Magic Squares as Lucky Charms and Talismans

Magic Squares have been associated with good fortune for over 4,000 years. They
have been used to create potent talismans of good luck and protection. What factors
give them this property, and how can we use them for our own ends?


History of Magic Squares


Wu of Hsia, founder of the Chinese dynasty which bears his name; discovered a
tortoise who's shell had the markings of a perfect (3 x 3) Magic Square. This square,
known as Lo Shu, or 'River Picture' became the basis of the I Ching, the Ki, and
other forms of Chinese divination.


In the West, thought the Middle Ages, magic Squares were engraved on silver and
sold as talismans. They were regarded as a protection from disease. In India, Magic
Squares date back to the Eleventh century.


In the West, Wu's Magic Square became the 'Square of Saturn'. Cronelius Agrippa
studied and named a series of Magic Squares for the various Planets, and ascribed
various proprieties to the squares based on their connection with these planets
in Astrology.


Physic Properties of Magic Squares


Magic Squares have (2) properties which make them perfect as magical formulas
for creating talismans: their symmetry, and repetition.


Magic Squares have the property of symmetric resolution. By their nature, they
form a completed pattern. The fact that every row, column, and diagonal of the figure
adds up to the same total, gives them balance. The universe as a whole is a system
in which we draw forth balance and completion. The very cycle of Life is seen as
a never-ending circle, a continuing pattern which is repeated over and over; A Magic
Square models this pattern.


Magic Squares, also give us endless repetition. We can add each row and column
in turn, and arrive at the same result over and over. This is the very nature of
spells; a charm or prayer which is repeated over and over to build momentum, and
draw power for a working.


Constructing a Magic Square


One of the wonderful things about Magic Squares, is that anyone can construct
them. You don't have to be a great artist to draw them, they're made completely
out of numbers. With just a little research you can create your own personal talisman
in no time at all.

How Charming - Why Charms And Charm Bracelets?

Traditionally, there are several times in a woman’s life when she can receive
a charm bracelet; once as a young girl and once for her marriage.


In the past, when a woman married, she was given a charm bracelet to celebrate
her future. A charm bracelet with wedding bells or a marriage certificate was later
filled with charms representing the honeymoon, anniversaries and the birth of her
children. This bracelet was frequently referred to as a “Lifetime” bracelet, growing
over the years to one day be passed onto her daughter, so she could continue the
tradition of charm collecting from generation to generation.


Charm bracelets were passed on from mother to daughter, either as a new gift
or as a family heirloom. The daughter then added her own charms to the bracelet,
including ones that represented her favorite hobbies, interests and beliefs. As
the daughter matured, so did her charm bracelet, increasing not only the number
of charms, but also in sentimental value.


To a woman who lived during the 1930s, 40s and 50s, charms, usually worn in multiples
on a link bracelet, were of great personal significance. A charm bracelet became
a chronicle of a woman's life; a time capsule that represented her loves, her interests,
her travels, and her experiences. These sentimental, yet precious objects told her
story, and preserved it for generations to come.


A woman most probably received her first charm as a young girl; perhaps a ballerina
or a flower. In her teenage years, she may have received the additions of a love
token from a sweetheart, a souvenir from a school trip, a jeweled mortarboard for
graduation. Charms commemorating her engagement, wedding, first home, children--all
the major milestones of her life--followed in line.


With the mid-century trend for travel enabled her to see much more of the world
than her mother and grandmother had. Perhaps a small cruise ship charm told of her
honeymoon trip to the islands; or an Eiffel Tower charm of a romantic weekend in
France. She could spend many a cocktail party explaining the numerous exotic travel
mementos on her wrist.


Like many women of her day, a little pearl typewriter signified that she had
a job outside the home. She might have also enjoyed sports (golf and tennis) and
was loved the arts, particularly painting and theatre.


A woman might have added other charms to her bracelet simply for their beauty.
Compared to the flat, stamped charms of modern times, vintage charms are three-dimensional,
highly detailed, and often jeweled -- tiny works of art in their own right.


There's been a new trend for collecting vintage charms. Women today often wear
a single charm from their collection on a bracelet, or as a pendant. Collections
are often beautifully displayed in a shadow box, or hung from ribbons on a bulletin
board, mirror or frame.


