Amulets, Charms & Talismans by Laketempest 2010/04/29 15:20
In magic and witchcraft, certain objectives are used which act as mystical telephone numbers, summoning a specific power, be it a God, an angel, an elemental force or kind of luck. These mystical objects can differ for witches and for ceremonial magicians. Witches tend to use charms and these are natural objects. Ceremonial magicians, however, will make items specifically for their working. They make these using astrological principles and with particular thought for the purpose in mind. Talismans are a means of drawing down power of the planets into a scrool, or an object, which can then be used as a powerful magical tool.
There are many types of amulets, charms and talismans, they can be a very powerful and effective tool in the hands of a master or mistress of the craft. Talismans-making is a skill that is important for every witch to learn. They are made from way or metal or, more commonly now, coloured paper, if you want to make a talisman you will need to establish the colour, materials, day and god forms related to the subject of your talisman, and gather such equipment as you need in order to make it. You can simply manufacture the charm and then consecrate it on your own, or you can make it magical. As you become more experienced, you will find it easier.
Now here i will give some of the many amulets, charms and talismans out there and its use, so it will be easy to find them if ever anyone need it, feel free to add yours in this topic if you have knowledge on them!

And in school the teacher used to give out stars for good children...
Quote: Laketempest: STAR:
humans have always viewed stars as good-luck symbols. Even antireligious communist Russia and China used a star as a national symbol.

CHARMS[/b] :
An example of the charms used in witchcraft are stones with natural holes in them. These perforated flints or fossils are called holy or holey stones and were used to prevent harm from coming to animals. The stones were collected, often from a beach or river bank, and hung on red wool or ribbon over the doors of cattle sheds or stables. This was to stop elves coming and milking the cows, or night hags riding the horses in the hours of darkness. It was supposed that evil forces would be attracted to the holes in the stones and try to get through, and so become trapped. Traditionally, these stones were thrown into running water after seven years so that any harm trapped in them would be washed away, then new stones were found and hung up. Other charms include herbs; mint for money if carried in the purse, sage for wisdom, oak to protect from lightning when put into a small red cloth bag and worn everyday. Some fossils were thought to have magical powers; belemnites were believed to be "elf shot", arrows fired by spirits to make cattle sick, and ammonites were snakes turned to stone by the magic of wizards or Christian saints. Folklore is full of these simples which were carried for protection, to bring health or luck. Charms are always some natural substances, perhaps a strange share, such as four-leaved clovers which bring luck, and pebbles in the shape of an eye, which are thought to be protective.
