Pentagram seal, from Cyprianus, 18th C

Illustration in black ink showing pentagram seal - a five-pointed star with magical symbols. From Cyprianus, 18th century. Cyprianus is also known as the Black Book, and is the textbook of the Black School at Wittenburg, the book from which a witch or sorceror gets his spells. The Black School at Wittenburg was purportedly a place in Germany where one went to learn the black arts.

Magickal tools

Charms, amulets, and talismans are objects that are believed to possess magical or mystical properties and are often used for protection or to bring good luck.

While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they have slightly different meanings:

Charms: A charm is an object that is believed to have magical power to protect the wearer from harm or to bring good luck. Charms are often worn as jewelry, such as a necklace or bracelet, and may be made from a variety of materials, including metal, stone, or wood. Examples of charms include a four-leaf clover, a horseshoe, or a rabbit's foot.

Amulets: An amulet is also an object that is believed to have magical power, but it is typically worn or carried for the purpose of protecting the wearer from evil or harm. Amulets are often made from materials that are believed to have protective properties, such as certain stones, metals, or herbs. Examples of amulets include a crystal pendant, a piece of amber, or a protective talisman.

Talismans: A talisman is an object that is believed to have magical power to bring good fortune or to achieve a specific goal. Talismans are often created for a specific purpose, such as attracting love, wealth, or success. They may be made from a variety of materials, such as precious stones, herbs, or metals, and may be worn or carried as a reminder of the desired outcome. Examples of talismans include a lucky coin, a mojo bag, or a sigil.

In summary, while charms, amulets, and talismans are all believed to have mystical properties, they have different purposes and uses. Charms are worn for good luck, amulets for protection, and talismans for achieving specific goals or desires.

Elemental-astrological talismans, a cost-effective talisman work with stones.

Before we get into the astrological unwell weather full of eclipses, mercury retrograde, and mars-saturn conjunction I want to take this period to propose the topic I have been thinking about personally in my head. Mainly that (1) I am not very good at engraving figures on precious metals for talismanic magic and (2) finding the proper method of consecration.

The whole story started around 2019 when I was walking with my friend on the side of the road and he told me "hey this magic stuff is fantastic but show me if it really works", I held a random stone on the side of the road, willed solar energy to go into it for 5 or 10 minutes and gave it to my friend who kept it at his store for 3 months and with each passing month his profit kept going down, what in the end? he threw it at a palm tree and it died in less than a month or so.

That lesson of the story is that don't enchant or consecrate stuff randomly, but there's more to it when I used to use this anecdote as funny story to tell my friends. If a random stone laying around can be consecrated that easily then it is possible with proper spirits overseeing the operation AND timing it is possible to make something similar to the astrological talismans with less "heavy-lifting" on the right sunthemata and planet.

A bit the current post is low on the practical aspect of it, but I think I gave enough food for thoughts for people to work it out with, no? I will hopefully report my finding if it is a viable or a non-viable option by end of April or May.

Starting from now until end of April I will be out and unavailable, so sadly I won't be able to tell or speak here. Take care until then :)

Magical Gemstones: An Abridged Guide

Magical gemstones are a type of talisman made of semiprecious stones —such as hematite, carnelian or amethyst— that were worn set in rings or as pendants and their size ranges from 1.5 cm to 3 cm.These gemstones haven't magical, protective characteristics because of the nature of the gem itself but because the representations of Gods and holy names carved conceded them virtues through holy dynamis: This is, among other things, the inherent power of divine names and/or their representations.

These depictions are normally inverted (negative) This, together with the fact that some of the gems show a certain degree of worn indicates that they were manipulated in some way—probably rubbed or even licked, in order to increase their efficacy—proves that they were not conceived as seals but as amulets or talismans.

A magical gemstone, to be considered as such, should have one or more of the following elements:

An iconographic language generally belonging to syncretic Gods or that combines Gods from different origins.

Charakteres (magical signs. They can be planetary, protective, etc.)

Voces magicae (Words of power and phrases whose formulation and structure may hide secret, sacred names of Gods as well as prayers or incantations dedicated to them, sometimes with the intention of controlling their emanations and daimonēs) and logoi (magical names, permutation of magical names and vocals).

The practice and use of magical voices was transmitted orally across the eastern Mediterranean, but it wasn't until the early 1st century b.c.e. the practice began to be included in written form. The abundance of amulets and gems with magical names and signs are evidence of this change of paradigm.

In addition, elements are usually complemented by two structural features:

The gemstone is engraved on both the obverse and the reverse, sometimes even on the edge.

The inscription appears directly and not in mirror writing.

