for use in Astral Talismans after being ritually prepared
as "bhasma" or sanctified ashes
Information and herb samples are courtesy of the
Nepal Ayurveda Association
A Kavacha or
"talisman" is not only the gem, which represents the earth element. A real
Astral Talisman is composed of all 5 elements, i.e., gem for earth, herb
for water, metal for fire, symbol for air, and cosmic number for space.
This process of "Pancha-amrita" astral talisman making is the most bona
fide. Even the Western alchemists are known to use herbs as the "water"
ingredient in an Astral Talismans. These herbs have been ritually turned
into "bhasma" or sanctified ashes. Therefore, one may understand that
the gem alone is not the complete kavacha or talisman, the gems are only
for one of five elements, viz., earth
The philosopher
Agrippa has nicely described in Three Books of Occult Philosophy the basic
preparation of astrological rings as follows:
"When
any star ascends fortunately we must take a stone and HERB that is under
that star, and make a ring of the metal that is suitable to this star,
and in it fasten the stone, putting the herb or root under it, not omitting
the inscriptions of images, names and characters, as also the proper
suffumigations."
In 1974 Dr.
Mana Vajracharya, Chairman of the Nepal Ayurveda Association, informed
us which are the ancient bona fide "bhasma" herbs for each planet. He
prepared nine different herbal bhasmas which should be sealed into tubes
that are part of a jewelry talisman. It took one week for the Dr. to prepare
the 9 herbs and transform them into ashes or Bhasma. At that time he also
provided rare samples of the actual herbs. We witnessed part of the process
which involves indirect fire to heat the herb until is stops smoking and
has transformed entirely into ash. Planetary mantras are recited during
this heating process.
All nine
herbs are available in Nepal (Himalaya) and some are quite rare even in
India where they sometimes substitute because of lack of the actual herb).
