For some people, belief in magic, the supernatural and everything mysterious in our world is just nonsense.
They say that to be interested in these subjects, you must necessarily be ignorant about how the world works and about recent scientific discoveries. Nothing could be more wrong.
In reality, it's even a shame for them: their life must undoubtedly lack salt, spice... In short, it must lack magic.
The most serious scientists have also been able to highlight the powers of certain things on our minds and even on our bodies.
Such a lucky charm can soothe the soul in a literally inexplicable way, while such a ceremony will lead to miraculous healings.
In the middle of all this, there is one type of object that will interest us more than the others today: the magical talisman.
Far from having only sentimental value, we are talking here about a very powerful type of jewelry whose effects have been recognized for a long time.
Ranging from simple protection to the development of courage or fertility, in this article we will see some examples of talismans that could suit you.
In short, we are not here to convince anyone of the effectiveness of certain magical talismans. (Everyone is free to try to verify for themselves.)
No, we are simply here to introduce you to some models that are close to our hearts.

Examples of some magical talismans
Actually, what is a talisman?
Ring, parchment or crystals: there are many ways to act on the energies of our world. Among the different possible choices, talismans are physical objects with interesting spiritual properties. Due to the (often impressive) powers they possess, these jewels are always worn with a purpose, a particular intention.
The etymology of the word talisman is actually quite debated.
Some language experts say it comes from the Arabic term "tilasim" (which is used to designate jewelry worn on the neck), while others connect it to the Greek verb "teleo" (which means "accomplished" or "to put implemented").
Whatever its origin, the fact is that there is something magical about the concept of talisman.
In fact, it draws its roots from the conception of the world that the ancients had, based on a now forgotten metaphysics and a very particular esoteric tradition.
Yes, in the past, most people wore magical talismans during their lives for the occult powers they possessed...
Let us also note the difference between amulets and talismans.
Generally, a pendant is considered to be an amulet if it has powers in itself, while a talisman will often need to be "charged" or "activated" during specific rituals in order to to unleash its full capabilities.
Why talk about magic?
White magic, black magic and bewitchment: in the past, many more people believed in occult powers than today.
Obviously, magical talismans were much more appreciated and worn.
Certain things that we still do today come from this tradition. In your opinion, where did the custom of giving a medallion to newborns come from?
Yes, this is a sort of magical talisman!
Historians teach us that people of the time saw this as a guarantee that the little one would be in good health, would not fall ill and would live a long and peaceful life.
Superstitions of this type were numerous at the time. If you are curious, here is a study that focuses on medieval magical practices.
Regardless, today the term "magic talisman" is more widely used to refer to any object or accessory that possesses inexplicable powers.
This therefore includes all known lucky charms, an incredible number of jewels and even certain types of rituals.
We therefore see that a magical talisman can take different forms. If you had in mind the image of a simple amulet or a charm, know that you were not entirely correct.
In fact, even an everyday object can become a talisman. We all have that t-shirt, that ring or that pair of shoes that, once worn, gives us confidence and helps us face the challenges of everyday life.
Due to their extraordinary variety, the powers of magical talismans can vary enormously from one to another.
We can cite among the most frequent uses:
- Luck (example: four-leaf clover)
- Prosperity (example: Chinese Pi Xiu)
- Fertility (example: amulet of the mother goddess)
- Courage (example: Vegvisir)
- Appeasement (example: the flower of life)
- And a whole bunch of other things. Truly, the powers of magical talismans are numerous.
Examples of some magical talismans
We all have bad days in our lives.
Whether we sprain an ankle, get sick or our relationship is failing, all of this can take a toll on our morale.
Sometimes it's just chance that causes our misfortunes. Sometimes evil spirits or demons attack us.
It is precisely in this type of context that our magical talisman will serve us the most.
In theory, there are types of talismans that will be able to address each of the worries and problems that we encounter on a daily basis.
In short, we all sometimes need a helping hand, a little outside help that will make a difference.
Whatever the area in question, we can therefore find a magical talisman that will meet our needs.
To help you in your search for that rare pearl, we will now discover together some of the most powerful talismans that we can offer you.
The power of the Vikings through the symbol of the Valknut
Divination, invocation of deities or strange rituals: the Viking people were recognized for their practice of esoteric arts.
Composed of three interlocking triangles, the Valknut is one of the most enigmatic elements in all of Norse mythology.
It was found on an impressive number of tombs and runestones, but also on warrior weapons and armor.
Etymologically, the term "Valknut" comes from the two Viking roots "Valr" and "Knut", which mean "slain warriors" and "knot" respectively.
