Where can I find the good luck talisman?

A mandatory rule when choosing a talisman is to follow your heart. A trinket, acquired over 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 that the talisman 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 as a talisman gifts from people who are hostile or unpleasant to you.

How to do it yourself?

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

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

Production rules

The rules for creating talismans are as follows:

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

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

Cover the table with a white tablecloth, preferably new.
Place a piece of white paper or cardboard in the center of the tablecloth.
Place four candles around the edges of the tablecloth and light them.
Draw a drawing or writing 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 her". 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 as you look at the text or image on paper. Try to visualize your dreams.

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 lucky bag is made for the crescent moon, so it will take more strength. Made correctly, it will bring good luck for years to come.

Ball of money

a ball of wool threads;
small coins.

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

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, don't throw away the wax, but put it in a cloth bag.

Keep the wax out of the evil eyes. The talisman will help to achieve the fulfillment of all desires.

Bracelet made of threads

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

Creating a talisman:

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

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

It is wiser to mark the talisman ready near the front door so as not to let bad luck in the house or on the desktop fortunately in business.

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 shop has an option for you.

Creating a talisman:

Drill a hole in the center of the coin. When making a hole, be sure to think about your cherished wishes.
We take a red thread or lace and thread a coin.
We tie the thread on a double knot, imagining how we tie 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 make your dreams come true.

How is a talisman activated?

Having chosen a talisman, it is necessary to cleanse it of negative energies and activate it. If the material of the amulet is not fragile, then purification should be done with 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 gasket in sand.

To activate the talisman you need:

Relax, close your eyes and mentally imagine how all the dirt and negativity is leaving it.
The easiest and most effective way to activate a talisman is to take it in your hands, bring it to the face and exhale rhythmically.
During activation, it is necessary to focus on the tasks that the talisman should perform and on attracting the positive.
