TALISMAN ACTIVATION

A talisman or amulet until it is activated is a completely ordinary sheet of paper on which text or various symbols are written. Activation is performed in several ways. For me personally, the most interesting is the one in which, at some point, the hanging talisman starts to spin uncontrollably by itself. It is a sign that the spirits (khodam), whose names are incorporated into the talismanic text or content, have acepted to carry out the task assigned to them.

There are other less dynamic ways, such as repeating a certain number of times some special formula above the amulet, which is full of names of strong spiritual beings and magical words.

Healing talismans, except those placed in water for consumption, can be quite mysterious. Quite a few times they simply disappear, whether the patient loses them or the spirits steal them. Some talismans that are full of blessings (barakah), such as those written for work and money, can have a positive effect on other family members or even nearby shops and stores. Furthermore, it is claimed that the owner of a "tongue-tying" amulet, worn to silence a certain person or generally malicious persons, can never be barked at by a dog.

 

TALISMANS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DISEASE

Every day and night have their moments called good and bad hours. This determines the actions or rituals that a magician will undertake. For example, good hours are ideal times for celebrations, job hunting, healing, and so on, while bad hours are exclusively for malicious activities.

Good hours for treatment are:

Sunday: Hour of Mercury.

Monday: Hour of Mars.

Tuesday: Hour of the Moon.

Wednesday: Sun.

Thursday: Hour of Saturn.

Friday: Hour of Mars.

Saturday: Hour of Venus.

 

Amulets for healing or protection against diseases are written in one of the mentioned hours. If the talisman is not completed within that time, then it ceases to work and resumes in the new auspicious hour designated for healing.

Talismans, especially those for healing, are written with saffron and rosewater ink. If love talismans are written, then musk is added to the ink. Amulets against black magic are best written with a ballpoint pen because that way the text lasts longer.

Just as any mental or physical work takes energy, the same effect on the human body is produced by making talismans. Namely, if the magician feels very tired after creating the talisman, it is a sign that it will be effective. The amulet "sucked" a part of his life energy, which is, of course, renewable.
