Amulet and Talisman
Protective, and Empowerment Magicke

Amulets -- are items worn to protect their wearer by their religious associations, a religious equivalent to armour/protective device worn around the body, or placed next to other objects, to protect them from various negative forces -- were common in all societies, and all periods of antiquity, and their use was accepted as normal by secular, religious, and "scientific" authorities (i.e., the physicians).
Almost anything could serve as an Amulet -- a red string wound around the wrist, a stone carried in a small pouch around the neck, or a piece of iron tied to one's bed. Amulets in ancient Egypt, was often any item of jewellery likely to have some amuletic function, in addition to it's aesthetic, economic and social values.

Different kinds of Amulets:

Homopoeic; 'similars', or sympathetic magicke:
.....the principle that an object enables a wearer to have power over the property of the object depicted, for example an eye amulet gives the power of sight, a hare gives the power of speed.

Dynatic; Segulot or 'amulets of powers':
....giving the powers of qualities, conditions or authority.
Traditions throughout, showed that to wear different objects made of metal, glass, bone, etc. keept away Negative Spirits, and warded off the effects of the "Dark" Eye. Amongst these objects can be found mentioned a wolf's bone; blue beads; silver figures; a battle-axe; pair of scissors; scimitar; hand; tooth; etc., or to wear a sprig of Rue, a copy of a spell etc.

Ktematic or 'amulets of property':
.....objects deposited in the tomb; house; garden; or sacred space as offerings of food and drink, and furniture.

Phylactic; Qame’ot or 'protection':
....amulets evoking general superhuman powers.

Theophoric, amulets of Divine:
.....amulets evoking the power of a specific Deity.

In the mid-tenth century, an Arab chronicler, al-Masoodi, wrote about the Maldives in his book Murooj-udh-Dhahab (The Golden Meadow), and said of the cowrie:
"The queen knows no other money than the cowrie. When her treasure diminishes, she orders the islanders to cut fronds of the coconut palm and throw them onto the water. The cowries climb on, are gathered and placed on the sandy shore where the sun consumes them and leaves only the empty shells. And these are delivered to the treasury."

Murex Shell - $5.99 ...This is approx 4 inch long - a medium size.
Considered as a Amulet of Protection in both Egyptian, and Sympathetic Magicke...(the principle that an object enables a wearer to have power over the property of the object depicted, for example an eye amulet gives the power of sight, a hare gives the power of speed). The Murex is also a source of the magicke roots used by Medea, and Venus - as it is called "Venus Shell"..and is supported by the Mermaids, identified by it's spiral top, and egg-shaped body with an opening on one side.
As early as the fifteenth century B.C., a species of Murex became historically important when the people of Tyre and Sidon found a way to extract a purple dye (which for hundreds of years impressed the minds of people with the richness of it's hues) from the mollusk that was to colour the robes of the Roman and Byzantine Emperors.
Is a particular shell of 'Panic Magicke' for the Capricorn born - "Capricorn showered the enemy with Murex shells"......whereas another text concerning Natural Magicke from 1658 English Editon, as well as Almadel, shows that "...If you burn three Shellfish, especially of that kind which is called Murex, and when you have pound them together, cast the ashes thereof upon the Ivy berries...to subdue the Angel of the Fourth Altitude", as well as to call upon Korymbos; the God of the sacred Ivy, with which the Intitiates were crowned..
Combine the Murex with Willow, wound with Copper, and you have a powerful Amulet that unfies Zeus with Water, and the Goddess of Flourishing Willow..

Red Print Joss Paper or Zhi Ma - $3.99 Kit

Our Kits will contain the same Ritual items - which is usually 2 candles, a small food item, either a packet of tea leaves or rice, joss paper, and incense sticks which is either 2 big joss sticks, 3 small joss sticks or a combination of both.
The number of joss sticks to be offered to a Deity (a kind of incense that is burned and used to pray to a Chinese Deity) also depends on the occasion and the Deity that is being worshipped though the common number of joss sticks used is 3. The Joss paper (regular size is about 5.5" by 6"), is folded in half before being burned in an earthenware pot - this thin paper has a foil square in the center, a golden streak painted on, and is topped off by a red block print..
Depending on the type and status of the Deity being worshipped, paper with metal foil or with ink seals of various sizes may be burned. Throughout the ages, the power of magicke and ritual has been an important part of traditional Feng Shui.
Joss Paper rituals provide a means of bringing in NEW energy to a location. These ornate papers are typically burned for specific problems such as for health issues, financial problems, or to clear out ghosts or malevolent spirits.

