as   permanent   and   enduring   as   the   substance   of   which   it   is   composed; 

DURING   THE   PRESENT   CYCLE。   And   yet   in   some   sense;   it   may   be 

quite   correct   to   say   that;   a   Talisman ACTS   LIKE A  CHARM;   and   vice 

versa; that charms ACT LIKE A TALISMAN; providing that; the real vital 

difference between them; is maintained in the statement。 

     Now that we have our subject clearly defined; let us carefully examine 

HOW AND IN WHAT SENSE a given natural object becomes Talismanic; 

for   it   must   appear   self…evident   to   all   that;   one   and   the   same   substance 

cannot constitute a Talisman for everyone; and for everything。 They must 

naturally differ; as widely in their nature and quality; as mankind differ in

physical;   mental;   moral;   ethical;   and   temperamental;   development。  And; 

yet;    though;    man     may    so   differ   from     his  fellow     man;    the   ignorant 

Esquimau;   killing   seals   in   his   kayak;   may   belong   to   the   same   spiritual 

quality   of   life   as   the   Harvard   professor;   who   obtains   his   subsistence   by 

daily discourse upon the sublime harmony of the infinitely small with the 

infinitely     great;    throughout      the   manifested       universe     of   matter;    and 

wherever   we   find   this   KINSHIP   of   the   spirit;   we   shall   find   the   same 

identical Talisman   acting   alike   upon   each;   whenever   they  shall   come   en 

rapport with it。 Mental; moral; and physical development; never alter the 

real   nature   of   the   internal   man。   Culture   only   brings   to   the   surface;   into 

active use; the latent possibilities lying concealed within the human soul。 

It only allows him to exercise his functions upon different planes; and with 

different effect。 

     Every     natural    department      of   Nature    corresponds       to  some    peculiar 

specific quality and degree of life。 These have been divided; for the sake 

of    convenience;        into   four    primary     groups;      and    each    group     again 

subdivided into three; corresponding to the four cardinal; four succedent; 

and   four   cadent   houses;   of   the   astrological   chart;   therefore;   the   twelve 

signs    of   the  Zodiac;     these   constituting     the   Cycle    of  Necessity      within 

physical conditions;  wherein;  the   ever…measuring or   decreeing tidal   flow 

of   life   from   solar   radiation   throughout   the   year;   represents   the   twelve 

groups      of   humanity;      of   lower    animated      Nature;     of   vegetation;     and 

crystallized gems。 Every human being is ushered into the world under the 

direct influx of one or more of these celestial divisions; and by virtue of 

the sign occupying the horizon at the moment of birth; absorbs such influx; 

and becomes endowed with a specific polarity; by virtue of which; lie ever 

afterward; during such expression within physical conditions; inspires with 

every breath; that specific life quality from the atmosphere; corresponding 

to the same degree of the universal spirit。 Consequently; that gem; or those 

gems; representing and corresponding to HIS HOUSE OF LIFE; become 

to   him;   a   Talisman;   because   of   their   relationshiptheir   spiritual   affinity。 

These   are   all   given   in   the   second   part   of   Vol。   I。   THE   METALS   never 

become Talismanic; because of their comparatively negative degree of life; 

and   for   this   reason   also;   they   make   the   most   powerful   charms。   Certain 



                                               91

combinations   of   metals;   and   in   proper   proportions;   increase   the   potency 

and   magnetic   influence of   a   charm;   and here;  too;  the   laws   of   antipathy 

and affinity come into practical use。 

     A  true   expert   will   know   his   metals;   or   metal;   and   his   client;   before 

commencing his magical work。 

     Those persons who derive most virtue from a Talisman are those who 

belong to the most sensitive; or interior state; within such degree of life; 

and   who     are   dominated     by   one   sign  only。   Thus;   if  we   find  one   sign 

occupying the whole of the House of Life; or practically so; as when the 

first face of a sign ascends; we may be sure; other things not interfering; 

that such a native will receive   great benefit from wearing its Talismanic 

gem。 If a person of good intellectual powers and sensitive spirituality; be 

born when the lord of the ascendant occupies the RISING SIGN; as; for 

instance;     Mars    in  Aries;   or   Sun   in   Leo;   we   may     be  sure   that;   the 

