From ancient times people believe that some objects are able to protect them from dangers, diseases and black magic, to attract luck, happiness, wealth and other benefits. Such things are called talismans. It is customary to carry them with you or to keep them in the house to be under the auspices of higher powers. People who do not yet have a personal magic protector need to figure out how to make a talisman themselves. After its appearance, they will immediately feel how life began to change for the better.
The difference between a talisman and an amulet
The words "amulet" and "talisman" are considered equivalent and are used interchangeably.
But the difference between them, though small, is:
- The amulet protects a person from negative magical effects, diseases and misfortunes. It can be material (pectoral cross, runic transformation, horseshoe over the front door, etc. ) or intangible (conspiracy, whisper).
- The talisman is an object with supernatural power, which simultaneously protects from trouble and negative energy, attracts happiness and luck. This can be an object that is carried with you or kept in the house, or a living creature, such as a cat.
Will a homemade mascot work?
To become the owner of an effective security feature, you can do it yourself.
According to esotericists, the self-made amulet has more pronounced magical properties than the one that was donated or purchased.
When a person does something protective for himself, he fills it while working with his energy. Thanks to this, the mascot begins to perceive him as a master and help him in all matters.
But it will be possible to achieve such an effect, provided that a person creates an amulet in a good mood, without holding an insult or evil against anyone.
If he begins to radiate negativity into the universe, he will fulfill the magical attribute with negative energy. Such a thing will not be able to prevent problems and attract good luck.
What can talismans and amulets be made of?
In the production of amulets raw materials of natural origin are used: wood, natural threads, fur, leather and others. These materials perfectly absorb negative energy from the outside world, protecting the wearer from its destructive effects.
wood
Affordable and effective material for making amulets at home. Bracelets, pendants and other magical attributes are made of it.
In order for a home mascot to maximize its magical properties, the energy of the material is taken into account when making it.
Ladies are advised to choose female trees (aspen, cherry, birch, etc. ), the stronger sex - male trees (oak, hazel).
In addition, each tree has its own supernatural properties:
- mountain ash protects from evil spirits;
- alder protects against adultery, helps those who do good deeds;
- the cherry preserves youth;
- aspen protects from evil spirits;
- hazelnut attracts wealth, protects against thieves;

Fur
Natural fur contains the energy of a killed animal, so it should be used with caution to create an amulet. This material will help self-confident people who are used to taking risks and showing aggression in order to achieve their goals.
A harmless person with a pleasant character will not benefit from a leather amulet.

Leather
The skin should be treated with caution for the same reason as the fur. Not suitable for a good-hearted person who prefers a quiet life with his family.

- Go to the pond and throw it into the water (this method is chosen for heavy objects that sink easily).
Before parting with the amulet, you should thank him for the help he has provided all along, and apologize for saying goodbye to him. After the ritual you can make a new amulet.