Vintage charms make wonderful gifts. For a recently married bride, each guest
could gave the bride an antique charm representing one of her, or the couple's,
interests or experiences. For another bride, she could do the opposite, using the
antique charms as personalized thank-you gifts for her bridesmaids. Yet another
idea would be that a woman could treat herself each birthday to a charm with some
relevance to the preceding year of her life; and she could start the same tradition
for her young daughters.


Charms have become popular as a way to express individualism, because no two
bracelets are alike. Hobbies, crafts, work-related, and sports-related charms can
be easily found, as well as those pertaining to pets and animals of all kinds.


There is a huge selection of charms available today, with a charm for every season
and every reason. Many women find collecting charms addictive, and will include
a many bracelets in their collection. The ease of removing and replacing charms
make for endless combinations. A bracelet can be fashioned to correspond with any
mood or occasion.


Charms have recently seen an increase in popularity, especially with celebrities.
They've given their stamps of approval, as many Hollywood personalities have been
photographed with their charm bracelets on. Designers, like Pandora Jewelry, have
produced their own collectibles, and the sky is the limit in terms of both options
and price. Early charms were typically quite inexpensive, however some of the charms
available today can vary from under $10 to several hundred dollars each.

The Hidden Meanings Of European And American Charms

Starting at the inception of the 20th century and extending until the 1960s,
it was a mark of the middle-class that young girls be given a charm bracelet before
they reached puberty. At every holiday or anniversary, a new charm is added to the
bracelet, often by the relative who had given the original bracelet.


The demand for charms is ancient; only the method of marketing them is relatively
recent. Not all the charms on these bracelets were lucky emblems -- equally common
were hobby-related and school-related charms. In fact, the number of charms available,
and the ordinariness of many of them -- a telephone, a car, a cheerleader's megaphone,
a windmill -- may have devalued the word "charm" in the English language, so that
today it's often misunderstood that if someone refers to "charms" when that person
means "amulets."


The French, in particular, had a list of charms called "Le Langage de Porte Bonheur"
("The Language of Good Luck Charms") and included 10 charms that symbolized:


* An elephant: "Felicite" (happiness)

* A heart: "Amour" (love)

* A four-leaf clover: "Bonheur" (luck)

* A horsehoe magnet: "Argent" (silver -- or money, due to the magnet's "drawing"
power)

* A die, showing seven spots: "Veine" (games of chance; gambler's luck)

* The number 13: "Joie" (joy; the usual use of this number is as general luck or
gambler's luck)

* A pig: "Prosperite" (prosperity)

* A hamsa hand: "Richesse" (riches; this is not accurate -- the hamsa hand protects
against the evil eye

* A horseshoe: "Fidelite" (fidelity; not entirely accurate -- the usual meaning
is attraction or "drawing")

* A pansy: "Souvenir" (remembrance; it belongs more properly to the "language of
flowers")


During the 20th century American charm bracelet at left features a variety of
lucky charms in a bright mix of brass, copper, sterling silver, and gold-plated
metal. This bracelet is typical of the kind of jewelry worn by adolescent girls
in the 1950s and 1960s, collected charm by charm while traveling through the tourist
traps, flea markets, jewelry stores and yard sales. Many of the more modern American
charms symbolize:


* A silver heart engraved with initials: love for the named individual

* A brass heart pierced by an arrow: smitten romantic love

* A silver horseshoe: attraction or "drawing" luck

* A gold wishbone set with a pearl: wishes come true

* A silver horseshoe on which is placed a wishbone, a four-leaf clover, a horseshoe
and the words "Good Luck": good luck

* A gold and green enameled four-leaf clover: luck

* A silver money bag with a $ sign: wealth

* A copper horseshoe on which is placed a four-leaf clover: good luck

* A brass heart padlock: faithful love

* A silver spread of playing cards: gambling luck

* A gold double horseshoe set with an artificial diamond: money luck

* A brass money bag marked 1000: wealth

* A silver horseshoe: attraction or "drawing" luckOther popular 20th century charms
often found on European and American charm bracelets include:* A swastika: luck
(pre-Nazi Germany)

* Twin hearts pierced by a single arrow: reciprocated love

* An Amanita muscaria mushroom: luck

* A chimney sweep or his ladder and brush: luck

* A "Lucky Buddha": luck

* A black cat: gambling luck


And although unrelated to European and American charm bracelets -- but probably
made to meet Occidental rather than Far East tastes -- are, what are know as, Chinese
charm bracelets, made with glass beads, jade carvings, and metal amulets strung
on black cord and tied around the wrist.


