Experience

I have drawn many of these for myself and for others. With few exceptions, they have always worked in rather dramatic ways. I've had women I'd just met, see one of these and suddenly tell me how great I make her feel. I've given it to women I know and, men that were treating them as sex objects, suddenly fall in love and want to take them home to meet the parents. One woman got one of these, made a small prayer offering to Aphrodite, and had the best sexual experience with her mate that she'd ever had. However, it has been my experience that it must be hand drawn to have the proper effect.

Analysis

DAMNAMENEUS is one of the Idaean Dactyls (fingers of mount Ida) and discovered iron. In ancient times, smiths were considered to work magic and and control the spirits that came from the fire of the forge. It is my belief that this name invokes the active element of the talisman to cause things to happen.

AKRAMMACHAMAREI is one of the power words used for many spells. These are meant to be spoken and the vibrations energize the spell. This confers the authority that controls the spirits and energies of the talisman.

The pictograms on the sides appear to represent sewing of grain on the right hand side and the reaping of benefits on the left (the left side could also mean the intended target coming to the possessor of the stele). The gamma and beta in the upper left represent life and wealth, respectively. Therefore, they are a wish for a healthy and wealthy mate. I'm not certain of the exact meaning of the initials in the dome at the top but one possibility is the initials of the intended target.
