Five Divine Spirits Speak Through Medium: Only Two-Digit Lucky Numbers This Draw for May 2nd

Five divine spirits possessed the ceremonial medium during a water blessing ritual for protective deities in Fai Luang subdistrict, Lap Lae district, Uthai Thani province on April 28, 2025. The ceremony brought together many villagers to perform the traditional water blessing honoring the guardian spirits that protect residents and ensure prosperity for crops like longong, langsat, and durian. Families prepared fragrant water infused with ingredients including eagle-claw leaf, pomelo skin, and other botanicals in silver bowls for the blessing ritual.

During the ceremony, the medium entered trance states as multiple deities possessed him in sequence. The first spirit, calling itself "Chao Ton Por" (the founding patriarch spirit), spoke with a commanding voice and trembling body movements. The medium relayed the spirit's message clearly stating there would only be two-digit lucky numbers—specifically 78—for the May 2nd lottery draw, with no three-digit numbers available. Subsequent spirits including a female deity "Chao Ton Mae" and others also possessed the medium to bestow blessings on the gathered community.

As the ceremony concluded with the tying of blessed strings around residents' wrists for protection, a 50-year-old woman unexpectedly became possessed by "Chao Seiang Mia," a water gate guardian spirit who expressed displeasure at not being invited to the ceremony. The ceremonial leader apologized on behalf of the community, and the spirit was appeased with the fragrant water blessing before departing. The annual water blessing ceremony, held before the traditional "Hae Nam Khuen Hong" festival, is part of a thousand-year-old tradition in Lap Lae district dedicated to honoring protective deities and ancestors.
