Attuned and concentrated will working through the amulet makers higher-self facilitates channeling spiritual forces into matter.This branch of magick is called enchantment, making the maker of the talisman the enchanter. The process of imbuing matter with spiritual life is called consecration. Talismans are often natural objects, for example; the rabbit's foot is the natural catalyst of the owner's psyche to ward off ill luck. Consideration must be given to the material of which the talisman would be constructed. Since everything in this universe vibrates there is nothing such as "dead matter", only gradations of liveliness and consciousness. Every particle of the consecrated matter would have with its own particular nature, quality and vibration effects other particles in its vicinity. The magickal design may consist of sigils, magick squares, symbols, glyphs, sacred characters and images. In addition, as we noted in Francis Barrett's the Magus inscription of prayers can also be included on the talisman. Symbols and images stimulate the right hemisphere of the human brain, the side associated with creative, subconscious and magickal aspect of man. During the consecration ritual the magician invokes the appropriate forces that would aid him with the manifestation of his will. The forces conjured up by the mage during the consecration ritual include; cosmic rays, elements, thoughtforms and prana, the ultimate life force.