Talismanic gem; in their case; will be exceedingly powerful; because; all 

the Astro…physical conditions are then most favorable for the expression of 

natural forces; and; if worn upon; or near that part of the body which the 

sign rules; the power and influence is more powerful and beneficial。 

     In wearing them; take them to you as a part of yourself; a part of your 

higher self; a thing to be heeded; listened to and obeyed。 They will usually 

make   their   presence   most   pronounced   when   something   arises   to   disturb 

the   harmonious   vibrations   that   naturally   and   quietly   go   on   between   the 

person   and   the   interstellar   spaces   above。   They   are   like   the   sensor   and 

motor     nervesthey      never   make     their  presence     known;     except;    when 

danger encroaches。 

     Having   explained   in   what   sense   gems   become   talismanic;   we   have 

now to disclose the modus operandiTHE HOW。 

     The gems contain the life quality of their own astral nature。 Man; as a 

higher expression; only; of the same universal biune life; contains the same。 

Like two electric currents; MAN; THE POSITIVE POLE (comparatively); 

attracts unto himself THE MINERAL  LIFE OF THE  GEM;  which thus; 

becomes the negative pole。 A complete circuit is formed and maintained; 

as long as they remain in contact。 Gems belonging to a different quality of 

life; not being en rapport with his astral state; have no good effect; because; 



                                             92

no current flows between them。 Thus; the Talisman acts in unison with the 

psychic; or soul…principle; of man; aiding the organism to sustain health; 

stimulating the mental perceptions; and spiritual intuition; and affording in 

a   remarkable   manner;   many   premonitions   of   coming   danger;   when   the 

individual is sufficiently sensitive to perceive them。 And now; per contra; 

as there are gems that act in sympathy with man; there must be; and in fact 

are;   gems   that   act   upon   contrary   principles;   i。e。;   antagonistic;   and   these 

belong to purely antagonistic elements; as Air to Earth and Fire to Water; 

unless the native be born under BOTH forces; as Mars in Cancer rising; or 

the latter part of one sign and nearly the whole of another of an opposite 

nature; occupying the ascendant。 Such natives are pure neutrals; and such 

might   wear     the   gems    that  belong    to  the  most    powerful     planet   of  the 

horoscope;      or   that  triplicity  holding    the   most    planets;   then;   they   are 

usually combined; the planet and the triplicity。 

     There are; of course; innumerable substances; more or less; capable of 

talismanic   virtue   to   particular   individuals。   But   those   gems;   and   similar 

ones; that are given in 〃The Light of Egypt;〃 Vol。 I; are the most powerful。 

To these may be added the opal; under Scorpio; the garnet; under Aries; 

and     the   turquoise;    under    Cancer;     when    Saturn     is  therein;   and    the 

aquamarine;        under    Pisces;    and   among      the   temporary      talismans     of 

vegetation we may add that; the young shoots; bearing the flower and seed 

vessels;   are   the   portions   of   chief   virtue;   and   the   young   shoots   of   trees。 

These   are   often   used   in   locating   mines;   wells;   oils;   etc。;   that   lie   hidden 

beneath the surface of the earth; and in the hands of a negative; sensitive 

person;   seldom   fail   to   reward   the   searcher   with   success。   These   should 

always     be   gathered    when     their  ruling   correspondences        are  rising;   or; 

BETTER STILL; CULMINATING UPON THE MERIDIAN。 These will 

be explained in the chapter on The Magic Wand。 

     We have now reached the limits of our present study; and have only to 

state that all gems; like the human organism; are in one of three
