Where can I get the good luck talisman?

A mandatory rule when choosing a talisman is to follow your heart. A trinket, acquired in time under the influence of an internal impulse, can serve more reliably than an amulet created without a proper mood.Of course, it is better if the talisman is made by hand, but a family member, friend or loved one is allowed to participate in the creation.

In no case, do not use gifts from people who are not friendly or unpleasant with you as a talisman.

How to do it yourself?

First you must choose the amulet that you are going to create. Decide which talisman suits you best.

A talisman is essentially an "item of power" associated with a specific owner. To enhance protection, you can apply magic symbols, the owner's name or runes to the amulet. Sometimes a drop of blood is left to establish a connection with an amulet.

Manufacturing rules

An important aspect of creating a lucky charm at home is total concentration on the task at hand.

The rules for making talismans are as follows:

it is imperative to dedicate a carefree day to create an amulet;
do not allow anyone to distract and disturb you while you work;
turn off your phone, turn on nice and relaxing music;
Prepare the components for the pet in advance.

All materials for creating a talisman for good luck need natural materials.

Talismans that you can make yourself

You can create many talismans with your own hands, some of the most effective are:

amulet of paper or cardboard;
a bag for good luck;
money ball
magic wax;
string bracelet;
Arab mascot;
imperial amulet for good luck and wealth.

Paper or cardboard charm

It will not take long to create an amulet made of paper or cardboard, but a correctly made amulet will bring good luck. First, decide which shade of paper to choose.

The most acceptable paper colors are:

White is the color of new beginnings, purity, and moderation. The talisman of white color is suitable for those who started their way to the goal, want to be successful in the field of work.
Red symbolizes health and excitement. It is worth choosing a color for those who want to strengthen relationships, to creatively reveal themselves.
Black is often perceived with a negative meaning, however this perception is fundamentally wrong. Black: termination, energy absorption. It should be chosen by people who want to finish old things, to isolate themselves from the problems of the past.

Having decided on the color of the paper, we proceed to create a talisman:

Cover the table with a white tablecloth, preferably new.
Place a blank sheet of paper or cardboard in the middle of the tablecloth.
Place four candles around the edges of the tablecloth and light them.
Draw a picture or letters on paper. It is worth writing on the wish sheet, as if they had already come true: "I bought a house" -or: "Vova confessed her love". For a drawing, it is worth choosing a rune, a picture of the sun or a heart, which will help to attract positive energy.
Wait for the candles to go out while looking at the text or image on the paper. Try to visualize your dreams.

You need to keep those desires closer to you. Put them in your wallet or your breast pocket.

Good luck bag

A good luck bag will become a nice and easy to make talisman.

To create it, you will need the following materials:
red cloth 25 by 15 centimeters;
multi-colored threads;
dried herbs.

The materials are ready, we are starting to create the mascot:

Fold the fabric in half and sew on both sides.
We put the herbs in the resulting bag. Choose mint, lavender, rosemary, or cloves.
Tie the neckline with seven strands, then leave it at the window for a week.

A good luck bag is made for the growing moon, so it will take more strength. Well crafted, it will bring good luck for years to come.

Money ball

To create the next amulet you will need

a ball of woolen threads;
small coins.

The wool must be new, not used for knitting or crafts before.

Let's start creating a talisman:

We take the thread and begin to wind it into a new ball, weaving coins.
We pronounce the conspiracy: "A thread of a strand - good luck come, the ball will roll - happiness is added in the house. "

After completing the manufacturing, you need to leave the talisman on a moonlit night on the windowsill, so that it is charged with the energy of the moon and brings happiness and prosperity to the house.

Magic wax

To create an amulet, you only need wax. Choose the candle you like the most, the color and shape of the product are not important.

Let's start doing:

In the waxing moon phase, light a candle at midnight.
As the flame burns, talk about all your wishes and dreams. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible.
When the candle has melted, do not throw the wax, put it in a canvas bag.

Keep the wax away from the eyes of the wicked. The talisman will help to achieve the fulfillment of all wishes.

String bracelet

To create an amulet, most often a red thread is chosen to attract good luck.

Creating a talisman:

We take three strands and begin to braid with a "pigtail", alternately overlapping one on top of the other.
A red bead can be woven into the middle of the bracelet to strengthen the charm.
Tie the resulting braid in a knot at the wrist.

Craftsmen can braid a leather strap with thread, so good luck will have a reliable foundation, intuition and connection with nature will be strengthened. The talisman will protect against failure and slander, will attract luck.

Arab mascot

One of the strongest Arabic talismans that brings good luck is the hand of Fatima. The palm-shaped amulet is often found in the form of figurines and pendants, but it is possible to represent it yourself.

Algorithm for creating an Arabic talisman for good luck:

Light a candle.
Take a sheet of paper and draw the hand of Fatima. It is advisable to paint the amulet with blue paints, this will enhance its protective properties.
Place an eye in the center of the drawing to sharpen your intuition.
Wait for the candle to go out.

It is wiser to mark the ready-to-wear talisman near the front door so as not to let bad luck into the home or desk for business luck.

Imperial amulet for good luck and wealth.

To make an amulet, you need a coin. Don't take the first one you come across. Perhaps an antique store has an option for you.

Creating a talisman:

Punch a hole in the middle of the coin. When poking a hole, be sure to think about your dearest wishes.
We take a red thread or lace and thread a coin.
We tie the thread with a double knot, imagining how we tie good luck to the thread.

The amulet will not only affect the financial side of life, but also protect you from troubles, attract the power to fulfill your dreams.

How do I activate a talisman?

After choosing a talisman, you need to cleanse it of negative energies and activate it. If the material of the amulet is not brittle, purification should be carried out under running water. Another effective option would be to fumigate the talisman. For the ritual, you will need incense sticks or candles. It can be cleaned by dipping the seal in sand.

To activate the talisman you need:

Relax, close your eyes and mentally imagine how all the dirt and negativity is leaving you behind.
The easiest and most effective way to activate a talisman is to take it in your hands, bring it to your face and exhale rhythmically.
During activation, you need to focus on the tasks to be performed by the talisman and the attraction of the positive.
To fully charge the talisman, imagine how, with the exhale, a part of the energy is contained in the amulet, which will protect you in the future.
The talisman needs to speak, whisper to him about your wishes.
