Back to Talismans My Talisman Next Talisman
For Over 30 years I have had an interest in Symbolism and all that is associated with them. However My First Introduction to the Chakra Talisman was given to me by a wonderful South African Lady. Her Name was Bonita. Please allow me to share this long story/cut short with you! I was preparing to leave Cornwall, following a vision that came to me at the end of studying the Qabalah. I came to London in May 1999 for 3 weeks & ended up staying for 6 weeks, Upon leaving London to go back to Cornwall to meet another dear friend Peter Pracownik & attend a some Psychic Shows we were booked to do. I called in at the Glastonbury's Chalice Well in Somerset to freshen up in the Spring Water & take some for my future journey. Whilst in Glastonbury I visited a shop there, where 'Bonita' was selling her Talismans. I was Instantly drawn to them, but was in no position to be able to buy one. We exchanged contact information, then went our separate ways. My Journey continued to Cornwall, then on to do the Psychic shows, which proved very insightful & Enlightening. Upon returning to Cornwall, I drove to my favorite space out on the cliffs of Tintagel to do some Meditating. When I arrived at the cliff's, Across the way about a Mile or so i could see just a dark silhouetted shape of a person, a voice told me to 'wait for this person' so I did a small Meditation, then waited for this person. Once the person had reached to where i was, i realized it was 'Bonita' whom I had met 3 weeks earlier in glastonbury. Upon Communication with each other we then embarked on a 3 week journey 'Chasing Dragon's Breath-In search of Dragons, finding many Crystals and encountering many Experience's & Adventures. The Journey Ended in London, where Bonita had to depart back to South Africa, Before doing so she presented me with a Chakra Talisman which was made especially for me.
Bonita at the 'Chalice Well, Glastonbury. This amazing image say's it all.
Thank you Bonita.
Since then My Talisman has gone through a few of Transformations. With A Talisman of this caliber; a number of things could happen. In view of Personal Transformations & Healing:- when the Talisman has done all it can, you may find a Gem or Crystal is no longer needed, therefore it would be time for it to move on or be replaced. In view of Ourselves being Balanced, Aware & Focused or if we are not:- again the Talisman will act accordingly, a stone could come loose or fall out. 'As a Sign or a Warning.' As we Journey through and along our chosen Golden Path, New Items may be given or acquire which may want to be added to the Talisman, allowing it to Transform as we do.
"What we do in life will be reflected within the Talisman"
"What we do to the Talisman will reflect within Our-Selves."

Comments & Notes
I often get asked about different crystals being worn at the same time? All I can say is I've been wearing many various Crystals & Minerals for many years and very rarely experience any problems. Mostly because I listen to the Crystals Vibrations, they tend to show me what combinations of Crystals they want to be placed with, a similar construction for the Chakra Wands.
Experiences with Crystals may vary from day to day, week to week, depending upon the energies at the time of using / choosing your Crystal. Energy Influence's can be Internal in relation to your Chakra's and there level of Balance? (Meaning:- Thoughts, Strength, Emotions, Feelings; Your energy status of that moment.) Externally can be those people whom are Immediate in close contact with you. Astrological Influences i.e. The Planets & there influences with the Zodiac which also has an influence on our daily energy status. This same influence will in turn effect the Energy put out by the Talisman. Because of the Combination of the Crystals & Symbolic Items used, the Talisman should work under every influence, circumstance & situation. Each Crystal Has many Healing Properties, they are also associated with the Chakra's, Colors, Numbers, Letters, the Zodiac, the Planets & the Elements.
It is Important to Keep Your Talismans Clean & Charged at all times. Thus at the end of the day or when you take it off, place it on a bed of Amethyst, Quartz, Quartz with Hematite. Or Place it on a Plant. Hang it in the Moon-Light / in the Sun, Hang it on a Tree. A Bed of Sage or any other Cleansing Herb. Wash it in a River, the Sea, in Spring Water. (Tap water if you must - Please Note I Don't Recommend this one) I Do Recommend Occasionally having a Bath, Shower or Swim with it though. What-Ever way you choose to cleans or care for your Talisman...

Cleansing My Talisman
Next to the White Arrow on the above Image, their sits a Log which is shown in the Image below. At the time of the Full Moon the Talismans were placed in the lake its self, held securely by the wooden stake. The Image Below shows the Talisman taken out of the lake for Sun-Rise the following Morning.
The Full Moon Image below is the same Full Moon on the 'Reflected Moon' Image Above. The Full Moon is not just a good time for Cleansing & Re-Charging your Talismans, Crystals & other Healing or Ritual Tools, but also an excellent time for Meditations & Healing Rituals.
Re-Charging the Crystals
After Cleansing the Crystals & Talisman in Natural Water, it's good to allow them to Rest & Continue to Re-Charge whilst they can. The Recent Cleansing Process was done over a duration of 3 days during the Full Moon period:- In a Forest by a Lake in Poland, August 2005.
The Position Where the Talismans were placed for it's Cleansing & Re-Charging Process, also served another purpose? The Talisman at the same time was still working. The Position the Talisman was placed at by the Lake, was also Guarding & Protecting the Space we were staying at. Here in the Image below the Talisman is 'Actively Glowing 'Doing it's Designated Work:- Dispelling & Reflecting away Negative or Dark Forces.
Clicking on this image will take you 'My Photograph's Gallery' called 'Healing Light.' The images are of Real Natural Factual& Reflecting Colors& Rays of Lights From Crystals.
My Working Talisman
One could also Argue here that the light is created by the 'Sun' Creating the Fragmented Ray of Light, to which I would agree with 100% in the logical conscious world. However after many Years of Research into 'Magic' and the Witness of Numerous Personal Experiences & Experiences Shared with other people too. One would believe both are as True as each other.
