Angels guard the one who wears the amulet

 There is probably no person who does not know what a talisman or amulet (zapis or hamajlija on Bosnian language), is. It is a short or long text filled with certain prayers, signs, and squares, the purpose of which is to protect its wearer from magical attacks. Some amulets are made to protect people and amulets to protect to home called home talismans (kućna zaštita or kućna hamajlija). In addition to them, amulets are often made to protect and guard the business premises from malicious competition and envious people. 

According to the principles of spiritual science, the main amulets or hamajlije can be written on certain days and hours. Therefore, all this work can last a relatively long period, sometimes even a month or two, i fit is a large amulet. The restrictions for writing the so-called average amulet are significantly less but yet important. All talismans, as well as writings (zapisi), must bed one in a certain lunar phase: writings are done from the new Moon to the full Moon, and amulets the phase when the Moon is waning, usually the last nine days. The purpose of each amulet is to curb black or love magic, and evil eyes, prevent a person from encountering evil forces, and represent a kind of „protective fence“ for the owner. It can be owned and worm by both sexes.

Amulets made on Friday evening, that is, Thursday night and Friday morning, until sunrise, are considered very-powerful. The classic writing of their text takes place in the middle of the night, between midnight and 01:00, no later than two in the morning, because after that dawn follows and it is too late to work. Amulets are also written during the day. An alternative time to write amulets is Tuesday when the Sun approaches its ascendant.

Just as devils (Jinns) are inseparable from magic and sorcery, so angels (Meleks) are inseparable from amulets themselves. Namely, is every high-quality and effective amulet, one or more names of angels are written. As exalted and pure beings, angels do not want to guard an impure person, especially one who does not wash after defecation, or sexual intercourse, or a woman who does not keep herself tidy during her menstrual cycle.

Therefore, each amulet, i.e. its text, must be protected from contact with water, sweat, and impurity, by being covered with duct tape or imported into a bag made of animal skin. Otherwise, the first trip to the toilet with an unprotected amulet causes its desecration and takes away its prophylactic power. Some esotericisms recommend wrapping the amulet with the thread with which its owner was previously measured from the top of the head to the toes. This measure is torn off from the rest of the thread and it is carefully wrapped around the amulet folded into the shape of a small square or triangle. And the end, a knot is tied. After that, the amulet must never be opened again. Like everything else around us, the contents of the amulet fade after some time, and individual letters or symbols lose their color or disappear, so the amulet weakens or completely loses its protective power. That is why it is recommended to replace the old amulet eith a new one every nine years.

LIBERATING A PERSON FROM SPIRIT POSSESSION

 A person's suspicion that he is possessed by demons is a consequence of a change in consciousness. Such a situation occurs when the level of salt in the blood is higher than sugar. Namely, when salt-rich blood reaches the brain through the circulatory system, the function of about two million cells that control the sensitivity of the mind deteriorates.

A person then feels as if something is pressing on his shoulders and at some point, he suddenly starts seeing ghosts and various unrelated details. Human consciousness experiences a transmission change, sometimes a person gets an illusion as if he sees an unknown shadow or a dark figure of a man or a woman, and fear appears in his body and he begins to act outside of his consciousness.

This kind of stress can be so strong that a person falls into unconsciousness as their emotions become dependent on the power of subconscious forces. Therefore, evil spirits control the mind of people with high salt content in the blood, which contributes to mental disorders. One of the best proofs of this theory is that the tears of a possessed person do not taste salty, as in a normal person, since spirits retain salt inside the human body.

Over time, spirits gain control over their victim and completely occupy their consciousness. They appear before the person as grotesque creatures and keep the mind in a dark state.

To cure this disease, write the following names of four angels on a piece of paper:

Before the patient goes to sleep, fold the paper with the words and wrap it in a piece of cotton, then put it in olive or linseed oil and set it on fire. The sick person should inhale the smoke from it. In the morning, before sunrise, you should read the 113th chapter of the Qur'an, blow into a glass of water and give it to the possessed person to drink on an empty stomach.

It is important to emphasize that during this treatment, the sick person should not consume salt for at least two weeks. Or at least reduce the intake to the lowest possible dose before the end of this treatment. During this time, while the treatment lasts, it is necessary to take one spoonful of natural honey 3 times a day.

AMULET THAT PROTECTS AGAINST EVIL SPIRITS

In the second part of the text, we will focus on the preparation of an amulet that should be worn by a person suffering from possession. To prepare the protection, print out this talisman, then fold the paper and wrap it in a cellophane. A sick person should wear an amulet around his neck.

World of angels

The equivalent for evil and negative beings, according to religious tradition, are certainly angels or „meleci“. The theological idea of ​​good spiritual creatures indisputably existed long before Zarathustra, the originator of monotheism, but what we know today as angels is the final product of the mind of that great prophet. Amshaspandan or Amesha Spentas in the religion of Zarathustra represent the great angels, what is known in Christianity as archangels. There are seven of them, which is the sacred number of Zoroastrianism or Mazdaism, and they belong to the divine accompaniment of the Supreme God. Amesha Spentas, also called the Immortal Benefactors, are God’s helpers, in fact the connection of Ahura Mazda with the material world. Among them are 4 male and 3 female angels. Of these seven, Arashtat or Asha Vahishta stands out, which in translation means truth and justice, and is in charge of maintaining the physical and moral order on Earth and is the embodiment of the best truth and justice. The most prominent is the male Amesha Spentas and the main rival to the demon world. The second month in the Persian calendar is dedicated to him. His eternal opponents are the demons of lies, among whom the most dominant is the evil demon Indra.

