Since ancient times, people have believed that certain objects can protect them from dangers, diseases and black magic, and attract good luck, happiness, wealth and other benefits. Such things are called talismans. It is customary to carry them with you or keep them in the house in order to be under the protection of higher powers. People who do not yet have a personal magical 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 a talisman
The words "amulet" and "talisman" are considered to be equivalent and used as synonyms.
But the difference between them, albeit small, is:
- The amulet protects a person from negative magical effects, diseases and misfortunes. It can be material (pectoral cross, runic stave, horseshoe over the front door, etc. ) or immaterial (plot, whisper).
- A talisman is an object with supernatural powers that simultaneously protects against troubles and negative energy, and attracts happiness and good luck. It can be either an object that is carried with you or kept in the house, or a living creature, such as a cat.
Will a homemade talisman work?
To become the owner of an effective protective item, you can make it yourself.
According to esotericists, an amulet made with one’s own hands has more pronounced magical properties than one that was given or purchased.
When a person makes a protective thing for himself, he fills it with his energy while working. Thanks to this, the talisman begins to perceive him as the owner and help him in all matters.
But it will be possible to achieve such an effect provided that the person creates the amulet in a good mood, without holding grudges or grudges against anyone.
If he begins to broadcast negativity into the universe, he will fill the magical attribute with negative energy. Such a thing will not be able to protect against problems and attract luck.
What can talismans and amulets be made from?
In the manufacture of amulets, raw materials of natural origin are used: wood, natural threads, fur, leather, etc. These materials perfectly absorb negative energy from the outside world, protecting the owner from its destructive effects.
Wood
An affordable and effective material for making amulets at home. Bracelets, pendants and other magical attributes are made from it.
In order for a homemade talisman to be able 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. ), while representatives of the stronger sex choose male trees (oak, hazel).
In addition, each tree has its own supernatural properties:
- Rowan protects from evil spirits;
- alder protects against adultery, helps those who do good deeds;
- cherry preserves youth;
- aspen protects against evil spirits;
- hazel attracts wealth, protects against thieves;
- oak protects from the evil eye and curses, strengthens the energy field.
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 accustomed to taking risks and showing aggression to achieve their goals.
A harmless person with an easy-going character will not benefit from a fur amulet.
Genuine Leather
Leather should be treated with caution for the same reason as fur. It is not suitable for a person with a kind heart who prefers a quiet life with his family.
Leather amulets are the choice of those who are used to walking on the edge of a knife.
Burlap and natural fabric
Fabric talismans are easy to sew with your own hands. Most often they are made in the form of protective dolls. Such products are suitable for everyone, regardless of gender, age and type of activity.
Threads and tapes
Natural threads and ribbons are universal materials from which amulets can be made for people of any age, gender and occupation. They are used to make protective dolls, bracelets, pendants for cars and other protective attributes.
Herbs, flowers and berries
Many plants have magical powers that a person can use for his own benefit.
Properties of herbs, berries and flowers in talismans:
- St. John's wort and hawthorn protect against evil spirits;
- rosehip gives well-being, transforms negative energy into positive;
- Rowan protects against magical effects;
- elderberry heals diseases, protects against witchcraft;
- elm helps to gain valuable knowledge;
- verbena develops the gift of foresight, attracts the opposite sex, heals and protects from evil spirits;
- elecampane protects from damage and the evil eye, attracts love, drives away diseases;
- Ivan da Marya helps to preserve love and fidelity;
- chamomile relieves anxiety and attracts love;
- nettle removes damage, protects against witchcraft and the evil eye, gives courage;
- Clover and sage bring good luck and prosperity.
Stones and minerals
Precious and semi-precious stones are not the most suitable material for making a talisman with your own hands, since they require processing, which is impossible to do without special tools and skills.
But if there is such a possibility, then the master needs to take into account his horoscope compatibility with the selected gem.
Wax
Beeswax has long been used to create amulets against damage, everyday problems and diseases. For protective purposes, both candles and figurines made from melted wax are used.
Salty dough
Salt has long been famous for its ability to absorb negativity, so it is used to protect against the evil eye and witchcraft. By adding it to the dough, you can obtain a plastic material with magical properties, suitable for creating protective figurines.
In order for the salt dough talisman to bring the desired benefits, additional ingredients are added to it:
- garlic - protects against the tricks of evil spirits;
- sunflower seeds - used in children's amulet to protect the child from diseases;
- egg - helps those who dream of procreation;
- millet – protects against the evil eye;
- poppy - fulfills wishes;
- cereals and beans - attract wealth and give physical strength.
Rules for creating a talisman or amulet for good luck
When making a protective item yourself, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Perform all actions alone, without being distracted by extraneous sounds and activities.
- While working, mentally communicate with the talisman, ask it for help, and fill it with your positive energy.
- Create an amulet in a room illuminated by moonlight or sunlight. Do not sit down to work when the sky is overcast.
- While working, read a prayer addressed to your guardian angel, or "Our Father. "
- Believe in the magical power of the manufactured item.

