A talisman is an amulet or a piece of jewelry used to protect or to draw love, money, and prosperity, whatever the spell caster desires to him or her. Considered sacred as they are charged with the power of the waxing moon, talismans become magical tools that generate positive energies that attract that which is desired. From the Greek word teleo, talisman has its roots in the word “consecrate” which means charged. Depending on the time the talisman is made and charged, it has a corresponding amount of energy that it could lend in spell work, rituals and magic ceremonies to make it successful.

Charging of a talisman is a very detailed ritual that needs the day, the hour and the planetary forces to be in accordance with a celestial being or a supernatural force. If it is connected with the universal forces, the more strength the talisman can make person’s wishes and desires come true. You will need a candle in the color that symbolizes your desire, for example, a pink candle of your intent is to attract love. You also need a stick of incense, again, in a scent corresponding to what you desire to attract. You have to have a glass of water, a white cloth on a table, a pinch of salt.

In a quiet room, put your candle in the center of the table draped with the white cloth and light the candle and the stick of incense. Place the glass of water, the salt and the talisman on the table in front of the candle. Close your eyes and meditate on what you want your talisman to achieve for you. Visualize every detail of your wish, be specific, see the wish coming into fruition. For example, if your talisman is for attracting love to you, see in your mind’s eye that you’re becoming open to love, becoming more attractive, getting the attention of a worthy person and being in a loving relationship with that person.

Sprinkle the salt slowly into the glass of water and imagine the water being filled with a golden light. Say that the salt is consecrating the water and that whatever it touches be blessed with light. Sprinkle a drop of water onto the talisman and say that with the sacred water, the talisman is consecrated and state your purpose for the talisman. Pass the talisman through the smoke of the incense and say that with the burning incense you cleanse the talisman and state your purpose for the talisman again. Lastly, pass the talisman through the flame of the candle and say that with the sacred flame, you purify the talisman and state your purpose again.

Hold the talisman with your right hand and imagine a ball of white light radiating in all directions. With your energy focused on this ball, imagine the white light pouring over your head and flowing down your whole body. You are strengthened by this light and see a golden light move from your body to your talisman. Visualize the scenario of your talisman working its magic and making your wish come true.
