Daoist Talisman Brass Amulet – Seven Star Sword 13.3cm, Bagua & Mystical Symbols for Protection

This ritual object integrates powerful Daoist symbols: the Seven-Star Sword, the Shangui Coin Charm, the Bagua, the Ziwei Imperial Sigil, and the combined thunder sigil known as “Yu Jian Er”.

Introduction to the Daoist Talisman

The Daoist Talisman is a potent and portable symbol of spiritual protection in Daoist tradition. This unique amulet takes the form of a miniature ritual sword, masterfully combining the sacred imagery of the Seven Stars (Big Dipper), the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and other mystical sigils into a single, powerful charm. Worn or carried, it is believed to channel the cutting energy of the celestial sword to ward off evil, deflect misfortune, and provide a constant aura of safety for the bearer.

The Power of Symbols in the Amulet

This Daoist talisman condenses profound Daoist symbolism into its sword-shaped form:

• The Seven-Star Sword Design: As a miniature ritual sword adorned with the Big Dipper pattern, it embodies the authority and cutting power of the heavens. It is a symbolic tool to “cut through” negative energies, obstacles, and spiritual harm, offering proactive defense.
• The bagua (Eight Trigrams): Often inscribed around the guard or blade, the Bagua represents the balance and harmony of cosmic forces. It acts as a stabilizer, helping to neutralize chaotic influences and create a protected, harmonious personal space around the wearer.
• The Mountain Spirit Ritual Coin (Shangui Huāqián): This symbol represents an ancient Daoist “fa-money” (ritual currency). It signifies command over and appeasement of earthly spirits and natural forces, guarding against misfortunes emanating from the earthly realm and attracting resourceful opportunities.
• The “Yu Jian Er” Combined Thunder Sigil: This is a powerful composite character talisman, uniquely formed by merging the three characters for “rain” (雨), “gradual” (漸), and “ear” (耳). It is one of the highest Daoist thunder magic seals, revered for its supreme efficacy in summoning celestial thunder forces, exorcising potent evil, and breaking formidable curses.
• Other astrological characters or imperial decrees (Ziwei讳) may be included, each invoking specific celestial guardians to provide layered and comprehensive spiritual fortification.

Rich Cultural Heritage as a Portable Charm

Far from an ordinary ornament, this talisman is a concentrated expression of ancient esoteric wisdom. It miniaturizes the function of the full-sized ritual sword (fajian) used by Daoist priests for exorcism and protection, making its power accessible for daily life. It serves as a personal spiritual shield, a constant reminder of divine guardianship, and a traditional tool for invoking protection during travel, work, or in the home.

Craftsmanship & Personal Significance

Meticulously crafted in brass and measuring 13.3cm, this Daoist Talisman is a fine piece of spiritual jewelry. It seamlessly blends traditional symbolism with wearable art. Carrying this talisman is intended to provide a tangible sense of security and spiritual confidence. It is a meaningful personal keepsake, a thoughtful gift for protection, and a striking conversation piece that carries the weight and depth of Daoist spiritual culture.