When the Jews created Judaism, they incorporated into their faith many segments of the ancient Egyptian and Persian religions, including Amesha Spentas, whose monotheism deprived them of sexuality and real names, but retained the wings and human form and virtues that adorned them.

According to Zarathustra's preaching, every man has his guardian angel known as Faravashis or Arda Fravash, who follows and helps him. Zarathustra himself announced that he had received an express command from God to call on Faravashis for help whenever he needed it. That is why he told the people to follow his example.


Angels and children

Islam describes angels as human-like beings with two, four and sometimes more wings. It is claimed that each individual has with him four angels, who tirelessly record his good and bad deeds. They are called Kiramen kitabin or "hafeza meleci". From this group two angels record during the day, and the other two record during the night all man's movements and actions as well as words. Also, there are angels who dwell in paradise and their leader is called Ridvan, and there are also those who visit hell itself, whose fire cannot harm them. They are called Zebeniye as a group and there are 19 of them in total, their leader is named Malik.

Contrary to the above-mentioned Arab belief, Bosniaks, under the influence of former Arian Christianity, believe that each man has only two angels: one sits on his right shoulder and the other on his left shoulder. The one on the right shoulder writes his good deeds while the one on the left writes his evil deeds. Also, according to popular belief, angels protect man and defend him from all evil, especially injustice. The folk song tells how the father threw the innocent accused daughter down the tower three times to see if she was guilty or not:


He took Tidža by her white hand,
So he throws her down the tall tower,
Hatidža was guarded by angels,
She broke neither her legs nor her arms.


Bosnian:

Uze Tidžu za bijelu ruku,
Pa je baca niz visoku kulu,
Hatidžu su meleći čuvali,
Ne slomila ni noge, ni ruke.


In Islamic tradition, angels are believed to leave that house where there are dogs or cats. Although it is generally believed that the cause is impurity, the real reason is probably hidden in the pre-Islamic or primarily Egyptian worship of the goddess Bast, depicted with a cat's head, and Anubis, the dog-headed god. With this ban, Islam wanted to suppress pagan characteristics among the Arab peoples in every segment.

The Bosniak people claim that angels accompany people throughout their lives, literally from birth to death. Folklore says that no child wants to come out of the mother's womb, until the angels give him a "senet", or a written guarantee, that he will never die. However, as soon as the child leaves the mother, they snatch the "senet" from his hands and that is why he cries inconsolably at birth.

According to the saying, every little child is like an angel. However, he loses this lovely quality as soon as he speaks, because in addition to beautiful words, he is also able to say ugly ones. Also, while they are very small, and in their privileged position, small babies are supposed to be able to see angels so they know how to smile at them. The connection with the angels is not lost until the onset of puberty, during which time they faithfully protect and guard them, especially in the event of a fall or other accident.


Angel of death

While in the Christian tradition the most famous angels are Gabriel and Michael, in Islam the most mentioned are Jibril, which is the Arabic name for Gabriel, and the angel of death Azrail. It is also interesting to say that in the foundations of the Islamic belief, by which an individual confirms that he is a Muslim, immediately after believing in one God, comes another belief that says: I believe in the angels of God.

Traditionally, the Bosniak people are prone to fatalism, as evidenced by the following legend about how one night an angel Azrail came to a man to take his soul. The poor man was terrified of dying and death, so he cried and begged Azrail on his knees to let him escape and continue to live. The angel allowed him to do so and he rushed outside, rode his horse and hurried across the meadow towards the forest and further in the direction of the hill. The frightened man rode for almost an hour, constantly turning back, afraid that Azrail would follow him. At some point of joy and inattention, as he escaped death, at the bend of the old road his horse crashed down a sharp slope. As he was losing consciousness and dying, the angel Azrail appeared before him and said to him, "Behold, man, here God has ordained you to die, in this very place. Now you see that death cannot be escaped, it awaits you in a place that you are destined ".

Probably in some connection with this tradition, at least because of the horse, is the popular belief that the angel Azrail appears in a dream as a white horse and with his appearance hints at the death of a loved one.

Following the example of Zarathustra's seven archangels, who are in constant confrontation with demons, this eternal struggle between good and evil is also reflected in Bosnian traditions. Through it, our people in a poetic way evoked and approached their understanding of the natural phenomena with which they have been surrounded since the beginning.

Namely, folklore claims that there are two angels, the first of which is blind and the second deaf. Allah sends them every time to drive away clouds and storms where He wants to punish people for some sin. But if one who is not deaf hears the sound of the call to prayer (Azan), he will immediately direct the clouds to the opposite side of that place, and thus save him from the weather. It is also said that in this plan the devil (shaitan) wants to stop him, so a fight breaks out between the two of them. When an angel swings his sword at the devil, then, according to legend, lightning strikes the sky.

At the end of the first part of the text about angels, it would be worth mentioning another Bosnian belief that says the following: whoever sleeps on his back all night is guarded by an angel, and whoever sleeps on his stomach is surrounded by devils.
