The sacred talisman of the devoted holds a significant place in many religious and spiritual practices around the world. This talisman, often a small object or symbol, is believed to possess spiritual power and is cherished by its owner. It serves as a physical representation of their devotion and connection to their faith. The concept of a sacred talisman is deeply rooted in ancient beliefs and traditions. Throughout history, people have sought ways to connect with the divine and to harness its power for protection, guidance, and blessings. The talisman serves as a conduit for this connection, acting as a link between the spiritual and physical realms.
The striking Church of the Sacred Heart (Sacré-Cœur) that dominates the northern Paris skyline is the product of visions received by Marguerite-Marie Alacoque of the Visitationist order in the 1680's. Receiving numerous apparitions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Marie-Marguerite maintained that should France put itself under the sign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, earthly triumph would enhance the kingdom and its prosperity. The connection between religion and politics was hardly novel in the absolutist state, but as that state succumbed to secularism and democratization the connection became more fraught. During the French Revolution the Sacred Heart became a talisman, worn to restore the Catholic monarchy, while in the nineteenth century devotion to the Sacred Heart came to equate with a steadfast anti-republicanism.
Other major grassroots devotions, such as those spreading from the religious orders among students and alumnae of the many Sacred Heart schools, are less explored. The connection between religion and politics was hardly novel in the absolutist state, but as that state succumbed to secularism and democratization the connection became more fraught.
The talisman serves as a conduit for this connection, acting as a link between the spiritual and physical realms. It is believed to carry the energy of the divine or supernatural forces and can bring about positive outcomes and ward off evil or harm. The specific form of the sacred talisman varies across different cultures and religions.
Why Consecrated Silver Craft Talisman ?
CONSECRATED SILVER CRAFT : PURPOSE AND RITUAL PROCESS :
" Consecrated Silver Craft " represents uniquely designed and handcrafted Ritual Celtic Silver Talismans, inspired with Celtic mythology and folklore, Greenworld and Otherworld journeys.
Each piece is designed and handcrafted in old-fashioned way, without using any molds or casting, which makes every piece completely unique and one of a kind.
Every Talisman is created in specific Ogham Tree month, connected and attuned to associated tree, specific deities, guides, sites and purpose,
Revitalized with Moon, Consecrated with Fire and Water, and Awakened on a full Moon night.
Each Consecrated Silver Craft Talisman has carefully chosen crystals (which stands for precious and semi-precious stones, rocks and minerals that have a crystalline structure at their hearts and tektites or other stones, that don`t), and each chosen crystal is specially selected according to desired purpose, cleansed, awakened, charged and programmed,along with Talisman creation, – according to the phases of the Moon:
New moon : selecting, beginning of design, cleansing
Waxing moon : charging
Full moon : Awakening, Programming, Ritual Consecration
Consecration of a Talisman is final, sacred part of creation, and happens in the night of a Full Moon: Each Silver piece is then purified and Consecrated with Sacred Fire and Sacred Water, Revitalized with full Moon energy, Attuned to associated Ogham tree, and linked with Otherworld, through Sacred Hallows.
After Consecration, Talisman is programmed for specific or desired purpose (healing, expanding awareness, catalyzing spirituality, cleansing subtle bodies and spirit centres, connecting to other realms and beings, Otherworld journeys, enhancing health, well being, beauty, magical powers, protection, achieving personal goals, awakening inspiration, passion, love, creativity, etc.) In the end, each Talisman is tarnished and polished to achieve archaic and old look.
WHAT IS A TALISMAN ?
A Talisman is a magical object, ritually created and consecrated,
which is used or worn to instill and enhance spiritual, mental and magical power.
Talismans, with embedded crystals, have a natural interaction with the Numinous; when holding or wearing a Talisman one activates and channels power in him/herself, drawing power from the Sacred for desired purpose. Some stones posses an energetic resonance with the sacred sites with which they are paired, and in this way, when embedded inside a Talisman, allow wearer to connect with specific sacred sites.
Talismans are natural amplifiers that lead wearer to the right thoughts; they give more power, strength and energy to the one who possesses them, and they enhance personal power and magic of the wearer, instilling power, wisdom, confidence, inspiration and magic .
Contrary to the Amulet (which is used to ward off evil, negative energy, illness etc) which can be a bag filled with stones, herbs, magical things, garlic, crucifixes, coal, runes, lucky coins, horseshoes…,A Talisman is a handcrafted, consecrated object, usually made of precious or semi-precious metals, such as silver, gold and copper, and often contains embedded crystal as energetic centre and oversouI of the whole piece. A Talisman is usually a single piece, like a pendant, ring, handband, armband or a torc, but it can be formed as combination of more elements.
In comparison to the Talisman and Amulet, it is seen that amulets come in natural form and are used to ward-off unwanted, whereas TALISMANS are used to connect, channel, increase and attract desired, and are hand-created objects, awakened through consecration ceremony.
Some examples of Talismans in mythology are Irish, Welsh and Nordic rings, Excalibur, a magical rod, Nuada`s sword, Chalice, magical pendants etc. Examples of Amulets in mythology are Manannan`s Crane bag, witch bags filled with herbs and magical objects, feathers, stones, garlic, coals, runes, coins, crucifixes, horseshoes etc.
The word „Talisman“ comes from the word „telesma“, which means „ Consecration Ceremony“
