I spoke to a mentor whom provided answers on talismans, as a user mentioned it I began curious to see how it works. This is what she wrote back to me.
- What you need:
• Two candles to symbolise the Goddess and God (either two white; silver (Goddess) and gold (God); or green (Goddess) and red (God)
• A small pouch or cloth which you can stitch up to become a small bag
• Mortar and pestle (or something to grind your herbs in)
• Grated lemon peel (works to cleanse you and helps you open spiritually, and removes blockages and unwanted negativity)
• Myrrh or Lotus leaves, if you can find one or both of them (they both promote spiritual opening and magickal powers)
• Celery Seed (promotes mental and psychic powers, and aids in concentration)
Let’s begin…
- Place the Goddess and God candles in front of you, with your empty pouch in between them, and light them. As you light each, say:
“I invite the Divine Goddess to join me in this ritual.”
“I invite the Divine God to join me in this ritual.”
- Sit in peace for a while and watch the flames. Focus on your gratitude for all that the Goddess and God have brought you and will bring you in your life.
Say: “Blessed be the unity and duality of the Sacred Deities.”
-
Now take your pouch and place your lemon peel in it, and say “Lemon, cleanse me, and open me spiritually.”
-
Take your mortar and place the myrrh/lotus leaves and say: “Myrrh/Lotus, open me spiritually and enhance my psychic powers.”
-
Then place your celery seed in it and say: “Celery seed, bring me focus and concentration.”
-
As you grind them up, focus on what you want to achieve with this talisman, all that you want it to bring you and help you with; how your life can improve with the right focus and intent. Then place your ground herbs in the pouch with the lemon peel, and seal it up.
-
Place the pouch back between the candles, and say:
-
“Goddess and God, please bless this magickal talisman for me, and help me follow its guidance as well as yours, for the highest good. Blessed Be.”
-
Snuff out the candles. Keep your pouch on your altar or under your pillow, and keep it near when you carry out magickal tasks and rituals, and when you meditate.
