Since ancient times, people believed that certain objects could protect them from dangers, diseases and black magic, and attract good luck, happiness, wealth and other benefits. These things are called talismans. It is customary to carry them with you or keep them at home to be under the protection of higher powers. People who do not yet have a personal magical protector should figure out how to make a talisman themselves. After its appearance, you will immediately feel how life began to change for the better.
The difference between a talisman and a talisman.
The words "amulet" and "talisman" are considered equivalent and are used synonymously.
But the difference between them, although small, is:
- The amulet protects a person from negative magical effects, illnesses and misfortunes. It can be material (pectoral cross, runic staff, horseshoe above the entrance door, etc. ) or immaterial (plot, whisper).
- A talisman is an object with supernatural powers that at the same time protects against problems and negative energy, and attracts happiness and good luck. It can be an object that you carry with you or keep in the house, or a living being, such as a cat.
Will a homemade talisman work?
To become the owner of an effective protective element, you can do it yourself.
According to esotericists, an amulet made with your own hands has more pronounced magical properties than one given or purchased.
When a person makes something protective for himself, he fills it with his energy as he works. Thanks to this, the talisman begins to perceive you as its owner and help you in all matters.
But it will be possible to achieve such an effect provided that the person creates the amulet in a good mood, without holding a grudge or grudge against anyone.
If he starts transmitting negativity to the universe, he will fill the magical attribute with negative energy. Such a thing will not be able to protect against troubles and attract luck.
What can talismans and amulets be made of?
In the manufacture of amulets, raw materials of natural origin are used: wood, natural threads, skins, leather, etc. These materials perfectly absorb negative energy from the outside world, protecting the owner from the destructive effects of it.
Wood
An affordable and effective material to make amulets at home. Bracelets, pendants and other magical attributes are made from it.
So that a homemade talisman can maximize its magical properties, the energy of the material is taken into account when making it.
Women are recommended to choose female trees (aspen, cherry, birch, etc. ), while representatives of the stronger sex choose male trees (oak, hazel).
Additionally, each tree has its own supernatural properties:
- Rowan protects from evil spirits;
- alder protects against adultery, helps those who do good deeds;
- the cherry preserves youth;
- Aspen protects against evil spirits;
- Hazelnut attracts wealth, protects against thieves;
- Oak protects from the evil eye and curses, strengthens the energy field.
Hair
Natural fur contains the energy of a sacrificed animal, so it should be used with caution to create an amulet. This material will help self-confident people who are used to taking risks and showing aggressiveness to achieve their goals.
A harmless person with a calm character will not benefit from a fur amulet.
Genuine Leather
Leather should be treated with caution for the same reason as fur. It is not suitable for a kind-hearted person who prefers a quiet life with his family.
Leather amulets are the choice of those who are used to walking on the edge of a knife.
Burlap and natural fabric.
Fabric talismans are easy to sew with your own hands. Most often they are made in the form of protective dolls. These products are suitable for everyone, regardless of gender, age and type of activity.
Threads and ribbons
Natural threads and ribbons are universal materials from which amulets can be made for people of any age, sex and occupation. They are used to make protective dolls, bracelets, car pendants and other protective attributes.
Herbs, flowers and berries.
Many plants have magical powers that a person can use for their own benefit.
Properties of herbs, berries and flowers in talismans:
- St. John's wort and hawthorn protect against evil spirits;
- Rosehip gives well-being, transforms negative energy into positive;
- Rowan protects against magical effects;
- elderberry cures diseases, protects against witchcraft;
- elm helps to acquire valuable knowledge;
- verbena develops the gift of foresight, attracts the opposite sex, heals and protects from evil spirits;
- elecampane protects from damage and the evil eye, attracts love, drives away diseases;
- Ivan da Marya helps to preserve love and fidelity;
- chamomile relieves anxiety and attracts love;
- nettle removes damage, protects against witchcraft and the evil eye, gives courage;
- Clover and sage bring good luck and prosperity.
Stones and minerals
Precious and semi-precious stones are not the most suitable material for making a talisman with your own hands, since they require processing that is impossible without special tools and skills.
But if there is such a possibility, then the teacher must take into account the compatibility of his horoscope with the selected gem.
Wax
Beeswax has long been used to create amulets against harm, everyday problems and illness. Both candles and figurines made of melted wax are used for protection purposes.
salty dough
Salt has long been famous for its ability to absorb negativity, which is why it is used to protect against the evil eye and witchcraft. By adding it to the dough you can obtain a plastic material with magical properties, suitable for creating protective figurines.
In order for the salt dough talisman to provide the desired benefits, additional ingredients are added to it:
- garlic - protects against the tricks of evil spirits;
- sunflower seeds: used in a children's amulet to protect the child from diseases;
- egg: helps those who dream of procreation;
- millet – protects against the evil eye;
- poppy - fulfills wishes;
- cereals and beans: attract wealth and give physical strength.
Rules for creating a talisman or good luck amulet.
When making a protective element yourself, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Perform all actions alone, without being distracted by extraneous sounds and activities.
- While working, mentally communicate with the talisman, ask for help and fill it with your positive energy.
- Create an amulet in a room illuminated by moonlight or sunlight. Don't sit down to work when the sky is cloudy.