The best home talismans and amulets for good luck
To create a homemade amulet, you can use materials that are found in almost every home.
Embroidered ribbon
From time immemorial, in Slavic lands, women decorated their heads with ribbons on which protective symbols were embroidered. Any needlewoman can make such a talisman at home.
For this she will need:
- red silk or cotton ribbon;
- natural colored embroidery threads;
- needle;
- hoop.
Having placed the ribbon in the hoop, you should embroider on it images of natural objects that can protect a person from evil. These include the sun, moon, stars, earth, plants, water, etc.
It is not at all necessary to decorate your head with a finished ribbon. It can be tied to a bag, sewn to clothing, or worn on the wrist instead of a bracelet. In each of these cases, the tape will protect the one who created it from external negativity.
Runic becoming or one rune
A powerful amulet will be a piece of wood or cardboard on which runes or rune staves that have protective powers are painted.
You can use symbols such as:
- Algiz (protects from people with bad intentions, envy and gossip, accidents, bankruptcy).
- Thurisaz (protects against gossip, toxic relationships, damage, intrigue, envy).
- Teyvaz (protects home and money, helps a person overcome obstacles on the way to the goal).
- Isa (neutralizes negative external influences, helps the owner get out of a conflict situation with minimal losses).
- Algiz - Odal - Algiz (standing for the safety of the house).
- Algiz - Eyvaz - Isa (the formula protects a person and his family from magical influence and indicates the one who committed witchcraft).
If the rune talisman is intended to protect housing, it is hidden in the house. A personal amulet is carried with you, placed in a bag, pocket or wallet.
Enchanted Ring
Having received a ring as a gift or bought a new one, you can spell it for happiness and good luck.

Then the ring must be placed for 7 days in a glass of spring water, to which a pinch of salt has been added.
The enchanted ring must be worn by the one who cast it. You cannot give it to strangers, otherwise it will lose its power.

- When the specified time has expired, cut a piece of wood from the branch and begin making the amulet.
Step-by-step production:

After the figurine is completely dry, it can be used for protective purposes.

For the craft you will need:
- pieces of natural fur;
- foam;

What to do if the talisman doesn’t work or you can’t make it
The amulet created with your own hands should manifest its magical properties within a few days after the start of use. If it does not work, it means that mistakes were made during its manufacture.
Most often, the lack of results is faced by those who made the talisman in a bad mood or were distracted by extraneous thoughts while working. In this case, it is worth trying to create a magical thing again.
In a situation where you cannot make an amulet, do not despair. You can order its production from a master or purchase a ready-made protective symbol.
It is important that the item pleases its owner. Then she will protect him.
Activation of the talisman
Any homemade or purchased talisman should be charged with magical power before use. They do this with the help of 4 elements: Water, Earth, Air and Fire.
Activation sequence:
- Bury the amulet in the ground for half an hour.
- Rinse it with spring or well water.
- Fumigate it with incense or leave it in the fresh air for half an hour.
- Hold it for 1-2 minutes over a burning candle or fire.
It is advisable to carry out all stages of activation in one day. In the evening after the ceremony, you need to put the product under your pillow and go to bed. In the morning you can start using the talisman.
How to use
The amulet will help if it is worn correctly and periodically cleansed of the negative energy that it absorbs during use. In addition, you need to learn how to say goodbye to a magical attribute when it ceases to fulfill its protective function.
Wearing
When wearing a talisman, the following rules must be observed:
- Try to wear the protective symbol every day for at least several hours. It must be constantly fed by the energy of the owner.
- Wear or take the talisman with you every time you need support from higher powers.
- No one other than the owner should wear or hold his amulet.
- Hide a magical item from prying eyes. Thanks to this, she will protect her owner better and longer.
Cleaning the talisman
The amulet tends to absorb negative energy directed by other people against its owner. Once he becomes overwhelmed with negativity, his defenses weaken and he stops helping.
A cleansing ritual will help restore the talisman’s magical properties, with the help of which it will be possible to rid it of accumulated energy.
To do this you need:
- Sprinkle salt in an even layer on the bottom of the glass container.
- Place the amulet in the dish.
- Cover it with salt and leave for 12 hours, then remove and shake off.
This ritual is repeated every time the amulet stops helping.
How to part with a talisman
When the amulet breaks or tears, this indicates that it is so filled with negative energy that it can no longer fulfill its protective mission. A failed attribute must be disposed of.
You can do this in 2 ways:
- Burn it on a fire or in the flame of a wax candle (suitable for items made of fabric, paper or other materials that burn well).
- Go to a pond and throw it into the water (this method is chosen for heavy objects that sink easily).
Before parting with the amulet, you need to thank it for the help it provided throughout the entire time and apologize for having to say goodbye to it. After the ritual, you can make yourself a new amulet.
