Where can I get the talisman of good luck?

A mandatory rule when choosing a talisman is to follow your heart. A trinket acquired in time under the influence of an inner impulse can serve more reliably than an amulet created without a suitable mood.Of course, it is better for the talisman to be made by hand, but it is permissible that a relative, friend or loved one participated in the creation.

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

How to do it yourself?

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

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

Manufacturing rules

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

The rules for making talismans are as follows:

it is imperative to allocate a day free from worries to create an amulet;
do not let anyone distract and upset you while you work;
turn off your phone, turn on pleasant relaxing music;
prepare the components for the mascot in advance.

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

Talismans that you can make yourself

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

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

Charm made of paper or cardboard

It won't take long to create a charm made of paper or cardboard, but a properly made charm 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 restraint. The talisman of white color is suitable for those who started their path to the goal, wants to succeed in the working field.
Red symbolizes health and emotion. It is worth choosing a color for those who want to strengthen relationships, to reveal themselves in a creative way.
Black is often perceived with a negative meaning, however, this perception is fundamentally wrong. Black - completion, energy absorption. It should be chosen by people who want to finish old things, to isolate themselves from problems from the past.

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

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

It is necessary to keep such wishes closer to yourself. Place them in your wallet or in your breast pocket.

Good luck bag

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

to create it, you will need the following materials:
red fabric 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 threads, then leave it on the window for a week.

A good luck bag is made for the growing moon, so it will take in more strength. Properly 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.

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 in coins.
We pronounce the conspiracy: "A thread of a strand - good luck come, the ball will roll off - happiness in the house is added. "

After completing the manufacture, you need to leave the talisman on a moonlit night on the windowsill, so it will be charged with the energy of the moon and bring happiness and prosperity to the house.

Magic wax

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

Let's start making:

In the waxing moon phase, light a candle at midnight.
While the flame is burning, talk about all your desires and dreams. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible.
When the candle is melted, do not throw away the wax, but put it in a canvas bag.

Keep wax away from the eyes of ill-wishers. The talisman will help to achieve the fulfillment of all desires.

Bracelet made of threads

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

Creating a talisman:

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

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

Arabic mascot

One of the strongest Arab talismans that bring 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 depict it yourself.

Algorithm for creating an Arab talisman for good luck:

Light a candle.
Take a piece of paper and draw Fatima's hand. 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 burn out.

It is wiser to mark the ready-made talisman near the front door in order not to let bad luck into the house or on the desktop for luck in business.

Imperial amulet for good luck and wealth

To make an amulet, you need a coin. Do not take the first one that comes across. Perhaps an antique store has an option to your liking.

Creating a talisman:

Drill a hole in the middle of the coin. When making a hole, be sure to think about your cherished desires.
We take a thread or lace of red color and thread a coin.
We tie the thread on 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, will attract power to fulfill your dreams.

How do I activate the talisman?

After choosing a talisman, you need to cleanse it of negative energies and activate it. If the material of the amulet is not fragile, then purification should be carried out with running water. Another effective option would be to fumigate the talisman. For the ritual, you will need incense sticks or candles. Can be cleaned by immersing 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 him.
The easiest and most effective way to activate the talisman is to take it in your hands, bring it to your face and exhale rhythmically at it.
During activation, you need to concentrate on the tasks that the talisman should perform and the attraction of positive.
To fully charge the talisman, imagine how, with exhalation, a part of the energy is contained in the amulet, which will protect in the future.
The talisman needs to speak - to whisper to him about your desires.
