Crystals and gems already hold power, but with a talisman, special powers can be naturally occurring, or you can instill powers during a ritual. A talisman can be any object or symbol that you believe possesses mystical qualities.
Talismans are used for many different
reasons. They can bring love, luck, wealth, and protect you from death or harm.
For instructions on creating a talisman, consult a grimoire, or spell book.
Here is a list of sacred stone shapes for amulets and pendulums when you are
trying to figure out how you want to create ritual talismans and charms.
To maximize the power of the talisman
that you design and make, consider the following tried and true suggestion:
Keep in mind that this will work even better if you place the item on your
altar to energize it. On a new moon night, light a candle that corresponds with
your intention or hope. Green is for abundance, red is for power and love, blue
is creative and spiritual vision. Burn the candle for one hour every evening.
I also like to create gifts of love for
the special friends in my life. I like to gather seeds and herbs in my travels.
If you create good luck talismans for your friends and loved ones, your good
intentions will be repaid many times over. I keep a stock of tiny muslin
drawstring bags on hand to make the talismans, but the talisman can be even
more powerful if you sew the bag by hand and stuff the dried herbs and flowers
inside. For a courage talisman, use mullein and borage; for safe travels, use
comfrey; for protection, use snapdragon; for healing, use rue; for success, use
woodruff; for strength, use mugwort; for beauty, use an acorn.
Keep these herbal talismans with you at
all times and advise your friends to do the same. These bring good luck when
you carry them in a purse, pocket, or even in a string around your neck.
