Activativiting your Talisman
Talismans are physical objects that are traditionally used for the bearing of a charged intent. For example, rabbits’ feet and four-leaf clovers for good luck, similar to rosaries or amulets used in regelious prayer. Below are some tips for loading positive energy into your new talisman.
1. Select the physical base (your Hippy Dippy Girl Jewelry)
One may choose a stone that fits one’s astrological sign, or any stone that already bears a special meaning. It doesn’t matter if it’s a costly object or a trinket, so long as one may connect with its presence, weight, smell, touch, with a specific intention.
2. Transmit positive intentions
Take a few minutes each day for a week to meditate or pray using this physical base. If you believe in a god, angel, saint, protector or spirit, imagine that their energy envelops this physical base, whatever it might be. The message being sent to the unconscious is that the physical base, or amulet, is connected with the invisible through this intention. In other words, the object is the physical representation of an intention, desire or positive emotion (luck, health, love, etc.).
3. Polarities
One can think of amulets as electric batteries, like the one in your cell phone. These are charged and drained periodically. At first, it’s necessary to have the amulet close to you during happy moments, and to turn away from it when feeling sad. Imagining that the amulet serves to “absorb” your intentions will help to reinforce this.
4. Consecration to the elements
Depending on the type of material chosen, many schools of magic will advise that it be “sealed” through one of the four elements; earth, water, air or fire. Go with your intuitions rather than by any particular ritual, as the chosen element will only sanctify the covenant between you and your amulet (immediately, as with a baptism, a water seal).
5. Recharge
An amulet or talisman will serve to remind you of something important or can be used in stressful situations, as well as when you need more luck. As mentioned, amulets or talisman are energy batteries, so their effectiveness will drop noticeably over time. In such cases one should return to step 2 and recharge. One can also take advantage of events such as rain, eclipses or dawn to recharge some stones or talisman to power, but again, let intuition guide you.
Lastly remember the anecdote about Niels Bohr, the scientist and Nobel prize winner, who hung a horseshoe outside his cabin in the mountains. When some visiting colleagues from the scientific community noticed it, they asked if he was superstitious and really believed in “such things.” To this, Bohr replied that no, since he was a man of science he didn’t, “but I’ve heard that such things work even if you don’t believe in them.”
