Talisman - what is it?
A talisman is an object or animal that has magical properties. It is believed that talismans bring good luck and happiness to their owner, can help him in love and family life, and can treat illnesses and restore health. A talisman is different from a talisman. If the amulet only protects, that is, performs passive functions, then the talisman performs active functions.
Cat's eye stone meaning
Cat's eye is a mineral that seems to sprout olive-green needles, hawk's eye - darker, blue-green, tiger's eye - rusty-red needles.
All of them have the properties of “amulets”, i.e. protect and guard their owner. At the same time, the cat's eye protects most of all in love, the tiger's eye protects in economic activity, and the falcon's eye protects in the fight against enemies. In addition, the tiger's eye protects against unreasonable pangs of jealousy.
They say that these stones sharpen intuition and give rise to a premonition of trouble. And some claim that rings decorated with “eyes” begin to “feel” on the hands when danger approaches, become heavy, get in the way, and thereby warn the owner of impending trouble.
Talisman stones and their types

How to make a stone as a talisman?
There is a certain ritual for making a talisman from a gem. The entire procedure takes place on the night of the new moon. It is necessary to make a rhombus, the tops of which represent the four elements: salt (earth element), a candle (fire element), a saucer of water left (water element), an incense stick (air element). On the night of the new moon, you need to light a candle and a wand using matches, and place the stone itself in the center of this rhombus. During the ritual, you need to look at the stone and mentally ask it for something. Think about why you need a talisman.
When you feel that the stone has heard you, take it in your hand and carry it one by one over all the vertices of the diamond. First dip it in salt, then dip it in water, hold it in the flame of the fire and then over the smoke from the stick. When the ritual is completed, women need to place the stone in the rays of the moonlight, and men - in the sun.
Then you need to make a frame for the stone. Silver is best suited for these purposes, but wood can also be used. In both cases, the stone must be poured into the prepared base.
Remember that a stone does not immediately become a talisman. He needs time to get used to his owner. Do not accept stones from other people if they make you suspicious. Never use talismans of the dead, especially those who were ill for a long time before death. Gems absorb negativity and illness very well. Therefore, the result in these cases may be unpredictable or harmful.
You can accept stones as a gift if you know the person and his intentions well. Each stone has its own character and certain properties, so the choice of stone must be approached responsibly.
Talisman, amulet and amulet are not the same thing
Talisman stones were used by ancient people to protect themselves from death, attract good luck, health, strengthen certain abilities, get rich, etc. Their choice should be taken seriously, since minerals have great power, they affect a person energetically and physically level. It is important to understand that there is a difference between a talisman, a talisman and an amulet.
A talisman is a magical ally that attracts happiness and good luck. It can be not only a gem, but also any clothing or accessory that is associated with pleasant emotions. They improve your mood and instill self-confidence. You can choose a talisman stone based on your date of birth, goals, horoscope, etc. For example, Aquarians can use sapphire or aquamarine for this purpose. But it is better to take into account several characteristics at once when selecting a “personal assistant”, then its effect will be as beneficial as possible.
The action of the talisman stone is slow and smooth, but its duration is unlimited. The main thing is to periodically cleanse and nourish the gem with your energy.
Amulets do not bring something new into life, they help preserve what already exists. This artifact will protect the owner from potential danger. For example, a very popular amulet against drunkenness, which protects the owner from painful cravings for alcohol. In addition, these magical allies help protect health, family, career, and money from the negative influence of others. This is a kind of filter that passes bad energy through itself, purifying it. Therefore, amulets have an expiration date, depending on the amount of negativity.
Attention! If over time the amulet began to evoke negative emotions in you, and its appearance deteriorated, then most likely it has exhausted its potential. Get rid of it and buy a new one.
The amulet helps to strengthen or acquire certain character qualities, protect, attract good luck in love, career, etc. It will help in any area of life, but you need to correctly determine the task, and also use it.
Talisman stones are chosen taking into account the zodiac constellation, name, gender, etc. To choose a suitable amulet or amulet, you need to feel its compatibility with a competing gem.
How to choose the right mineral
There are several approaches to choosing a talisman stone. As a rule, a stone is chosen based on the owner’s temperament, his zodiac sign, element, name, season, date and day of birth of the owner, or the purpose of the stone. Let's take a closer look at each of the criteria.
Selecting a gem according to the owner’s temperament
Completely different stones are suitable for people with different types of temperament. For powerful and energetic choleric people , stones of white, green, black colors - pearls, turquoise, peridot, black agate - are suitable. They should avoid bright stones, primarily red and orange. They excite their nervous system and awaken aggression. The same applies to sanguine people . Bright stones are contraindicated for them. Ideal colors for them are black, white, gray, the most suitable stones are black agate and pearls.
However, people with this type of temperament should not combine several types of stones in one piece of jewelry - uncertainty and indecision are destructive to their nature.
Phlegmatic people who are used to living a measured life, on the contrary, should carry with them stones of red or orange color - garnet, ruby, amber. They should not use stones with a transparent structure as talismans. They can bring their owner to emotional exhaustion. Melancholic people , the most emotional and vulnerable people, are most influenced by the energy of stones. Therefore, they need to approach the choice of a talisman more seriously than others. Those with this temperament need minerals that can maintain a positive attitude. These include amber, aventurine, diamond, malachite, quartz, citrine, and carnelian. Minerals of black and gray shades are contraindicated for melancholic people, as they can lead them into a state of depression.
Choosing a mineral by element
A person can also choose a stone depending on the element to which it belongs. There are four elements in total - Fire, Air, Water, Earth . Traditionally, transparent stones (yang) are associated with Fire and Air, and opaque stones (yin) are associated with Water and Earth, although this division is conditional and there are exceptions.
Representatives of the element of Fire are most suitable for stones that inspire them with optimism and faith in their own strengths - diamond, amber, ruby, sapphire, pyrite. Minerals of the Air help their owners establish contacts with people. These include translucent stones of light shades - jade, agate, carnelian, chrysoprase. The element of Water is characterized by talismans that help develop intuition. These are stones of green, blue or light gray shades - opal, alexandrite, aquamarine. For the element of Earth, hard and opaque gems are suitable, which symbolize stability and constancy - lapis lazuli, jade, onyx, zircon.
Choose your talisman stone according to your zodiac sign
Certain minerals correspond not only to the elements, but also to individual zodiac signs. This table shows how the zodiac signs and gems are related.

