Ancient Egypt
In ancient Egypt, high priests and priestesses constructed and utilized a well known talisman through their mystery school teachings. This object was known as The Ankh. Their symbol for “life.” As a totem for community members, it provided stability and protection. As an all-powerful device of high initiates in Egyptian temples, its talismanic properties were elevated. Through powerful ceremonies, The Ankh provided miraculous healings to ailing members of the community. It has even been said that The Ankh once allowed priests and priestesses to breathe life back into bodies of the dead.
Ancient Greece, Rome, Phoenicia and Persia
Ancient Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians and Persians forged talismans to protect against adversarial energies. This ancient device became known as the “evil eye.” It served to cleanse all malevolent and ill-intentioned vibration sent from those who wished to inflict harm on an enemy.
The Middle East
Similarly, in cultures of the Middle East, the Hamsa talisman remains a commonplace feature in many homes. This totem has been used for centuries as a device of Divine protection to ward off “evil spirits.” Routinely displayed as decoration and also worn as jewelry, its bearer is provided good fortune and benevolent blessing.
Taoist China
In Taoist society, a charged talisman is routinely created to promote health, wealth and protection. It is known as the FU. Combining paper and colored ink, a uniquely encoded talismanic device is fashioned. Through the Universal methodology of invoking Spirit’s hidden hand, a physical manifestation of highly charged energy is produced.
The Navajo
In Navajo culture, the refined art of sand painting offers a unique glimpse into the powerful world of the talisman. Each glyph is produced as a ritual of sacred service. A work commissioned for use in healing ceremony. Through this beautiful tradition, the village Medicine Man or Medicine Woman constructs a sand painting of varied colors and shapes. Each line is engineered with subtle precision. The work of art, built through the Medicine Man or Medicine Woman’s direction, becomes a living device of healing current. A circuit board of Divinely implanted energy grounded to Earth. Once the sand painting is completed, an ailing member of the village for whom it was constructed sits inside its activated altar. The living talisman, filled with transcendent energy from the Spirit world, goes to work. And heals the physical and spiritual trauma of the individual who sits within its elevated grace.
Buddhist and Hindu
In similar fashion, Hindu and Buddhist traditions routinely construct sacred mandalas. These charged talismanic designs are also an invocation of spiritual energy through Earthen materials. In similar fashion to the Navajo, the Eastern mandalas are built from fine bits of multi-colored sand. The sacred geometrical patterns drawn tell the story of a spiritual journey. Thus encoding its manifested circuitry with sacred power. In both the Eastern and Navajo traditions, sand paintings are holy rites of passage. When their Divinely empowered construction and ceremonial service have completed, the device itself is destroyed. Leaving behind a blessed field of Divinely transcendent and mystical energy.
Africa
Throughout the continent of Africa, beautiful ornamentation such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and anklets – in many cases – also serve as sacred talismans of protection against “evil” spirits. In Northern Africa, the Berbers traditionally wear silver jewelry as totems to instill good health and protection. Along the Ivory Coast and throughout Central and Southern Africa, tribal members routinely adorn their bodies with gold and bronze jewelry. Which – in many cases – are cultivated to resonate sacred and protective energies. In West Africa, the Dagara Tribe of Burkina Faso employ powerful ceremonies to create highly charged talismans of protection against adversarial energy. And in the same nation, members of the Sunofo Tribe wear charged talismanic jewelry to protect from harm and “evil” spirits (pictured).
Why Did Traditional Society Cultivate Talismans?
Cross culturally, from worlds of our ancient past, the power of talismanic devices were once a staple of day-to-day society. Talismans were revered in antiquity and by indigenous cultures as emblems of Divine protection because the energy they carried is a real, vibrating and accessible – albeit mysterious – Universal technology.
While these Divine totems were once a commonplace and accepted form of ceremonial rite, the modern world has pushed this technology into the realm of mythology. There the talisman has remained for many hundreds of years. A forgotten medicine of Divinely encoded blessing – locked in antiquity. Part of my mission is to restore this knowledge. And re-plant the seeds of this profound healing modality in our modern world.
Through talismanic medicine ceremony and construction of sacred objects, alchemical energy infused from the Spirit world into Earthly objects lives on as a healing practice. An ancient Universal technology continuing in the world of today.
