'Magic' wooden penis saves woman

[netsat]

An abbot's 'magic' wooden penis has been credited with restoring a woman to health in Thailand.

Ladda Satiya, 66, was lent the carved phallus by an abbot at the Thepprasart Temple in Pattaya after falling ill from eating poisonous mushrooms.

Satiya called the abbot, Pra Boonsong, when the mushrooms made her feel dizzy and out of breath.

He gave it to her brother and suggested she swallowed a mixture of rice and water ground up by the penis.

Satiya said it was like eating pepper and her symptoms disappeared soon afterwards.

Speaking to the Pattaya Mail, the abbot said he had cast a spell on the phallus.

He said the 'magic' wood is able to heal people poisoned by toxic substances and prevent the bearer being affected by black magic.

But he refused to reveal the source of the penis wood for fear of forest devastation.
