The Power of Amulets and Talismans

Posted by Marina Markov, Senior Sales on 29th Apr 2020

In a crystal we have clear evidence of the existence of a formative life principle, and though we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is nonetheless a living being.”- The Problem of Increasing Human Energy by Nikola Tesla. Serbian-American inventor, electrical & mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist. 1856 - 1943.

Tales of magical crystals go back to the very beginning of recorded history; part of a long tradition of mystical objects used by kings, queens, popes, sultans, and the common people, to improve luck, bring prosperity and to cure disease.

Now, more than ever, it’s a compelling subject to explore as we look to find ways to strengthen and enhance our sense of well-being.

A Talisman is an object that amplifies our abilities and makes us stronger. An Amulet is an object that is meant to protect the wearer from harm. While somewhat separate in concept, Talismans and Amulets are united by their source – the Earth. Long before the earth was home to the flora and fauna of the past million years, it was roaring from within; exploding with fire from the inner mantle. Mountains where rising above and within the oceans, the continents crashing into one another, meteorites crashing into and shaping the landscape of the globe.

Gems were being born. These glorious natural beauties are the original gifts of Mother Earth, bequeathed to connect us to mystery of the Divine as well as, to one another.
