Talismans, according to their symbols, can serve us for different purposes. One of the main purposes of talismans is protection against evil, envy or as a shield against any negative energy that may reach the wearer. Behind each talisman there is not only a superstition, but a history connected to the culture from which it comes.
It is recommended that the talismans are made of natural materials such as metals or minerals , to enhance their effect. Every talisman must be a personal and non-transferable object , and it is especially important to personalize it before wearing it. At the end of the article we will explain how! But first, we reveal the meaning of the 2 most powerful protection talismans 😉
The Tetragrammaton is one of the oldest symbols , since its origin comes from the Jewish people. It is a symbol of high power , and is used to ward off negative energies and bad luck, in addition to purifying the soul . But ... What does its symbolism mean?
The 5-pointed pentagram represents the human, with the head at the upper point and the limbs at the sides and at the bottom. The numbers 1 and 2 in the left zone represent the feminine and masculine divinity . The numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the right side symbolize the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit . Finally, we find the initials TE TRA GRAM MA TON , which reflect God.
The medal of Saint Benedict is one of the most represented in Christianity, and it is believed that it possesses great power against evil . The medal has two sides, on one we can see Saint Benedict holding the cross and the Holy Rule , and on the reverse we see the Cross of Saint Benedict , which has various inscriptions. These were a mystery for many years, but in 1647 an explanatory manuscript was found in Germany detailing their symbologies .
On the first side, in a circular shape, the sentence “Eius in óbitu nostro preséntia muniamur” appears, which means “At the moment of our death we are protected by your presence” . On the reverse, we can read various inscriptions such as "PEACE", "May the Holy Cross be my light" or "May the devil not be my guide".
You will need 4 candles , where each of them will represent one of the basic elements . The brown candle will represent the Earth and we will place it in the north; the red candle represents fire and we will place it in the south; the celestial candle represents the air and we will place it in the east; and the blue candle represents water and we will place it in the west.
In the middle we will put an incense and we will pass the talisman through its smoke 7 times. We will allow everything to be consumed with the talisman next to the incense . Once this ritual is finished, we will put the talisman in the light of the full moon throughout the night. You already have your ritualized talisman!
