WELKOM IN THE SUPERNATURAL TALISMAN GALLERY

OF NATIVE ART & GIFTS 

Psychological development cannot be attained by intention and will alone; 

it needs the attraction of the symbol.

- C.G. Jung -

A Talisman is an object that stimulates positive powers and attracts the energy you want. 

An Amulet keeps off energy you don’t want and protects against mischief. In other words: 

a talisman brings happiness and an amulet protects against misfortune. The word amulet 

comes from the latin ‘amuletum’ which means ‘manner of protection’. These objects are usually worn 

on a chain or string around the neck. The use of talismans and amulets is very old and universal. 

The rabbit paw is very well known, but the little cross, worn to protect against bad luck, 

is another commonly used amulet. Talismans and amulets are usually made of natural substances, 

like wood, stone, bone, herb bags, shells – even little pieces of written parchment can serve 

as amulets or talismans. Natural materials, especially wood, are very compatible with our life energy.  

Intension is essential

Only the highest intension is good enough 

One of the fields in which Marcel specializes since 1996 is the preparation of amulets and talismans. 

Inspiration comes either from inside, or from outside – the latter being the case when he composes 

a ‘custom-made’ charm for a customer – and even then the process is in essence an inner one.

  The best thing you can do, is to make your talisman yourself. 

The second best thing is to have it made by someone who has dedicated his life to this art 

and who can mediate between this and the other reality. He can ‘catch’ the symbolic keys for you.

A notice on the leather strings on talismans

Usually there is a standard leather string attached to the talisman. These strings are subject to wear and tear, or can be impaired by perspiration. 

Check the cord regularly to avoid loss of the charm. In some cases the cords may not be colorfast to skin or clothing. Usually the color 

can be washed away. Native Art cannot be hold responsible for loss of the object or for damage to clothing. If you would prefer a cotton string, 

please let us know. Would you like to make your own cord? On this web page you’ll find an explanation on how to make an adjustable string 

with sliding knot  >>>
