Talismans

12/26/2012

     A talisman is a woman/manmade magical object designed to pomote health, wealth, love, protection or similar objectives.  The purpose of  Talisman is to be carry out certain task - to protect against evil in general and bring success.  We're used to say that Talisman would attract, on  the one who is wearing it, luck, money, and love as honey attracts bees or  magnet attracts iron, and that it would take away, negative waves of bad luck and failure. 
 
      Talisman has always been, as far as I can remember, part of the most precious  things that a family owned. My mother give it to me, herself got it from her  mother who herself got it from hers…
Picture
     A talisman: a coin-size disk, square or triangle with certain symbols enraved on it.  The talisman has been specially prepared and is worn for protection or  to bring health, wealth or love.  Objects would be blessed and become powerful talismans and magickal charms. 

     A love talisman must be made on a Friday, on or just before the Full Moon.  It should be made of gold but can be created on copper.  A really old coin that has been worn fairly smooth is a good choice.   A flat stone on you diligently search for is another choice. 
 
      The witches' tool an Awl, or engraver is a small tool, about the size of a pen or pencil and is used in similar fashion to a pen, but it scratches, or engraves the characters into the coin.  But a sharp nail alone will do.
 
      One way to make an awl is find a piece of wood (can be the same as the wood for the wand) and carve it into a shape.  You can carve the awl with symbols that are relevant to you.  Take a small nail 9 -D would do)   You can grind the nail into a point by working it against a rough rock.   Tap the nail firmly into the end of the wood, be careful not to split the wood. 
 
      In magick you are not trying to do things the quick and easy way, you are working at putting your energies into your work.  As you engrave, you must concentrate on your intent.  
  
      On the night of the Full Moon itself, wash the talisman in pure spring water and then hold it in the palm of your left hand.  Breathe on it seven times, then hold it up high towards the Moon so that the light of the Moon shines on it.  Then kiss the talisman and then keep it on your person.

Picture
     Love symbols should be engraved on the natural object (coin, stone) during the waxing moon.  As you engrave, concentrate on putting you intent into what you are trying to accomplish.  On the reverse side, engrave names, astrological birth signs or dates to make more personal (your love one and yourself).
 
      Witches have a vast store of knowledge regarding symbols and their uses.  They have passed out the knowledge of where to find them, how to prepare them, or how to use them.  Ancient Grimories have been past down from hand to hand across the length of Europe.  Most of this information can be found in reading magickal texts.  
  
      There are tremendous range of symbols.  Perhaps the most popular is that of the Sun.  Almost as popular is the Moon. The heart symbol was actually to 'give heart' to to the person who wore it.  But hearts can be equally good at producing love.
Picture
     Probably the most famous of all "magical" rings was worn by King Solomon who ruled over israel in the thenth century B.C., and whose name is a symbol of great wisdom.  He supposed to have worked miracles with the ring, which was of pure gold set with a precious stone, called in the ancient manuscripts a shamir, and engraved the five-pointed star or pentacle, known as the "shield of Solomon" and the initials of four Hebrew words meaning, "Thou art mighty forever Adonai."   Adonai is the ineffable name of God, that is, so sacred as never to be spoken.

     In ancient Rome, rings engraved with a five-point-srar were among the most popular means of aquiring good luck.
  
       So it is that rings as a symbol of love, friendship, and good luck have come down to us in modern times. 
 
      Hebrews used talismans for all sorts of benefits - success in business, favor both God and people, love by enemies.  They were composed of multitude of magic symbols, letter, and words written on skin or parchment.  They often contained the six pointed star made by placing one triangle on another.  This was known as the "shield of Solomon."  Other used the five-pointed pentacle.
  
      The Pentacle has the amazing power to capture ALL the positive cosmic energy  circulating in our Universe, no matter how faint.   The five-pointed-star, which the ancient believed had the power to trp the forces of evil, rendering them powerless.

         Wiccans and Pagans have an animal companion that they consider their familiar.  A familiar is part of the family.

        A familiar is often defined as an animal with whom we have a magical connection.  If an animal has appeared in your life unexpectedly -- such as a stray cat that appears regularly, for instance -- it's possible that the animal may have been drawn to you magickally!
