Hello everyone, I wanted to know if anyone know's whether or not if I can baptize a Talisman for a specific purpose to work for a specific situation and if so how would I go about doing so? Say for example an win in court talisman, Would I have to use or work it or certain days, times etc..? This I would be doing on behalf or for someone else.

Thank You, Mysiclady

Yes, you can do that for yourself or for someone else -- or you can hire a root doctor to do it for you.
The most common ways to prepare a talisman in the hoodoo tradition include anointing with oils such as Van Van oil, or dressing with Hoyt's Cologne.

I have ordered a very expensive kabbalah talisman for evil protection, it can protect against black magic, purify current curses/bad spiritual energy/etc. Would anyone reccomend getting a fiery wall mojo bag even though it does all this already? I am going to do the thirteen herb bath regardless but I am curious about whether or not I really need the fiery wall mojo bag.

[NotDorianGray]

It's up to you whether or not you think you really need it. Personally, if I already had a talisman, I'd either dress it with the fiery wall oil or I'd burn protective candles.

I have a blessed medal of St. Michael that I pray over and anoint with Fiery Oil every Sunday to keep it working strongly. You could do something similar with your talisman. Is your Kabbalah talisman already empowered by a practitioner of that path, or was it expensive due to the material it is made out of? If it's just a symbol out of nice material, you will definitely want to work with it some way to activate it - if it has been created for you and empowered already, then it should be good as it. But you could still anoint it with Fiery for a boost.

the rabbi has to have total purification of mind and body when he starts making it. There is a pool called a mikveh that he immerses in twice, one before making it and once after. Plus other forms of purification that way there is absoloutely no negative energy on the talisman just the blessing from him and the ancient kabbalah drawings that draw certain energies that you need. Its for constant black magic purificatio and protection plus for success. Cost me a lot, trust me, I could have gotten A LOT of protective herbs and bags and whatever else but it is very very effective as I heard of others with it. I did however purchase a 13 herb purification and dimes for a little extra protection and purification. I was going back and forth in my head with what I should do, but in the end from my research and intuition I went with the talisman.

In Dion Fortunes book psychic self defense she talks about "binding the baser aspect before manetizing the higher aspect" when charging a talisman, now I know she is talking about the aposing forces in the Kabalistic tradition but I wondered what the view is from Hoodoo practice. I see that LM does sell the Solomon Seals, so would one need to follow Fortunes advice or is there a seperate teaching within Hoodoo. If so could someone direct me to a good resourse or book on this. Are there are guides on charging or binding the oposing aspects.

Many thanks all.

Ill try to give you a little information it is not much but I will try to help. When it comes to hoodoo and other spiritual/religious practices they do assimilate and work together as one just like your thinking. But what I have learned from speaking to experienced people who practice hoodoo on this forum is that you should treat the talisman in the kabbalah tradition and then from the hoodoo aspect annoint it with whatever oil you desire. For protection you can use fiery wall or fear not, etc. Hope that helps!

Our fellow hoodoo doers have answered the hoodoo methods.

Tis' a general method. Salt is a purifier, cover said amulet or charm under salt (from packet or whatever) ordinary table salt will do for a night.

Then the next day wash the salt out of it. Keep it under running water (from the tap) for the negative stuff to be washed away, and hey presto. It's all pure and ready to be "programmed" with whatever you want it to do.

You'll be surprised at the other kinds of things that can be hoodoo-ed. For example gifts to be given to people, or the enemy.

Since we're in the topic of Talismans; I was wondering if there are ways or tips on how to clean in? I know talismans have certain kind and level of energy.

[cleopatra]

I clean my altar tools and jewelry with Florida Water, then dress them with Holy Oil or an appropriate condition oil.

[shyguy]

From my limited experience I would agree with florida water. If your talking about a physical cleaning and not just a spiritual cleaning, maybe the talisman, charm, whatever might have gotten dirty then I would use a spiritual soap. Octagon soap is all purpose and it has spiritual the ablitly to spiritally cleanse. Maybe even some chinese wash, a very small dab in a cup of water and then use cloth to wash your talisman. Mind you everything I mentioned also has spiritual cleansing benefits but will clean it physically. I really hope that helps.

I am working on empowering my talisman. My husband and my son are always wanting to know what I am doing. This morning when I was charging my talisman my husband sneaked behind me to see what I was doing. Since he saw me charging my talisman does this mean I have to re-do my empowering ritual from the beginning? With mojo bags, I kow that it has to be hidden from everyone does this also apply to talismans? Thank you for any replies, Jacqueline

[shyguy]

Him seeing you charge your talisman does not "neutralize" it or anything, its fine. Really the only way that someone watching you is a bad thing is if it distracts your focus or attention but no, its not like hes touching your mojo bag or anything. I do a lot of reading on this site to learn as much as I can and I never once read or heard of anything like that.

[NotDorianGray]

Depends upon your talisman and what you use it for. There are some I have that I keep secret and only bring out for major workings. On the other hand, I wear a coffin nail as a ring which is a talisman, and any idiot who looks at my hand can see it. I'd happily charge my public talismans in front of someone who wouldn't interfere, but my private ones... No. No way. If anyone saw, I'd cleanse them and start from the beginning. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

Has anyone used a consecrated "Secret Seal of Soloman" talisman?

[catherineyronwode]

There are many, many traditional ways to prepare and fix an amulet or taisman and set it to working for you. Some important notes:

1) In hoodoo folk magic, we do not call fixing ad preparing an amulet "charging" it. We call it (this should be obvious) "fixing and preparing it and setting it to work" [for name or intended result, e.g. "for Bob" or "to protect Bob."]

2) I have used the seals of Solomon -- fiore asked, and all i am saying is "Yep."

3) Washing amulets in Florida water is nowhere near as traditional in conjure as washing them in Hoyt's Cologne. Please try to wrap you head around the idea that hoodoo is not Latin American or Afro-Caribbean folk magic. Sure, the two colognes are similar, but we have our own traditions, and we don't need to borow from another tradition.

4) You can also dress and prepare an amulet or talisman with an anointing oil appropriate to the condition desired.
