3rd Black Pullet Talisman: Conjure Powers

The 3rd Black Pullet talisman: conjuring the celestial and infernal powers

A talisman from the Black Pullet, with a purpose stated in its own words

The Black Pullet is a grimoire with its own set of rings and talismans, and the pieces in this line are made in that tradition: the rings and silk embroidered talismans from the Black Pullet Grimoire, each hand made with the proper materials.

That sentence is worth sitting with, because it is broader, and stranger, than most talisman purposes. It does not name a single spirit, a single outcome, or a single kind of help. It names two orders of power — celestial and infernal — and says this talisman serves to conjure them. To conjure, in grimoire language, is to call, to summon, to bring into presence for a working. A talisman that serves that purpose is therefore not an end in itself. It is an instrument for calling, a tool whose work begins when it is used in a conjuration, rather than a charm that works by simply being owned.

That distinction should shape how you approach this talisman. If you want a piece to carry for general good fortune, there are other talismans in the Black Pullet line, and in the shop generally, made for narrower, everyday purposes. This one is for a practitioner who conjures, who works with powers above and below in the grimoire's cosmology, and who needs a talisman made for that calling work itself. Be honest with yourself about whether that is your practice. A conjuring talisman in the hands of someone who does not conjure is a beautiful object without a working to serve.

Celestial and infernal: what the pairing means in grimoire work

The pairing in the quoted sentence — celestial and infernal — is not accidental, and it is not a contradiction to be resolved away. In the grimoire tradition, celestial powers and infernal powers are two orders that a practitioner may need to call upon, for different workings, at different times, and sometimes within a single operation that requires both. A talisman that serves to conjure both is therefore a general instrument of calling, rather than a specialist tool for one order alone.

Practically, that breadth means the talisman's use depends heavily on the working it is used in. The same talisman, used in a celestial working, serves the calling of celestial powers. Used in an infernal working, it serves the calling of infernal powers. The talisman does not decide the working. The practitioner does, by the conjuration they perform, the words they use, and the purpose they have set. It is an instrument in the practitioner's hand, not a substitute for the practitioner.

That also means the talisman should be understood as part of a larger practice, not as a standalone solution. Conjuration, in the grimoire sense, involves preparation, a space set apart, words spoken with intention, and a closing that returns things to order. A talisman made for conjuring supports that practice. It does not replace the practice, and it does not teach it. If you are new to conjuration, the honest path is study and teaching in the tradition you follow, with the talisman as a tool within that learning, not as a shortcut around it.

Hand made, in the Black Pullet line

The rings in the line are made of pure steel, then bronzed, as the grimoire requires, and the talismans are silk embroidered. Those are not arbitrary choices of material. They are the materials the tradition calls for, worked by hand, rather than mass produced in other materials that happen to look similar.

Hand making also means variation. As with the rings in this line, the images shown are sample images of past work in the general sense, and a hand made piece will be unique, and will look different from a photograph, because it was made by a hand rather than a machine. If you want an identical copy of a photograph, this is not that kind of product. If you want a talisman made by hand, with the proper materials, for the purpose named in its title, that difference is the whole point.

There is a further point about hand making that belongs here. That statement, made for the line as a whole, is about method: the design is formed by a human hand, slowly, with attention, in the way the older work was done. A machine can cut a cleaner line. A hand cannot, and that is not the point. The point is that a person formed the piece, with intention, for a named purpose. When you use the talisman in a conjuration, you are using something shaped by a person, not stamped out.

How a conjuring talisman is worked with

Working with a conjuring talisman follows the general ways of working with a seal or talisman that this site describes: holding it, putting it under a candle, putting oil on it, carrying it with you, wearing it as a pendant, and showing it to the desired person where that is appropriate to your practice. For a conjuring talisman, those general ways take on a particular shape, because the purpose is calling.

Holding the talisman during a conjuration, for example, is not only a gesture of possession. It is a way of keeping the instrument of calling in the hand while the words are spoken, so that the calling and the talisman are present together, in the same working, at the same time. Putting the talisman under a candle, similarly, is a way of placing it at the centre of the working space, under the light that marks the space as set apart, while the conjuration proceeds. Carrying it, or wearing it, between workings keeps it as part of the practitioner's regular equipment, rather than as an object kept in a drawer and brought out only when needed.

Which of those ways you use depends on your practice, and on the system you follow for conjuration. There is no single correct form here, and this article does not prescribe one. What matters, across all of them, is that the talisman is used deliberately, in a working with a clear purpose, rather than kept as an ornament. A conjuring talisman that is never used in a conjuration is not fulfilling the purpose the grimoire gives it. Use it, in the workings you actually perform, and let its use be the measure of its place in your practice.

Preparing for a conjuration with this talisman

Preparation for conjuration work starts with the same basics as any other serious working, and they are worth stating plainly because conjuration is easy to rush into and hard to do well in a hurry. First, a clear purpose: what powers are to be conjured, and for what working? The talisman serves both celestial and infernal powers, but a single working should still be clear about which it is calling, and why. A conjuration that tries to call everything at once, for no stated purpose, is not a broad working. It is an unclear one.

Second, a space set apart, and a time set apart, for the working. Conjuration is not background activity. It needs a room, or a part of a room, cleared and kept for this purpose, and a period of time in which you will not be interrupted. Third, the words you will use, known beforehand, in the system you follow, rather than improvised on the spot. Fourth, a closing, planned in advance, that returns the space to ordinary use and puts the tools away in their proper place. A working without a closing is unfinished, and unfinished workings are a poor habit to form.

When you first receive the talisman, take time with it before you use it in a full conjuration. Hold it. Look at it. Carry it for a few days in ordinary circumstances, so that it becomes part of your equipment before it becomes part of a charged working. A tool you have only just unwrapped is not yet part of your practice. A tool you have lived with for a few days is.

Keeping a record, and knowing what to look for

Keep a short record for workings with this talisman: the date, the purpose in one sentence, whether celestial or infernal powers were called, what you did, and what you noticed afterwards, over days and weeks, not just on the night itself. Note changes in the working itself — was the conjuration clearer, steadier, more responsive than workings without the talisman? — as well as changes in the situation the working was for. Both kinds of observation matter, and both should be written in plain language.

If nothing changes, that is also information. It may mean the purpose was unclear, the timing was wrong, the work was not appropriate, or simply that the situation needs a different approach. Do not repeat the same conjuration endlessly in the hope that repetition alone will force a result. Do the work properly, once, observe, and then decide, calmly, whether a second working, a different approach, or no further working is the right next step. Repetition without reflection is not persistence. It is noise.

And be careful about how you read results. Conjuration is a suggestive practice, and it is easy to credit every vivid experience to the talisman and every flat one to its failure. A written record, kept in plain language, is what keeps you honest about that. Write what happened, not what you hoped had happened.

When this is not the right talisman

Sometimes the right answer is not a conjuring talisman at all. If you do not practise conjuration, or if your practice is centred on a different kind of work — prayer, meditation, divination, or everyday protective practice — then a talisman made for conjuring the celestial and infernal powers is not the tool for that practice, however beautiful it may be. Choose a talisman made for the work you actually do, rather than for the work you admire from a distance.

It is also worth asking whether the working you have in mind needs a general conjuring instrument, or a specialist one. A general instrument, serving both orders, is versatile, and versatility is useful to a practitioner who conjures widely. But a working with a very specific purpose may be better served by a talisman or seal made for that specific spirit or purpose. Make it honestly, and let it guide your choice.
