Protection talismans have long been used as a means to bring positive energy, ward off negative influences, and offer overall protection to a home. These talismans, typically in the form of charms, symbols, or objects, are believed to possess special powers and are often placed in strategic locations within the home to maximize their effectiveness. One popular protection talisman is the evil eye charm. This ancient symbol, shaped like an eye, is believed to protect against the evil eye, a malevolent gaze believed to cause harm or misfortune. The evil eye charm is thought to deflect negative energy and protect the home and its inhabitants from any ill intentions. Another common protection talisman is the horseshoe.

Bill Ortiz: Points of View
Long associated with Carlos Santana , with whom he had a 16-year stint, trumpeter Bill Ortiz steps into the spotlight here with an auspicious and highly entertaining session. Ten selections showcase Ortiz who is supported by some of the Bay area's best. The order of the day is energy, excitement, and an overall superb show.
"Sunburst," an Eddie Henderson tune, launches things with a pulsing piano, driving bass, textured rhythms and Ortiz wailing, first using a Harmon mute then an open horn over a deep percussion bed. "Alex the Great" keeps the exotica going up-tempo with Ortiz and saxophonist Azar Lawrence starting, and a fine Matt Clark piano solo. Wilton Felder 's "Aint Gon Change A Thang" is another burner with Latin overtones, featuring a fine Lawrence tenor solo, and Ortiz adding pedalled effects.
Ortiz is an outstanding modern player who, while reflecting the aforementioned Henderson, Woody Shaw , Miles Davis , and their influences, draws heavily on his electric, contemporary experiences with Santana, et al. With a fine sound, great range and fluidity, he commands his horn and it spews truth.
With homage to Jaco Pastorius , the ensemble presents a lengthy, expansive panorama of trumpeted Ortiz effects reverberating over fire- brand percussion on "Okonkole y Trompa." "A Toast to the People," a chant-like testimony is brilliantly delivered by vocalist Terrie Odabi . "Fusion/Noche Cubana" is pure, unadulterated polyrhythmic frenzy, over which vocalist Christelle Durandy and both Ortiz and Lawrence thrive. Wayne Shorter 's textured "Oriental Folk Song" has Ortiz and Lawrence stating the melody before a blue groove takes stage and each is blowing hard. "My Lord and Master" from The King and I closes things in a subdued, reverent manner.
Vocalist Terri Odabi is featured on two tracks and exhibits an inviting voice. The supporting group is outstanding; pianist Matt Clark, bassist John Santos , drummer, Dennis Chambers and percussionists are all terrific as ensemble and soloists. The album's sound and other production values are impeccable.
Points of View from Bill Ortiz is a stellar performance in every regard. It is easily one of the best recordings released in 2023.

Some believe that the placement of the horseshoe, pointing upwards to retain good luck, or downwards to pour luck onto the home, can further enhance its protective properties. The Tibetan protective knot, or the "Endless Knot," is a sacred symbol representing the eternal interweaving of wisdom and compassion. It is widely used as a protection talisman in Tibetan culture. This knot is believed to provide protection against negative energies, promote peace and harmony, and bring good fortune to the home. In Feng Shui, a Chinese philosophy that emphasizes the harmonious arrangement of space, various talismans are used to protect the home. The Bagua mirror, for example, is a popular choice. This octagonal mirror, usually encased in a red frame, is believed to reflect negative energy and protect the home from harm. Another commonly used Feng Shui talisman is the Fu Dog. These lion-like creatures are often placed near entrances to guard against negative influences and bring good luck. Other protection talismans include the Hamsa, an open hand symbolizing protection against the evil eye in many cultures, and different crystals such as black tourmaline and obsidian, which are believed to have strong protective energies. Overall, protection talismans for the home are an ancient and diverse practice aimed at creating a safe and harmonious living environment. These talismans play on the belief in the power of symbols, objects, and energies and are often chosen based on personal beliefs and cultural traditions. Whether it's through specific symbols, charms, or objects, protection talismans offer a sense of security and positivity to many homeowners worldwide..
