Where can I get a lucky charm?

A mandatory rule when choosing a talisman is to follow your heart. A piece of jewelry, purchased at the right time under the influence of an inner impulse, can serve more reliably than an amulet made without the right mood. Of course, a handmade talisman would be better, but a relative, friend or relative who participated in the creation is allowed.

Under no circumstances should you use gifts from people who are unfriendly or unpleasant to you as a talisman.

How to do it yourself?

First, you need to choose the amulet that you will create. Decide which amulet suits you best.

A talisman is essentially a "power item" attached to a particular owner. To enhance protection, you can apply magical symbols, the owner's name or runes to the amulet. Sometimes a drop of blood is left on it to establish a connection with the amulet.

Production Rules

An important aspect of creating a good luck charm at home is being completely focused on the task at hand.

The rules for making spells are as follows:

it is imperative to allocate a worry-free day for the creation of an amulet;
don't let anyone distract and upset you while you work;
turn off the phone, turn on pleasant relaxing music;
Prepare the ingredients for the mascot in advance.

Charm made of paper or cardboard

It won't take long to make a paper or cardboard amulet, but a properly made amulet will bring good luck. First, decide which paper color to choose.

The most accepted paper colors are:

White is the color of new beginnings, purity and restraint. The white amulet is suitable for those who start the path towards the goal, wishing for success in the field of work.
Red symbolizes health and affection. It is a desirable color for those who want to strengthen relationships, to express themselves creatively.
Black is often viewed with a negative connotation, however, this perception is fundamentally wrong. Black - complete, absorbing energy. It should be chosen by people who want to end old things, to isolate themselves from problems from the past.

Having decided on the color of the paper, we proceed to create an amulet:

Cover the table with a white tablecloth, preferably new.
Place a sheet of white paper or cardboard in the center of the tablecloth.
Place four candles around the edges of the tablecloth and light them.
Draw a drawing or letter on paper. What should be written on the wish paper, as if they had come true: "I bought a house" - or: "Vova confessed her love. "For a drawing, you should choose the wording. runes, images of the sun or hearts, they will help attract positive energy.
Wait for the candle to burn out while looking at the text or image on the paper. Try to visualize your dreams.

It is necessary to keep such desires closer to oneself. Put them in your purse or in your bra pocket.

Lucky bag

A lucky bag will become a pleasant and easy-to-find amulet.

To create it, you will need the following materials:
red cloth 25 x 15 cm;
multicolored thread;
dried herbs.

The materials are ready, we are starting to create the mascots:

Fold the fabric in half and sew the sides.
We put the herbs in the resulting bag. Choose mint, lavender, rosemary, or clove.
Tie the neckline with seven threads, then leave it on the window for a week.

A lucky bag is made for the rising moon, so it will give strength. Properly crafted, it will bring good luck for years to come.

Money ball

To create the next amulet, you will need

a ball of wool yarn;
small coins.

Wool must be new, not previously used for knitting or crafting.

Let's start creating an amulet:

We take the thread and begin to roll it into a new ball, weaving into coins.
We have a couplet saying: "A thread shrinks - good omens come, the ball rolls - fortune enters the house".

After crafting, you need to leave the talisman on a moonlit night on the windowsill, so it will be charged with the energy of the moon and bring happiness and prosperity to the house.

Magic wax

To create an amulet, you only need wax. Choose the type of candle you like, the color and shape of the product doesn't matter.

Let's get started:

During the waning moon phase, light a candle at midnight.
While the fire is burning, talk about all your wishes and dreams. Try to be as clear as possible.
When the candle has melted, do not rush to throw away the wax but put it in a cloth bag.

Keep wax out of sight of mean people. The talisman will help to achieve the fulfillment of all desires.

Bracelets made of yarn

To create an amulet, a red thread is often chosen to attract good luck.

Create an amulet:

We take three threads and start braiding with a "braid", which alternately overlaps.
A red bead can be woven into the center of the bracelet to strengthen the amulet.
Tie the resulting braid with a knot on the wrist.

Craftsmen can braid leather straps with thread, so that luck will have a reliable basis, intuition and connection with nature will be enhanced. The talisman will protect from failure and slander, will attract good luck.

Arabic mascot

One of the most powerful Arabic amulets for good luck is the hand of Fatima. Palm-shaped amulets are often found in figurines and pendants, but you can depict it yourself.

Algorithm for creating an Arabic talisman for good luck:

Light a candle.
Take a piece of paper and draw Fatima's hand. It is recommended to paint the amulet with blue paint, this will enhance its protective properties.
Place an eye in the center of the drawing to sharpen your intuition.
Wait for the candle to burn out.

It is better to mark the ready-made talisman near the front door so as not to let bad luck into the house or on the desktop for good luck in business.

Amulet for good luck and wealth

To make an amulet, you need a coin. Don't take the first one that comes across. Perhaps an antique store has a selection to your liking.

Create an amulet:

Drill a hole in the center of the coin. When making a hole, remember to think about your cherished wishes.
We take a thread or red lace and thread a coin.
We tie the thread on a double knot, imagining how we tie the lucky ropes.

The amulet will not only affect the financial side of life, but also protect you from troubles, will attract strength to fulfill your dreams.

How to activate an amulet?

After choosing a talisman, you need to clear it of negative energies and activate it. If the material of the talisman is not fragile, it is advisable to carry out purification with running water. Another effective option is fumigation of the amulet. For the ritual, you will need incense or candles. Can be cleaned by dipping the seal in sand.

To activate the charm you need:
