Charms in Ritual and Magic
Charms, magic charms, lucky charms have been part of the magical tradition for centuries. Gypsies, Witches, and all practitioners of magic have always been purveyors of magic charms. Charms are objects that are used to bring about specific effects, such as Love Charms, Luck Charms, Healing Charms, or Protection Charms. Magic Charms are objects that are either naturally endowed with the metaphysical properties to bring about the given effects such as particular roots, barks, crystals and stones, or are articles that have been enchanted using spells and magic rituals to bring those effects to the wearer. Charms to be effective are most often worn on the person either secreted in a magic or mojo bag, or as pieces of ornamental jewelry.
It is important for the person interested in using magic charms to bring luck, wealth or love, distinguish authentic magic charms from mere costume or pop culture jewelry designed to look like genuine magic charms. True magic charms have been consecrated through magic ritual and verified for their attunement through psychic means. When you purchase an authentic magic charm you should also be given a specific magic ritual to consecrate it to yourself and your home. Any love charms, luck charms, wealth charms, gambling charms etc, sold without such verifiable consecrations may be “charming” pieces of jewelry, but that is all that they are.
What Can Charms do?
Charms have been used for centuries across many cultures to bring luck, good fortune and blessing, and to ward off “evil” or negative energies. Charms, especially those using crystals or other natural magical artifacts such as bezoar stones, are very organic. They posses powerful psychic energies that ebb and flow, and are very much like Chi or a life-force. As such a charm attunes itself and bonds very closely with it’s wearer. As your own psychic energies and emotional states wax and wane, so too will the power of the magic charm. It is important that you keep your charm “charged” by not only belief in its power, but by anointing it with specific oils and performance of specific rituals depending on the nature of the charm. It is important for the reader to understand that magic charms are to be considered enhancements for helping you resolve a given situation in your life, not complete substitutes for using your own skills and more mundane abilities. For example a Knowledge or Learning Charm can give you the insight to help you better to understand the material to pass a given test, but it will not make you pass the test without studying at all.