Round Yellow Joss Paper - $3.99 Kit
Kit contains Rice; Yellow Joss Paper; Incense; 'Singing Water'...and Instructions...The colour Yellow (from Old English 'Geolu')in Magicke, is known to drive One forward towards new, modern frontiers,is inner wisdom, and that it is therefore future oriented.

They can also be burned before traveling to send out prayers of peace and safety.

Dragon Coin, and Dragon Bones - $3.99 Kit
....A dramatic Dragon wrapped around a Chinese coin replica. Heavy weight brass. size 1-5/8" overall. There is a porcelain vessel known as the "Coin Spitter" or the "Venom Spitting" Dragon vase; which is decorated with low relief trees in the "barring" manner - with a White Dragon wrapped around the body of the vase.
This relief on coin acts in the same way....and comes with ancient 'Dragon Bones' in a small pouch.
In both Norse and German mythology, the dwarf Fafnir guarded gold awarded to him by the gods, but his greed eventually transformed him into a dragon. Dragons therefore often symbolize greed in North European folklore....

Double Dragon, and Dragon Bones - $3.99 Kit
....A striking, hefty metal medallion to bring you luck! This Double Dragon Good Luck Charm is unusual, is approx 1-1/2".
Recognised as a Taoist symbol - it reveres the Dragon as a Spirit of "the Way", bringing eternal changes. It was shown in Ancient times as coiling among clouds, revealing only parts of itself. Often the Dragon was the guardian of the Flaming Pearl (spiritual perfection), and in Alchemy, the wingless dragon represented Earth or "fixed" elements; whereas the winged Dragon represented volatile ones.
Persian dragon-god Ahriman (Arimanius), the dark twin brother of the supreme god of light. Ahriman had fought his brother god and had been sent down to the Otherworld to rule over the demons. Thus Dragons became traditional guardians of buried treasure; and they are linked with winged gods, who came to Earth to create the human race. Such is a very important symbol in the creational blueprint of our reality, and are the "Psychic connection between humans"...

Babylonian Demon Bowls

Within the wide category of protective magicke, one local tradition stands out as unique, namely the so-called Babylonian demon bowls. These inscribed earthenware vessels were found in several sites in Iraq and Iran, dating from the 6th to the 8th centuries A.D. and are unknown outside that region.
We have created bowls of a similiar nature, hand etched..... inscribed in one of several written symbols -- though some bowls are may be inscribed with Talismanic terms.
The form and direction of the writing varies -- these are traps for any malevolent Spirit; meant to lure, trap, and disable, preventing them from hurting humans, or causing damage to property.
Often, these are placed in room corners, since the meeting of walls and floor created cracks through which the negative Spirit could sneak in.
Such bowls can also be buried in cemeteries -- where ghosts and malevolent Spirits are abundant -- and perhaps for extra efficacy and accuracy, also next to a 'enemy's' house/property, to subdue their negative energies.
Babylonian style Bowls $7.77


Aggressive Magic

.....earliest times certain bones were used as Amulets, and probably the most ancient of fetish symbology.
Witch's cursing bone: $3.33 Animal bone in Wood - Used as part of a cursing Ritual.

Cursing Stones....$3.33 These round stones generally are called 'cursing stones', and are for magickal purposes. Instructions for use will be attached with the stone....
Found often in places in the UK.... At Killone the Well and Altar lie under old ash-trees at the end of a lake. On the Altar lie, or rather lay, seven of the cake-like concretions found in the shale of the district; each time moved by prayer on the Altar steps.
At the lonely little oratory and cave of St. Colman MacDuach, under the high cliff of Kinallia in Glencolumbcille, several of these stones, and a flat slab with two parallel shallow flutings, (each with one end rounded), lie on the Altar.
At Ross, near Loop Head, numerous rounded stones from the neighbouring shingle beach lie on the Altar in the Saints’ church, one of them hollowed like a shallow saucer.
