Amulets and talismans, amulets and their meaning. What do symbols on amulets and talismans mean?

Amulets, charms, talismans ... Their magic was undeniable in antiquity, it is not belittled in our days. These items combine their primary purpose - protecting the owner from disasters. But amulets, charms, talismans are able to perform other functions. The magical effect of these objects is different, as are their manufacture. Only a dedicated magician, observing ritualistic rituals, makes powerful amulets for a specific person for specific purposes. And talismans with their own hands can not always be done - they are best received as a gift or bought in ready-made form, in accordance with the advice of astrology. The most effective amulets are those made for you by the hands of those who love blood relatives.

Etymology of words

Obereg - Slavonic word, whose root is "shore". This is the boundary between the dangerous unpredictable element of Water (the sea) and the relatively safe element of the Earth. Clinging to the shore, shipwrecked people saved their lives. The practical purpose of this object is heard in the very word - to protect.

Amulet is the Latin word. Perhaps it is derived from the phrase moli letum, which translates as "turn death away". One can not ignore another hypothesis of the origin of the word - from the Arabic hamalet, which means "to wear": amulets are often worn.

The origin of the word "talisman" usually comes down to two variants: from the Arabic talisam, whose translation is "to create a magic sign", or from the Greek τέλεσμα (effect, charms).

Obereg - what's in that word?

Let's start with amulets. And immediately we will make a reservation that amulets and talismans are embodied in the objects of the material world. But amulets are not only things made by man or created by nature. A lot of them are verbal: prayers, conspiracies, spells, whispers. There are charms-gestures, for example, the sign of the cross. Nests of stork or swallows have long been considered symbols of family happiness and well-being. Three-wool cat in the house will "insure" against the fire. Garlic cloves and even their smell, a pinch of salt thrown over the left shoulder will protect against evil spirits. The guard protects not only the body of its owner, but also the world around it. This object is most often located in a conspicuous place, unlike an amulet, which is preferable to hide from prying eyes. It is not a charm for a spell read with the intent of "harming" anyone, even a villain.

Briefly about amulets

Ancient Roman scientist Pliny (Elder) in his book "Natural History" gave this definition to the amulet: "An object that repels misfortune from man." Many people consider this interpretation to be the most correct one. The amulet protects against negative influences, which can adversely affect luck, health.

For an amulet they select a material, a form for expressing its physical body, magical symbols for giving energy strength. The final stage is a ritual ritual aimed at reviving the amulet.

Amulet is an individual thing, it must be made by a master of magic and charged with a certain energy specially for a particular owner. You can do it yourself, but you will have to share your energy. Or to pay something dear for you in exchange for the magical powers of the Subtle World, concentrating in the amulet. On the subject, which is prepared for such a role, ritual actions are carried out according to all the rules. The spells, the place and time of the ritual are important here, the sequence of actions. After that, the amulet is charged with the magical power that connects the person with the higher essence, comes to life and begins to act.

The amulet is active in the direction that is embedded in it by a specific thoughtform, in other words, what it is charged to. The amulet is able to perform (apart from protecting from visible and invisible enemies) additionally only one specific function - to attract love or luck, to preserve vitality. Therefore, the assertion that a magical object is charged for all occasions is false. The most effective is the one that performs only one role - a defender or assistant. For protection, he absorbs the negative energy that comes to man from outside as well as within him. Amulet-helper accumulates strength. And if necessary, it feeds on its owner. It is an intimate thing, it is hidden from someone else's view, and you can not touch strangers to it. Know: the malicious intentions accumulated in the amulet can be addressed to others, which is practiced by unkind people.

Talisman is a magnet of well-being

This item becomes magical after some time of communication with the owner. The talisman has a character, so it is extremely important that it matches the astrological data of the possessor of this thing. The talisman has no logic, sympathy or love for the owner. It has certain properties and specific tasks. He works on the attraction of luck, financial well-being, strengthening of vitality and sexual attractiveness, attracting successes to the person to whom he belongs. The talisman works inside the person, directing his thoughts and actions in the right direction, strengthening the positive in character and weakening the negative features. But he can not develop new qualities that were not originally inherent in nature. Most often talismans are gems. Therefore, it is extremely important to approach the selection of a stone with knowledge of the astrological data of the person to whom it belongs. A talisman can be not only a thing made of some material, but also an image of an object (a book, a mask, a horseshoe), an animal (a lion, a black cat), a bird (eagle), an insect (grasshopper, ladybug), plants (clover , Narcissus). They can become everything with which happy memories are connected (a toy, a tea cup and even a shrapnel from it). Talisman can not be gestures or verbal amulets - prayers, conspiracies, spells. It is not necessary to perform ritual actions above it. It can be both individual and common (four leaf - unofficial symbols of Ireland, Olympic symbols).

The Meaning of Amulets and Talismans

Some, most often pessimists and atheists, strongly do not believe in the power of magic items, calling amulets and talismans trinkets. Others doubt, not daring to finally make a choice: to believe - not to believe. Third, superstitious optimists, believe without hesitation.

Let us assume that the theory of the energy possibilities of these objects works. It is wonderful! Otherwise, amulets and talismans give self-confidence, and self-hypnosis is a powerful tool. It remains to make our own efforts in the right direction to achieve the set life goals. And there, you see, and will be rewarded - by faith. Hence the conclusion: amulets and talismans help only those who believe in their magical power.

Simple Protecting Items

In every house there are objects, the defensive power of which was believed by the ancestors-Slavs, being pagans. These beliefs have reached even to this day.

The needles in the house must be strictly registered. And not because the lost can stick in the arm-leg, but because the house does not appear superfluous, which the evil envious person began to argue about quarrels and strife in your family.

Runes

A person who firmly stands on the positions of materialism considers the runes to be an ancient cuneiform writing. However, runes are not an easy thing, if you take them in a fundamentally different way. This is a set of symbols that make up the most magical system of the ancient world. These are magical talismans and amulets. With these attributes of a pagan cult mercilessly fought the Inquisition - right up to the burning of a bonfire caught in wearing a rune amulet. But the runes were not destroyed. They are revered to this day as magic symbols. Amulets, talismans made of stone or wood with runic symbols on them are the strongest condensers of spiritual energy that can affect the person and the world around him. This influence can be both positive (protecting and helping), and negative. Therefore, it is better to order from the master runic amulets and talismans. You can make such objects with your own hands only if you fully understand the meaning of symbols, techniques of production, ritual rites (for amulets), for which you need special knowledge in sufficient volume.

What do the symbols mean?

Talismans and amulets, the photos of which are given here, have magical power thanks to the symbols. What do they mean?

Let's continue the conversation about the runes: each has its own wisdom and energy, aimed at achieving a specific goal.
