How a Talisman is Made

How a Talisman is Made - (2563)

Charged or Condensed

A talisman is essentially made by condensed something magical into the base material of the talisman.

If the talisman for example, is a gold ring then the ceremony or rite that consecrates the ring, thus making it a talisman, is the activity that charges the ring with a certain force, energy, power or spiritual substance that gives it its magical properties.

A talisman can be made by either by charging as explained above or by condensing, where energies, substances and forces from a planet, an angel, an elemental are drawn into the ring.

Hebrew Magical Tradition

The Hebrew word for talisman is qamea which comes from the Hebrew qama which means to bind to to knot. The Hebrew word for talisman actually allows us to understand quite a bit about what a talisman is and how it is made.

So a talisman is also a link or a tie to some force, where that force could be am angel, a planet, the Cosmic Christ and the elementals of nature (salamanders of fire, the slyphs of the air, the gnomes of the Earth and the undines of the water). Talismans, magical rings, amulets, swords etc. have a rich history in the Hebrew magical tradition and there are many procedures that one can encounter within that tradition to consecrate talismans.

A consecration is essentially a link to a certain force, which in some way in certain instances constitutes a kind of membership or active office or status.

So once again the magical rite or ceremony is what makes a talisman magical and it is what gives it, its magical properties of protection and generating light, energy and certain qualities that our essence may need.

In the next post I will describe how talismans work for us.

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure. Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this. In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...
