Where can I get the mascot of luck?
An obligatory rule when choosing a mascot is to follow your heart. A trinket acquired in time under the influence of an internal impulse can serve more reliably than an amulet created without the appropriate mood.Of course, it is better to make the mascot by hand, but it is permissible for a relative, friend or loved one to be involved in the creation.
Under no circumstances use gifts from people who are unfriendly or unpleasant to you as a mascot.
How to do it yourself?
First you need to choose the amulet that you will create. Decide which mascot suits you best.
A talisman is essentially a "power element" associated with a specific owner. To improve protection, you can apply magic symbols, the owner's name or runes to the amulet. Sometimes a drop of blood is left on it to establish a connection with an amulet.
Production rules
An important aspect of creating a charm for luck at home is the full concentration on the task.
The rules for making talismans are as follows:
- it is imperative to set aside a day free from worries in order to create an amulet;
- don't let anyone distract or upset you while you work;
- turn off your phone, turn on nice relaxing music;
- prepare the components for the mascot in advance.
All materials to create a talisman for good luck need natural.
Mascots that you can make yourself
You can create many talismans with your own hands, some of the most effective are:
- amulet made of paper or cardboard;
- lucky bag;
- money ball;
- magic wax;
- bracelet with thread;
- Arabic mascot;
- imperial amulet for luck and wealth.
The charm of paper or cardboard
It won't take long to create a charm out of paper or cardboard, but a properly crafted charm will bring good luck. First decide which paper color to choose.
The most acceptable paper colors are:
- White is the color of a new beginning, purity and restraint. The white mascot is suitable for those who have started their way to the goal, want to succeed in the field of work.
- Red symbolizes health and emotions. It is worth choosing a color for those who want to strengthen the relationship, to reveal themselves in a creative way.
- Black is often perceived with a negative meaning, but this perception is fundamentally wrong. Black - completion, energy absorption. It must be chosen by people who want to finish the old things, to isolate themselves from the problems of the past.
Once we have decided on the color of the paper, we continue to create a mascot:
- Cover the table with white, preferably a new tablecloth.
- Place a blank sheet of paper or cardboard in the middle of the tablecloth.
- Place four candles around the edges of the tablecloth and light them.
- Draw a drawing or inscription on paper. It is worth writing on the wish list, as if they have already come true: "I bought a house" - or: "Vova confessed her love. "For drawing it is worth choosing a rune, an image of the sun or a heart, which will help attract positive energy.
- Wait for the candles to burn while looking at the text or image on paper. Try to visualize your dreams.
You need to keep such desires closer to you. Put them in your wallet or in your chest pocket.
Success bag
A lucky bag will become a nice and easy to make mascot.
- to create it, you will need the following materials:
- red cloth 25 by 15 centimeters;
- multicolored threads;
- dried herbs.
The materials are ready, we start creating a mascot:
- Fold the fabric in half and sew on both sides.
- We put the herbs in the resulting bag. Choose mint, lavender, rosemary or cloves.
- Tie the neckline with seven threads, then leave it on the window for a week.
A lucky bag has been made for the rising moon, so it will take more power. Properly crafted, it will bring good luck for years to come.
Ball of money
To create the next amulet, you will need it
- ball of woolen thread;
- small coins.
The wool should be new, not used for knitting or crafts before.
Let's start creating a mascot:
- We take the thread and start winding it into a new ball, weaving in coins.
- We say the conspiracy: "Thread by thread - come lucky, the ball will roll - happiness is added to the house. "
After completing the production, you need to leave the mascot on a moonlit night on the windowsill so that it will be charged with the energy of the moon and will bring happiness and prosperity to the house.
Magic wax
To create an amulet, you only need wax. Choose the candle you like, the color and shape of the product are not important.
Let's start doing:
- In the rising moon phase, light a candle at midnight.
- While the flame is burning, talk about all your desires and dreams. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible.
- When the candle melts, do not throw away the wax, but put it in a cloth bag.
Keep the wax away from the eyes of ill-wishers. The mascot will help you achieve the fulfillment of all desires.
Thread bracelet
To create an amulet, red thread is most often chosen to attract good luck.
Creating a mascot:
- We take three strands and start knitting with a "pigtail", successively superimposing on each other.
- A red bead can be woven in the middle of the bracelet to strengthen the amulet.
- Tie the resulting braid with a knot on the wrist.
Craftsmen can weave a leather strap with thread, so that luck will have a reliable basis, intuition and connection with nature will be strengthened. The talisman will protect from failure and slander, will attract good luck.
Arabic mascot
One of the strongest Arab talismans that bring good luck is the hand of Fatima. The palm-shaped amulet is often found in the form of figurines and pendants, but it is possible to depict it yourself.
Algorithm for creating an Arab lucky talisman:
- Light a candle.
- Take a piece of paper and draw Fatima's hand. It is recommended to paint the amulet with blue paints, this will improve its protective properties.
- Place your eye in the center of the drawing to sharpen your intuition.
- Wait for the candle to burn.
It is wiser to mark the finished mascot near the front door to prevent bad luck in the house or on the desktop for good luck in business.
Imperial amulet for luck and wealth
To make an amulet, you need a coin. Don't take the first one. Maybe an antique shop has an option to your liking.
Creating a mascot:
- Drill a hole in the middle of the coin. When making a hole, be sure to think about your cherished desires.
- We take a thread or lace of red color and a coin thread.
- We tie the thread in a double knot, imagining how we tie the luck of the thread.
The amulet will not only affect the financial side of life, but will also protect you from trouble, will attract strength to fulfill your dreams.
How do I activate a mascot?
Once you choose a talisman, you need to clear it of negative energies and activate it. If the material of the amulet is not brittle, then the purification should be done under running water. Another effective option would be to smoke the talisman. You will need incense sticks or candles for the ritual. It can be cleaned by immersing the seal in sand.
To activate the mascot, you need:
- Relax, close your eyes and mentally imagine how all the dirt and negativity leave him.
- The easiest and most effective way to activate a talisman is to take it in your hands, bring it to your face and exhale rhythmically with it.
- During activation, you need to focus on the tasks that the mascot has to perform and attract positive ones.
- To fully charge the talisman, imagine exhaling some of the energy contained in the amulet, which will protect in the future.
- The mascot must speak - to whisper to him about your wishes.
The amulet is activated a few days after the ceremony.