Following similar design lines to Chinese charm bracelets, Pandora Jewelry invented
a new system for charm bracelets and necklaces, which added a new dimension in collecting
jewelry. This unique jewelry line established a foothold in Northern Europe as one
of the most successful jewelry businesses to date. Since 2002, Pandora Jewelry has
brought hope and opportunity to jewelers across North America.

Wholesale Italian Charms

Italian charms have become one of the hottest jewelry items on the market. As their demand continues to grow, so does the requirement for making bulk purchases by retailers. The Internet is the best place to find wholesalers of Italian charms. There are countless merchants and suppliers of Italian charms, most of them available online. One can sift through various web sites to find out more about the designs, material and prices of these items.

Most of the wholesalers offer heavy discounts for bulk purchasing. In some cases this discount can go up to 60 percent. If a wholesaler is selling only one particular design of Italian charm, you can always press for more discounts. In many cases the wholesalers are also the manufacturers. In such cases one can get a better deal, as the manufacturer would be ready to forego a commission as a wholesaler to develop a long-term business relationship.

Before purchasing Italian charms wholesale, it is important to check out the terms and conditions mentioned in the purchase agreement, in regards to faulty items. Some wholesalers take them back, while others don’t. Most of those who take them back stipulate a time limit for returning the faulty items.

If you are a retailer, you should explore the possibility of getting some ""credit"" from your wholesale supplier. If you are a consumer, planning to go for bulk purchase for a group of friends and relatives, it is better to buy them from a local store. If you are making purchases online, it is always safer to deal with an online store which has been in business for a few years.

At times, one can get a good deal on an auction web site, also. However, one should be doubly careful while making such purchases online, as the payments have to be made in advance and there are a number of fly-by-night operators that could vanish after accepting the payments without making any deliveries.

Italian Charms provides detailed information on Italian Charms, Custom Italian Charms, Italian Bracelet Charms, Wholesale Italian Charms and more. Italian Charms is affiliated with Fallen Angels

Circle Cubic Zirconia Pendant- Why Is This A Timeless Trend?

As you might expect, the circle cubic zirconia pendant is still around as one of the most important jewelry items. With many retailers expanding their selections to include matching earrings, rings and bracelets, the innovative variations of the circle theme continue to dazzle the fashion world…Why is that?

There is no better way to give a gift that expresses your love or gratitude to another person than to present them with a dazzling circle cubic zirconia pendant.

Instead of paying hundreds, or even thousands of dollars for a diamond pendant, many shoppers are turning toward cubic zirconia and sterling silver with rhodium plating (which all together, replaces the look of diamond in platinum metal setting).

With this said, the circle cubic zirconia pendant has been a very popular design for shoppers because it possesses a deeper meaning than meets the eye.

You see, a complete circle often symbolizes love or eternity; there is no beginning and no end. The same is said about real love; it is complete, has no definite beginning and no end.

A circle cubic zirconia pendant can have many meanings to different people. Perhaps a circle inspires a feeling that life has come full circle, or that everything is connected in some way or another.

Whatever your reason for wearing it, the many sizes of the circle cubic zirconia pendant remain popular and versatile. This means you can wear it with most outfits (whatever the style or color), and for most occasions—out with friends, at parties, or even at the office.

Even though it is a very fashionable trend, this simple design works for everyone—teens, young adults and women of all ages. Much like the design itself, there seems to be no visible end to the popularity of the circle cubic zirconia pendant.

This is one of the most dazzling and timeless looks you will want to own for a lifetime. Its graceful design will do nothing less than to scintillate loveliness while hanging from your neck, showing off its dramatic and dazzling diamond brilliance.

Although current trends seem to center around the elegance and femininity of the circle cubic zirconia pendant, the symbolic meaning of the circle combined with its simple, sleek appeal will no doubt make this jewelry item a timeless treasure you can wear your whole lifetime.

Penny Best Jewelry provides you with fine cubic zirconia jewelry and timeless designs, at an affordable price. The online store at http://www.pennybest.com offers you top quality cz jewelry including beautiful rings, earrings, stunning necklaces, dazzling bracelets, bridal sets, free shipping, free jewelry box and a 30-day money back guarantee.
