Name overlaps casually with ว่านมหาเสน่ห์/ว่านดอกทอง in plant-seller posts. Forum follow-up found a contested claim worth flagging: a Pantip Jatujak respondent ("ตาเชย") says ว่านเสน่หา does not appear in the ~12 pre-1977 waan manuals he knows and argues it is a later "waan-craze" name rather than a classical one — treat the metta/luck claim as practitioner-disputed, not settled.
