All of the most used Witchcraft/Wicca Symbols all in one awesome app. Also
included are the Talismans of the Magi, see below for a brief overview.

Theophrastus Paracelsus revived, in the XVIth century, the ancient doctrine of
Talismans, which he claimed to be able to use successfully in the treatment of
illnesses and accidents. This medical doctrine, derived from the Cabala, or
secret tradition of the Jewish rabbis, was said to be borrowed from the
ancient occult sciences of Chaldea and Egypt. The talisman (tsilmenaia)
signifies an image, a figure, and was engraved in the form of an emblem or
symbol on metals consecrated to the genii of the seven planets. This magical
task had to be carried out at a fixed time of a certain day, with the firm
intention of attracting to the talisman the beneficent influence of the genius
which was invoked, whether for health or any other protective measures. We owe
to the celebrated Paracelsus the explanation of these secrets whose efficiency
is recognized by many serious thinkers, in the same way as that of the Agnus
Dei, so-called miraculous medals, and objects which have touched saintly
relics. Now the genii of the Orient being the original types of the Christian
angels, that is to say, representing the intermediary powers acting between
God and man, it is possible that the invocation of one or the other may not be
entirely pointless. Dogmas vary from one century to another and rites are
modified; but belief in God, in the soul of the world and in the sovereign
power of nature is always the same: it is to God, invisible to our eyes but
visible to our consciousness, that we address our prayers, whatever the form
they take.

Also included are the common traditions that are a part of, or spawned from
Witchcraft lore.
