The process
The Cleaning:
It all starts with a sheet of poplar wood that i clean with a mix of water, salt, copper, silver and gold. This cleaning is required so i remove any energetic information that this piece of wood has.
You may ask how is possible for a piece of wood to have information in it. Trees are living organisms and they interact with the environment. Scientists proved that plants can even “hear” sounds and feel vibrations and grow accordingly to their stimulus.
So I don’t need in my talismans bad energy from a tree that grew near a highway with a lot of traffic or a near an industrial site. To avoid any of these possibilities I do this cleaning and leave the piece of wood to soak and charge overnight under the moonlight.
The Cutting:
After the wood is cleaned and soaked I begin to cut it in pieces of 9 x 9cm. The cutting is done mechanical, without the use of any power tools. I just take a small saw and cut every piece out of the big sheet.
The Carving:
The runes are then burned onto the piece of wood, line by line, using different sized copper wires that are heated in fire. Exactly like the Elders did.
The Ritual:
After the talisman is engraved it is burned and a certain ritual is performed. The details of the rituals cannot be disclosed but I can say that the process of making each talisman is like a meditation for me in which I visualize each attribute of the runes and how they will improve the owner’s life.
The NFT:
While the talisman is burning I take a picture of it. With my phone. No artistic work, no special effects, no cameraman. This project is not about photography, is about the power that these talismans have.
After I make the picture, I burn the whole talisman to ashes.
This way the information that the talisman had is now gone somewhere in the Universe and the only thing left of it is the NFT.
After the purchase:
After you buy the NFT you should meditate a little by just looking at it for a few minutes. If you are relaxed enough, you should experience heat or maybe some tingling sensations. This is perfectly normal as you absorb the power of the talisman.
That’s it. You now have an NFT in your collection and it’s energy inside you.
