Talisman Options

I was wondering being a newbie, when making a talisman how important it is making it on the correct day and planetary hour, also if you made it on a waning moon instead of a waxing moon like i should ,will it still work but have less affect, or will it do the opposite and not work. any reccomende sites for talismans would be much appreciated.

Best Regards Mark

The purpose of creating an amulet, or any charm for that matter, at certain times under specific conditions is to fine tune the energy your drawing out and placing into the object. Its sort of like creating a machine. Creating machines to do different things requires them to be built with different elements. For example, say you want to make a machanical clock and a cammera. In order to make both you'd need different matterials and have to construct them in ways that will allow them to function for their purpose. Think of a talismen as a machine and making one for love would require different elements then one for protection. Making different talismens to carry out different functions requires them to be constructed at different times under specific conditions because those times and situations are specific to the type of talismen your making. Ganted the energies used are anywhere and everywhere in nearly infanite quantities all that means is there is more than one way to make a talismen. mMking one can also be compared to wood carving. Wood is availibe in large quantites as well but it takes a specific art, or practice, to be able to work it into some kind of finished product. To make a candle holder as a pose to a table requires different techniques. But again there is more than one method for creating the same thing - its no different for talismens. Really it requires experimentation and practice. maybe what you should do is create multiple talismens using different techniques. If you have two talismens for love and each was made using a different process then you should be able to tell which would work better.

oh! very nice analogy! you vibrated a nerve with that one, mr A!

in my low, primal witchy style i'd have to use ogham o course, but higher meaning could still be established

could use a clockwork, too, or one of those scent players!

always turning and changing, but still providing for the same effect with different symbology under each different time and association

kinda like a clock - wonder if you could just use a cheap clock movement and a painted board (at least to test the concept to see if it works at all)?

very, very interesting! (and i bet it's been done or at least thought of before - it had to have been!)
