Thai Buddha amulets of the days of the week.
The Eight Buddhas of the Days of the Week and Their Meaning
In Thai Buddhist tradition, each day of the week is associated with a specific posture of the Buddha. These images are often worshipped by devotees based on the day of their birth, as they are believed to influence their destiny and spiritual well-being. However, one can wear amulets of these Buddhas even if one was not born on their day if one feels drawn to the images of that particular posture or if its effects speak to one.
