Talisman Troubles, Mitigate my paranoia... Options

Hello All!

Over a year ago now, I created a talisman to disrupt any negative vibes/interference/actions (whatever) that would hinder me as I applied for a vocational position. At the time, I was in the company of some virulent individuals, who were also new agers/pagans/magicians, who had been trying to sabotage my life progress in general (primarily through psychological abuse). I don't believe in curses (or magick really, but hey), but I feel that I had been cursed in many ways by these people (practically speaking, through psychological abuse if nothing else). Above all else, I wanted to make sure that they would not do, and could not do, anything to hinder me.

It turned out that I was accepted to the position I had applied towards, and so I announced this to the world. Within two weeks though, due to a "bureaucratic error," I was informed that I wouldn't be appointed to the position after all-- it was a strange, freak error. This was devastating at the time, since I had given my landlord a month's notice and quit my current sources of income. Even more, the persons who I was around were now after me with a vengeance for having intended to make decisions without their negative input.

I've long since gotten out of that very bad situation, thank god, and am quite stabilized. But I've wondered ever since if, somehow, the talisman I made had been defective or backfired. The symbol was basically a wadjet eye, which in general has been used to protect against "the evil eye"-- but perhaps, as I made it, the evil eye was attracted? I have wondered this especially since I had anxieties as I made the talisman that it would backfire freakishly-- perhaps this anxiety mis-charged the sigil as I created it?

Ever had a talisman backfire? Let me know your thoughts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Siglis used to back fire and fail on me all the time because of contaminated thoughts. Never had a talisman do that though. You say sigil and talisman so I'm going to assume it was a sigil you could wear rather than some complex mash-up of symbols aliened in proper astrological ways. Talismans mostly work by correspondence that attract energies linked to your desire. Naturally, the particulars change with the system, but talismans made in the CM fashion aren't susceptible to mental contamination. If one did back fired then it was because of elements that repel or more likely attracted something at odds with (or irrelevant) your goal.

I've had this kind of thing happen when I was younger. Almost invariably, it was my inability to "keep silent" before the effect of the working was complete.
Sounds alot like your situation.
