัน (Bang Rachan) battle legend, used to make fighters tough/invulnerable for battle ("ใช้ให้เหนียวสู้ศึก").
Consecration method (ปลุกเสก)
No ritual empowerment sequence found — sources describe use and taboo, not a rite.
Application
Eat/ingest, rub/apply over the body, or carry on the person, depending on the desired effect.
Taboos / restrictions (ข้อห้าม)
- Do not casually plant at home, especially for traders/wealth-seekers — believed to make incoming fortune miss the household.
Upgraded from single-source (W0) after BanVanThai and Thaiforestherb corroboration; BanVanThai's own Facebook page independently confirms the Bang Rachan legend.
