How to Make Friendship Talisman

Infuse a stone with your energy to create a talisman.

For magic practitioners, a friendship talisman is a powerful way to protect friends and cement the bond between them. Magic practitioners believe everything has its own special energy, including crystals. You may create a friendship talisman if you are going to be separated for a long time, or if your friend is traveling. A pretty crystal talisman can be a powerful representation of your bond to that person. The talisman may also be a gift to repair past hurts between you.

Things You'll Need

• Small bowl
• Warm water
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• Candle and holder
• Matches
• Crystal (bloodstone, citrine, carnelian, rutilated quartz)
• Small pouch

Instructions

1. Find a quiet place where you can work without distractions or interruptions. If you live with others, wait until everyone else is away or asleep.

2. Fill a small bowl with warm water and add about a teaspoon of sea salt. Swirl the water in the bowl until most of the salt dissolves.

3. Dip your fingers into the bowl and visualize your friend. Picture her safe, happy, laughing and having fun. Picture the two of you together, sharing and safe. Visualize your energy as a white light flowing into the water.

4. Rub your wet fingers over your candle and over the crystal of your choice, infusing them with the same energies. White candles are all-purpose and may be used for any spell. For your crystal, bloodstone works best, but carnelian and rutilated quartz work well, too.

5. Take a deep breath and light the candle, holding the crystal in one hand. As the candle flames, hold the visions of your happy friend in your mind. Picture those energies radiating out from the flame and into the crystal.

6. Hold the crystal gently in your hands, visualizing the energies from the water, salt, and fire infusing into the crystal. These represent water, earth and fire, three of the four main elements.

7. Breathe gently on the stone to infuse it with your personal energy and the energy of air. This also dries the stone a bit. Slip the stone into a pouch, snuff the candle and pour the water on the ground outside.

Tips & Warnings

• You may create a spoken spell or charm to chant if it helps you focus.
