Making a planetary talisman

1. The timing

You have your talisman designed. Now, you may want to determine the right time when to make the talisman. One of the most commonly used ways of timing a magical action such as making a talisman is following the system of planetary days and hours. According to this practice, a Venus talisman is best made on the day of Venus, which is Friday, during the hour of Venus. While there is agreement concerning the planetary days, there are several methods of calculating the planetary hours. The system most in use begins the day of the planet at six o'clock in the evening of the day before. The sequence of the planets is the same as was shown in previous lessons: SATURN, JUPITER, MARS, SUN, VENUS, MERCURY, and MOON. Every day begins with the hour of its ruling planet. Therefore, the first hour of Sunday, the day of the Sun, begins at six p.m. Saturday, which is the first hour of the Sun at the day of the Sun. You may use the following table to determine the times and days.

Sun = Sun, Moo = Moon, Mar = Mars, Mer = Mercury, Jup = Jupiter, Ven = Venus, Sat = Saturn

I mentioned before that you may make a talisman AT ANY TIME. However, the more elements you consider in connection with the specific energy or energies for which you are about to make a battery (a rechargeable battery, so to say), the more this talisman will contain the vibrations of those energies and the less your efforts need to be to tie those energies to the talisman.

Personally, I have made talismans that had no inscription at all and which I have made completely disregarding any time considerations and astrological considerations. Those talismans were nevertheless very strong. However, before you attempt to do this, you need to have a very advanced knowledge of the processes involved.

On the other hand, by observing as many talismanic elements as possible, you can make talismans which are equal, even better, of many talismans which are made by professional talismanologists.

2. Cleansing the materials

If you work with metal, you may cleanse with the four elements. The four elements are very important in talismanic work. For more about them see the course in cosmic consciousness (http://www.magitech.com/coscons). If you are not familiar with the four elements, there is no reason to panic. For now, it is sufficient for you to follow the procedures which are outlined below. The cleansing effect will be there no matter whether you are extremely knowledgeable of the elements or whether you have absolutely no idea thereof.

First, have the metal in a dish with sand, or earth, for a day. As you put the metal into the dish, you strongly visualize (imagine) that any impurity which pertains to the earth element will be absorbed by the earth or sand in the dish. Discard the earth after you have taken the metal disk out of it. Next, you put the disk in water for one day. Proceed the same way as with earth. Next, you heat the metal over a candle flame (with a pair of pliers, of course'), strongly imagining that all impurities pertaining to the fire element are cleansed away, and last you cool the nmetal by swinging it through the air in circles. While you do that, you imagine that all impurities which pertain to the air element are blown out of the disc of metal.

If the material is paper or parchment, you proceed in a different way, of course. First, light a candle. Then, light some incense. A stick of frankincense is excellent. This is, so, because frankincense has superior cleansing qualities. Have a cup with water and a dish with earth on the altar. What follows is a process of imagination, as was with the metal disc. After a brief meditation, look at the paper or parchment. See it connected with the four elements which are symbolized by the objects on your table. Imagine that the impurities are drawn away for the talisman to be. Finally, take the talisman, hold it in your hand, and strongly blow on it, imagining that all impurities are blown out of it into their respective elements. Blow first, connecting with the fire element. Next connect with the air element, then with water, and finally with earth. Similar procedures apply to crystals and gemstones. Those may also be put into salt water for a day or so. Salt is a universal cleanser that absorbs impurities. Therefore, you may also use salt for metal and for paper or parchment. In this latter case salt is recommended, of course, and not salt water. When working with salt, be sure to imagine that the impurities will be absorbed.

A focus on the four elements will enhance as well: First, imagine the impurities of fire being absorbed by the salt, then the impurities of the air element, then of the water element, and finally of the earth element. The cleansing, of course, has to be done before the time that you determined the making of the talisman.

3. The set up

Clean off a table. On the table, put things representing the four elements: A candle, incense, a cup with water, and a dish with earth, or sand. Instead of the dish with earth, you may use a crystal. Arrange the objects as shown below. Now, set the Sator Arepo talisman that you made in lesson two on the table, at the center of the four elements. Your workspace is in front of the symbolism of the four elements. The Sator Arepo talisman serves as an intensifier of the planetary energies you will put into the talisman that you are going to make. If you make the Venus talisman that we described in the preceding lesson, you should begin do this at the hour of Venus on the day of Venus. Four hours are available for this purpose: Thursday evening from 6 to 7 p.m., Friday early morning from 1 to 2 a.m. (ideal!), Friday morning from 8 to 9 a.m., and Friday afternoon from 3 to 4 p.m. Have your parchment ready, and the green colored pen (Venus).

4. Drawing the talisman

Enter a brief meditation. If you are familiar with the ONENESS meditation, or cosmic consciousness meditation, bring yourself into this state of alignment of the four elements.

Now, begin to draw the talisman on the parchment. Draw slowly, and while drawing project energy into the talisman. You may imagine green Light being projected into the talisman with every line you are drawing. This way, you charge the talisman as you are drawing it. Green Light projection is especially easy and powerful on the day of Venus during the hour of Venus. The Sator Arepo talisman intensifies those energies. Your state of being ONE is a still more excellent support of what you are doing.

5. Further charging

Ideally, after you finished drawing the talisman, you go on and charge it even more. Mentally trace every line of the talisman, project energy into it, look at the various symbols and numbers. Proceed this way until you feel good about the result, or until the end of the hour of Venus.

CONCLUSION

In this course, you have gained a fairly good impression of what is involved in the making of talismans, and you have gained practical experience in doing so. The process of charging the talismans that you learned here is but one of many methods. Planetary talismans are very useful, and I suggest that you make all seven for yourself. The talismans which you do not use, you put best in a glass or plastic jar with a glass or plastic lid. You may use the talismans selectively, depending on what you intend to do. It is an advantage for the beginner to carry one talisman at a time, and, preferably one talisman for several weeks. If you know your astrological chart, you may have an idea which of the planetary talisman is the one you want to have your first experience with over an extended period of time. Otherwise, your personal needs may determine the talisman you want: Jupiter for money, Venus for love, Mars for sports and competition, etc. If you have a very pressing, or a very specific, personal need, it may be useful if you get instructions to make a special talisman from a professional source. This way, you have a talisman with a very specific action rather than a planetary talisman whose action is broader and which is encompassing a variety of fields of life experiences.
