Charms and How to Make Them
A charm is any object, usually pocket-sized, thatās charged with energy of some kind. An example is a lucky charm thatās worn as a necklace or a lock of hair charged with energy from the person it came from.
Charms can sometimes be called talismans, totems or pendants. Regardless of the name, with slight connotations, these little items can be used the same way.
I use charms when sometimes a crystal isnāt specific enough for my Intent (spell, ritual). Sometimes Iām doing an Intent based on my job but Citrine, also known as the Merchantās Stone, isnāt quite specific enough, Iāll include a charm I charged with a specific energy.
For example letās say I really need a specific day off but my job needs as many employees as it can schedule so often times they deny requests for time off, Iāll do an Intent using a golf pencil I took from the scheduling office.
I also collect the charms I have so that I can reuse them whenever an Intent needs it. Or, if itās appropriate for the day, Iāll carry the charm in my pocket all day.
The easiest way to charge any object as a charm is if it already has a personal meaning to it. Choose something that reminds you of whatever that energy is. I have two cross pendants; one is wooden that reminds me of Catholicism and the second is metal and reminds me of Protestants. (Not because one is primitive to the other but because one came before the other.)
Once you have chosen an item and itās meaning is clear, itās time to charge with energy.
Purify the space youāre in to rid of residue energy (e.g. burning incense)
Use crystals for meditation and visualization, utilize crystal grids (simple or complex)
Write the specific meaning/significance/value of the charm on a piece of paper so you have a clear interpretation of it (you could make a prayer/incantation)
Burn a purple candle and drop wax on the paper connecting your Third Eye/Psyche to the energy attaching itself to the charm (one or two drops per charm, donāt waste a whole candle on one)
Once you have your Charms
Cataloging them in your guild book wouldnāt hurt. Like I mentioned, you can use them in specific Intents or carry them with you. Gift them to friends so they have energies around them. I also collect mine in a box so they arenāt randomly roaming around.
I like to use Charms in my Intents because theyāre reusable, less waste and I donāt have to worry about purchasing new ones as if they run out (unless you give it away or lose it). Although Iāve come to realize the best charms are the ones I find randomly on the ground or in an old drawer. They radiate an energy thatās almost communicative like when grandparents tell you a simple memory but it sticks with you forever.
Enjoy your Charms. Happy witching. Questions, comments and criticism are welcome.
