Stave of
Knowledge Talisman
There is a plethora of information which is
received by the subconscious, it picks up on details that we do not even
comprehend we are seeing. It creates your inner voice and intuition, it is the
place where visualisations are formed and it is the catalyst of meditation. For
those of us who believe in a higher power, Gods and Goddesses, deities of all
sorts and other unseen realms, the sub conscious is where these beliefs are
realised.
In studying the Ansuz rune, I have come to find its
power a useful communicative tool to access the information held in the
subconscious. The talisman detailed below harnesses that power, along with the
Celtic Ogham power of Ash (or Nion, if you prefer) to retrieve the mysteries
held in the depths of the subconscious.
My personal definition of a talisman is an item of
power which incorporates blended energies to achieve a specific goal. This is
why a talisman does not have to be a bag of mixed herbs or a type of pendant;
it can be any object which you charge with a particular intention – a good luck
charm for instance. This definition led me to the making of this particular
talisman.
You
will need:
·
A
length of Ash (approx 1.5 cm diameter)
·
A
carving tool
·
A
pyrography tool (optional)
What to do:
1. There are two things to be
prepared before you begin to craft your talisman stave. The incense blend for
circle and the anointing oil. Both sets of information are below.
2. Ground,
centre & cast your circle with the above incense – it will help to create
the link between what you know consciously and what your sub conscious hasn’t
told you yet.
3. Use the carving tool to scrape
away the bark of the Ash and several layers of the wood; create a long ‘patch’
in the piece of wood ready to inscribe it with your symbols.
4. Inscribe
the two symbols into the bark with a pyrography tool or draw them on with a
pen:
5. Use the anointing oil
(detailed above) to coat the stave and charge it with its purpose:
When plagued with questions and with doubt
Nuin of Ogham bring knowledge out
Subconscious wisdom needed then
Ansuz tell me… who, where, when
Oils blended for knowledge call
Bring answers for the good of all
Blessed be this sacred stave
To gain knowledge when it’s crave’d
With many thanks to…
I’d like to thank +Joey Morris for her advice
on combining the Ansuz Rune with the Nuin/Nion energy of the Ogham. It has been
invaluable and I could not have completed this talisman without her. I
therefore wrote this mini-blessing for her, performed over a green spell candle
(to honour her Celtic path) and sprinkled lavender and chamomile onto the flame
as I incanted.
Blessings rain down on this witch
For abundance in a life that’s
rich
A second thank you must go out to +Laura Daligan for agreeing to create the anointing oil. I have long wished to
collaborate with her and so I was thrilled when she said yes. As a thank you, I
am performing a mini=blessing for her too. Incanted over a red spell candle
with a sprinkle of powdered dragon’s blood to honour her fiery nature:
Blessed be this witch of flame
May your wild heart never be tame
Using the
Stave of Knowledge
Unusually for me, I have chosen for the stave to be
used without incantation. It is already charged with its purpose to be the bringer
of knowledge and wisdom and so to use it, hold it in your receptive hand and
make it the focal point of a meditation. During the meditation visualise the
stave drawing the information from your subconscious into your conscious mind. Keep
a pen and paper handy to write down what you discover.