These magic gemstones, in addition, can be magical gemstones stricto sensu and amuletic gems. The latter differ from the former in:

That the iconographic patterns they contain are explicitly described as belonging to amulets in textual sources such as Posidippus's Lithika

They bear a prophylactic inscription, usually "diaphylasse" (protect me!), "sōzon" (save me!) or "Heis Theos" (One God).

Its production began during the late Hellenistic period, but it was not until the 2nd and 4th centuries c.e. that it reached its apogee. Magical gemstones' imagery demonstrates the diversity and plurality of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Egyptian, Christian, Gnostic and Jewish representations and ideas from the Mediterranean from the Roman period, as well as the popularity and diversity of magical activities and practices.

These magic gemstones were rarely used for evil purposes, such as harming someone. Their most common use was to offer protection or solve personal health problems: those showing an ibis tied by an altar and including the command "pésse!" (digest) were used to heal indigestion and other stomach problems; others, depicting a uterus, offered represented a womb, offered protection during childbirth and guaranteed fertility.

Although most of these magic gemstones were used as jewelry, it is possible that they also had other uses, as part of a ritual to heal a patient or as a physical component for an incantation, such as those with depictions of Harpocrates seated on a lotus the nomina magica Bainchōōōch (Bainchōōōch, Ba of the Shadow, isn't only a vox magica/nomina magica but a God on their own right. PGM aside, Bainchōōōch appears in Pistis Sophia as a triple powered deity that descends onto Jesus, giving him his powers)

An interesting fact is that of the production of magical gemstones during the 17th and 18th centuries of our era. Although the production of these gems continued during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance —irregularly, of course— they reflected the magical and religious reflected the magical and religious practices of their historical context.

This, however, was not the case during the 17th and 18th centuries, where magical gemstones of great quality and sophistication were produced, which not only reproduced the iconographic motifs and logoi of the pre-existing graeco-egyptian magic gemstones, but also introduced new ones. An example of these gems are those with representations of Christ-Osiris or Jesus-Khepri

As Pride Month comes to an end, I wanted to take this opportunity to honour and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

For every Pride Talisman I have sold this past year I have now donated a portion of the proceeds to the LGBTQ+ charity The Human Dignity Trust, that advocates for equality and support for the community, and uses the law to defend the human rights of LGBTQ+ people globally. And as it is Pride Month all donations are doubled!

I believe that celebrating Pride Month goes beyond just wearing a symbol of pride; it's about taking action and making a meaningful difference. By purchasing a Pride Talisman, you've not only helped spread awareness, but also contributed to a cause that supports real change. So thank you every single person who purchased one this past year!

The Human Dignity Trust work tirelessly to provide essential services, support, and advocacy for the community. Your purchase will help them continue their valuable work, touching the lives of so many individuals and making a positive impact.

So, show your support, wear your Pride Talisman with pride, and let's make this Pride Month truly special by spreading the love all year round. Together, we can create a more inclusive and accepting world for everyone.

How to Create a “Mother’s Love” Amulet

This amulet does not rely on incantations or symbols. As long as the mother performs every single step herself, and no matter how old her child is, her love will be transformed as protection and encapsulated in the bracelet.

STEP 1: Prepare the cord.

Pluck a single hair from your head, and wrap it around your chosen cord for the bracelet, creating a spiral covering a small part of it, which will be hidden by the beads.

STEP 2: Acquire the beads.

Have an equal amount of black and red. Crystal, glass, metal or plastic. As with the cord, any material will do, as long as it is durable. Black represents death, while red represents love.

STEP 3: Make the bracelet.

Make sure you are alone and undisturbed. You need to be one with your thoughts and emotions.

As you place the first black bead of the bracelet, think of a fear you have for your child. Say, your son dying of a fever. And as you place the first red bead after it, picture yourself eliminating that possibility.

As you place another black bead, think of another fear you have. Your son being cursed by one of your enemies. Then, again, as you place a red bead after it, imagine that terrible possibility being eliminated.

Keep doing this for every pair of beads: For every black one, think of a danger your child could encounter. Feel his and your pain as you do this. For every red one, imagine yourself, with the help of your higher power, completely removing this danger. Feel relief and joy in your heart as you do this.

STEP 4: Consecrate it.

Offer the bracelet to your higher power. Different faiths have different ways. But it is customary to leave the bracelet overnight on your deity’s shrine, along with an offering, as a sign of gratitude for activating the bracelet’s magic.

STEP 5: Gift it to your child.

Place it in a box and wrap it in paper.

Be there as your son opens the box (with your help, if the child is too young) and wears the bracelet for the first time.

Rest assured that it will protect him against the dangers that you imagined, be they natural or occult crimes.