Thus, this lucky symbol would be the “Knot of slain warriors”. Interesting…
In fact, this is precisely what this magical Viking talisman of the Valknut corresponds to: by using the symbol, it harnesses the strength of the thousands of Viking warriors who died with weapons in their hands.
We are therefore talking here about a powerful object linked to the qualities of strength, combativeness, honor and courage which may have characterized the Nordic people.
Amulets of Thai monks
In Thailand, lucky amulets are a real institution.
They are worn by millions of people throughout society, from the simple farmer to the ambitious businessman.
Obviously, within such phenomena there are always certain master craftsmen who stand out from the others.
This is notably the case of a monk known as Phra Somdej.
If these magical talismans are so powerful, it is because this fabulous mystical artist was able to put a simply immense amount of power into their creation.
Even today, each of these amulets are made according to a traditional, secret method that only monks know.
According to the rare stories that have come down to us, the techniques used involve prayers, rituals and very particular ceremonies.
If you want to check its powers for yourself, here is a Phra Somdej amulet made using the traditional method.
Witchcraft and fertility through the figure of the mother goddess
Few people know this, but wizards of the past shared the same spells. Priests had similar rites and most early religions had certain deities in common.
Often, this reflects power, immense power and above all the original character of these beings.
Of all these deities, the most emblematic is undoubtedly the mother goddess. It is indeed found in primitive cults once present on each continent!
With her plump belly and her air open to the world, the mother goddess is, as her name suggests, associated with everything that characterizes mothers. In this regard, we can cite things like life, fertility, love or even fertility.
Very clearly, all of this makes it an ideal subject for the creation of a magical talisman!
This is precisely the reason for this talisman of the mother goddess that we offer on our site.
How to create a magical talisman yourself?
Some people may have more free time than others.
They don't know what to do with their days and are bored.
It is mainly for these people that we have created this little tutorial aimed at creating your own magical talisman.
Often pre-existing symbols are more powerful. They have been proven for centuries and their specific powers are well known.
If you have a specific problem that you want to address, we can only advise you to turn to this type of lucky charms which have proven themselves.
So see this method of making a talisman as a game, a fun little craft to share with the whole family.
Choosing a physical basis
It doesn't matter if it's an expensive item or a worthless trinket, the important thing here is to choose an item that you feel connected to.
However, you will need to be careful to choose something that is personal to you or with which you have a special connection.
After all, it is your magical talisman that you are building, not anyone else's!
Some people like to take a (semi-)precious stone whose properties speak to them. Others will choose to use a piece of jewelry they already own.
In the end, you benefit from great freedom in your choice.
Add a special intention
Once you have decided what will become your new lucky talisman, you can take a few minutes to meditate on it. (Some people do this for hours, but it's not really helpful in most cases.)
First think about what meaning you want to give to your talisman.
Whether you are looking for more luck, strength or protection, you are once again very free here.
In short, when you know what intention you give it, imagine a kind of luminous energy all around your magical talisman.
This energy will be marked with your particular intention and, if all goes well, it should imbue your lucky charm with it.
In reality, the effects that positivity has on our lives are simply enormous. To learn more on the subject, here is a blog article that will talk about the power of intention.
Charge your magic talisman
Many people specialized in magic and esotericism with whom I spoke told me the same thing…
To them, a talisman is a kind of battery, an object charged with a special power that can discharge when used.
It may therefore sometimes be necessary to (re)charge your talisman.
To do this, you just need to repeat the meditation previously given.
Another method is to carry our magic talisman with us when we feel good, when we are happy.
This may seem counterintuitive because it's not really in this kind of situation that we need it.
However, it seems that this allows our lucky talisman to “charge” with positivity which would increase its effects.
Conclusion and tips for using your talisman
Even if your talisman works and its effects on your life are tangible (which will often be the case), you should not rely entirely on it.
Going to see a medium for an astrology prediction can be a good indicator, but should in no way dictate our future. The same is true with the use of a magical talisman.
Often we tend to rely too much on its powers when stressful situations hit us in the face.
However, talismans (and even good luck charms in general) work on the model of “energy batteries”.
So imagine what could happen if, when you need it most, you realize that your talisman no longer works as well as before.
Clearly, this is not something desirable.
Additionally, you need to learn as much as possible to deal with your own problems.
A magical talisman is therefore a good tool, a precious help in certain delicate moments, yes, but it should not become a necessity for our well-being or our happiness.
Anyway, if you want to delve deeper into the subject of lucky amulets and talismans, here is a book that covers the subject in depth.
