The Effectiveness of Charms and Talismans

Answer:

A charm, talisman, religious icon, sacred word or symbol, has a residual power stemming from what it represents.* This follows the law of analogy, creating a symbolic 'connection' with the higher source represented by the talisman. (This is similar to how a voodoo doll can be used to magically represent and affect a living person from a distance).

Personal beliefs, special treatment and magic rituals and consecrations and blessings, which increase higher symbolic connections through the magical law of analogy, increase the residual powers of talismans or religious icons.* Analogy is the essence of magic.* All Negs (negative spirit beings) are repelled by such things in varying degrees.* The powers these items have to repel Negs vary considerably, depending upon what the items symbolize, and upon the nature of the negative entities and/or influences in question.

Many common Negs will not approach persons wearing sacred items or magical symbols of protection, and nor will they enter houses protected by such items.* However, some Negs, especially the stronger and more intelligent types, will usually find ways around such passive methods of protection fairly quickly.* But every bit of passive defense helps, I have found. This is why in my book Practical Psychic Self-Defense I recommend passive methods should always be used first.

The above-mentioned methods of spiritual protection are little used today, because most modern people do not understand how such things work. But this does not mean that they do not work.* I have had much success using sacred items and symbols to protect people during spiritual attacks, so I recommend these be used as the first line of passive spiritual defense.

Any religious or spiritual icon or medal, if used for spiritual defense, is more effective after it has been blessed.

The most effective symbol I have found as a Neg repellant is the Harmonic Cross (also called the Solar Cross), shown below. This can be drawn on sheets of A4 paper and affixed to walls, and also drawn on the body to protect affected parts, e.g., the feet, hands, etc. Blue ballpoint pen is best used for marking the body.
