Using Tiny Magick Talismans Part I

I am always looking for ways to develop my witchcraft practices discreetly. It’s hard to carve out time and space to participate in lengthy rituals because I have a family. While my husband is very supportive (and I think a bit proud) of my path, it still feels weird to let him know that I am going into the spare room or garden to perform a ritual and if my daughter is around it’s even harder. This was part of the reason I developed my Tiny Magick series of talismans. These small fiber art pieces fit in the palm of my hand, are light and discreet. I can carry one with me and use it as a portable micro altar, creating the tiniest of sacred spaces.

I use mine to meditate on intentions. My personal one has a bird claw that I love to look at and touch. 
Not all of us can create elaborate ceremonies or indeed want to. My witchcraft is grounded in folk traditions inspired by my British roots. I feel the sacred is within and without and as such can be accessed at any time. My talisman helps me transform the moment and open a portal to the liminal anywhere I am. 

Suggested steps for creating a sacred space:

1. Place the talisman in front of you or hold in your palm
2. Breathe slow and deep
3. Allow you eyes to rest on the patterns and textures of the talisman
4. Call on the quarters if you would like or simply allow the talisman to cast the space 
5. Conduct your spell work or simply be in the moment
6. When you are done, lift the talisman to your forehead in gratitude
7. “The circle is open but not unbroken”