Stones with a play of light - diamond, moonstone - are well suited for spring. Also this time of year corresponds to lapis lazuli, jasper, and overflow. Summer stones are usually green. Among them are green agate, malachite, alexandrite, jade, serpentine, and peridot.
In autumn, stones of yellow and red colors are chosen - topaz, carnelian, rhodonite. There are also stones of other shades.

In winter , the palette consists of red, yellow, purple - warm colors that help survive the cold and lack of sun. These include garnet, amethyst, amber, charoite, and aventurine.
How to choose the right stone by date of birth and day of the week

Those born on Tuesday should pay attention to ruby or emerald. For those born on Wednesday , amethyst is suitable, on Thursday - sapphire, on Friday - emerald or cat's eye. For a person born on Saturday , turquoise or diamond are suitable, on Sunday - topaz.

If you end up with a two-digit number, add its numbers together until you eventually get the desired one number. For example, if your date of birth is 01/01/2000, then your number will be 4: 1+1+2=4.

Talisman stones require special care. You need to talk to them, you need to thank them for their help. Stones absorb negative energy, so they need to be cleaned several times a year. Simply rinse them under running water.
Stones need to rest, so take them off every time you come home. Store stones in a box. It is advisable that it be separate and that no other jewelry is stored in it. Do not use the stone for several days after cleaning: it needs to rest and re-energize. Before use, talk to him, tune in to the same wavelength. You must like the mineral: the talisman will not help a person who is indifferent to it.
If the stone cracks or splits, it means that its service life has expired. He no longer has the energy that was in him originally. In this case, you should buy a new stone.
Remember that the stone will not do all the work for you. He will only help you and guide you, but you must take all the main steps towards the goal yourself.
Stones and rocks as an ancient symbol
Stone, rock, mountain, tree or grove - all these concepts are symbolically interconnected and can represent the cosmos in its entirety. Stones often coexist with trees in sacred places.
They either stand alone to commemorate some sacred place or event, or are associated with a tree in the structure of a sacred altar, where they symbolize the enduring and surrounding, and the tree symbolizes the transitory and increasing.

What do stones and rocks symbolize?
Heavy rocks or rocks hanging over a spring, stream, or the entrance to a treasure cave, blocking access to the waters of life flowing from beneath the rock, symbolize necessary difficulties or conditions that must be overcome, understood, or fulfilled before the waters can be found life, or esoteric treasures of hidden knowledge.
Sometimes a rock miraculously breaks to allow waters to flow or a cave to open.
Stone is an ancient symbol of judgment: stoning is an ancient punishment. To throw a stone at someone is to show contempt. The feeling of one’s own guilt is a “stone on the soul.”
The stone ax is a non-iconic expression of divinity or its supernatural power. Thunder stones represent the power of thunder, lightning and storms, that is, the power of what can split and break.

Basic recommendations on how to choose a talisman
How to choose a talisman? To find the perfect mascot, you need to follow some recommendations. The main one is to do no harm. From time immemorial, a suitable talisman served for the benefit of a person, while a “stranger” one could simply not give any effect or, on the contrary, act negatively. When we talk about the negative effect of a talisman, we do not mean real physical impact or material deprivation. If you choose the wrong talisman, get ready for the fact that your worst character traits will come to the fore and prevail over your virtues. Knowing this information, one cannot underestimate the role of talismans in a person’s life. Having firmly decided to choose the right talisman, you should not pay attention solely to the appearance. Your task is to listen to your inner voice, turn on your intuition, and not just choose the first item you like.
Important point:
Even if you make a talisman yourself, it may not work. In this case, you need to correctly select all the necessary elements. For example, if you use a stone (even a very expensive one) that simply doesn’t suit you, get ready for problems - the talisman can negatively affect your health or career. You need to choose signs and materials for your future amulet responsibly. Should we expect support from such talismans? And what if you like a particular form?
With the form, everything is simple: you can choose any one, but be sure to use materials and signs that are suitable for your zodiac sign. But the question of action is an order of magnitude more serious. Why can't you choose a mascot that isn't yours? With the “wrong” talisman, the situation can develop as follows:
- Lack of any action. In this case, the talisman simply does not manifest itself in any way; it can be used as an accessory.
- Slight negative impact. It will cause a number of inconveniences to its owner and, possibly, will cause a number of troubles, which, however, will not pose a threat to life.
- Strong negative impact. It can cause significant damage to a person, and will affect literally all areas of life.
