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.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
