Woman – magic – wish

Magic dates back to long ago, since man lived in caves. To reach his wishes and hopes, to improve his life and conquer his fear of unknown hazards and finally to seek a secure place with gods and angels, man resorted to magic. Whenever he could not reach his goal, he devised special tools and ceremonies. This seems to be still true. Talismans are objects which man believed are powerful enough to bring him close to his mysterious and hidden desires. Mystery is the cardinal base of Talisman.

Coded figures and symbols – indicating a holy Date or place – are illustrated in Talismans. Symbolic figures of man, plant, animal and flower are parts of Talismans. These letters and illustration along with numerals sit on metal tablets, dishes, dolls, etc.

They use these amulets to attain their desired one. Women expectation, women seeking help, women seeking love, women seeking cure, and women seeking power.
