years old (aprox) Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) is credited with the
invention of the Phurba (ritual dagger). During the struggle against the demons
who were fighting the establishment of Buddhism in Tibet, he is said to have
pulled out a peg from the tent of a non-believer and, using the peg to nail down
evil spirits, consecrated the ground on which the Samye Monastery in Tibet was
established in the eighth century. This simple peg became the Phurba, an
important tool of religious practice.
 
This 'sky bronze' skull Thogchag phurba has a HUGE amount of
power inside and when you hold it you will feel a sacred power like you have
never felt in your life. There are very few people in the world who can feel and
sense and need this sacred and special power.
 
TIBETAN SKULL THOKCHA / THOGCHAG AMULET
The skull which is a symbol of
human death and morality has very strong religious meaning in many different
cultures. The people of Tibet, Burma and the surrounding regions wear sacred
skull necklaces and beads and use skull malas as powerful forms of protection
from evil, dark and dangerous spirits and also to destroy any surrounding bad
energy. In pre-Columbian America the skull was given a very
special and honored place by the Aztecs and the different tribes in Mexico.
Nowadays the skull has lost a
great deal of its religious and spiritual meaning. Skulls have been placed at
the thresholds of apartments, houses and tribal huts to guard and protect the
inhabitants. Some tribes in the Congo area worship their ancestor’s skulls as
they believe that the person’s vital life source resides there. Tibetan monks
gave ‘memento mori’s’ to the family of a deceased person, these were usually
skull beads. These beads were given so the family would not forget the deceased
and the bead would act as a reminder that time and life passes very rapidly,
life is not endless and all earthly beings are transient. The sacred blessed
skull bead would also hold the spiritual part of the deceased and would help to
protect and guard the family. These skull beads were made from human and animal
bones. Skull bead necklaces and single beads are also known as ‘Kali’ beads
after the Hindu Goddess
Kali. **************************
We are releasing these special sacred and
empowered items to the world. The reason for the release of these items is that
the Earth as we know it is now a dark and dangerous place and Spiritual Sky would
like spiritual and sacred people to be part of the new awakening. There are very
few people in the world who can feel and sense and need this sacred and special
power.

years old (aprox) PHURBA DAGGER
In Sanskrit a phurba Dagger called the kilaya or
the kila and in Tibetan it is called the phurba or phurba. The phurba is also
called 'the magic dagger'. 'Phur' is translated from the Sanskrit 'kila' and it
means peg or nail. Padmasambhava is widely assumed to have invented the phurba.
Padmasambhava used the phurba to consecrate the ground when he established the
Samye Monastery in the 8th century. The phurba is a three-sided stake that is
used in Buddhist rituals. Because Tibet has always been a nomadic culture, the
tent is an important part of Tibetan lives, and placing the tent pegs into the
ground is always seen as sacrificing the ground. The shape of the phurba may
have come from the stake used to hold down tents.
The three-sided style of the phurba
comes from an ancient Vedic tool used to pin down sacrifices. The phurba has
three segments on its blade. The three segments represent the power of the
phurba to transform negative energies. These energies are known as the 'three
poisons,' and are attachment, ignorance, and aversion. The three sides of the
phurba also represent the three spirit worlds, and the phurba itself represents
the axis of the three spirit worlds. The phurba brings the three spirit worlds
together. The handle of the phurba represents 'wisdom', while the blade
represents 'method'.
The phurba is often stabbed down into a
bowl of rice or other grains in Tibetan rituals. Phurba’s can be made from
wood, bone, or metals such as copper and brass. If more than one metal is used
to make a phurba, it is done in a combination of three or nine metals, which
are both meaningful combinations numerically.
There are always carvings at the top of phurba’s.
Some popular images are skull heads or Buddha heads. Sometimes the Buddha heads
come in threes to mirror the blade, so that each way the blade is turned, there
is always a Buddha's head facing you.
The phurba symbolizes stability, and it is
often used during ceremonies. The phurba is often used by Tantric
practitioners. The phurba can also hold demons in place. Only those who are
empowered to use the phurba may use it in these rituals. The phurba can be used
to tether negative energies during ceremonies, or as a stabilizer. The blade on
a phurba is never sharp, it is only used as a ritual dagger, not an actual
weapon.
Phurba’s are only to be used
ritualistically by Shamans or those who have been taught how to properly do so.
To use the phurba, practitioners first meditate then stab the phurba into the
ground, or into a bowl of rice or grain, and imagine that the evil spirits or
negative energies are underneath the blade. Phurba’s are often used as
decoration in homes and temples, and many use phurba’s as part of their
meditation practice.  
POWER OF PHURBA:
The Phurba bears many
abilities;
- Phurba - Ritual Dagger is used to drive away evil spirits or negativity.
- Phurba has a huge amount of energy causes a huge amount of damage and
double damage to evil spirits.
- Phurba is
capable of moving under its own power by flying about and is quite fast and
capable of lifting a man off the ground (When attempting to resist the Phurba by
strength, the Phurba has the strength of four people.)
- The faces on
either side of the pommel can animate and bite anyone gripping the
handle.
- Phurba can unerringly track any being whose blood it has already tasted.
- Anyone killed by a Phurba, has his psychic linkages severed and is thrust
into oblivion.
- Victims of the Phurba never return as
ghosts.
This sacred skull Thokcha (Thogchag) phurba has been used in many healing and empowerment secret rituals. This sacred amulet
is infused with mystery, secrets and ancient mysticism and at this moment in
time, at the dawn of spiritual awakening this sacred amulet will open special
unlocked energy that is within your body, your mind and your spirit. This amulet
will help you to conquer all fear banish all evil and darkness and destroy all
negative and bad energies wherever they come from.  
THOKCHA (Thogchags): are
Ancient Tibetan talismans (amulets) which are traditionally worn next to the
body for protection, healing and good luck. They can also be fastened to
clothing, tied to religious articles, carried in the pocket, tied to other
sacred amulets and worn around the neck. Thokcha (Thogchag) amulets
have been used in sacred religious rituals for
thousands of years to dispel evil and all negative energy and to bring good
luck, healing and prosperity in all its forms. Thokcha (Thogchags) were frequently
used by the Tibetan Shamen in their healing rituals and were often given to the
person in need of healing as these sacred amulets have a huge amount of sacred
energy and magical power and would speed up the healing process. Thokcha (Thogchags) are
very sacred amulets and are believed to have fallen from the sky and are
magically formed and not manufactured by human beings. Thokcha (Thogchags) are made of
Bronze and meteoritic metals and date back as far as the Bronze Age. Thokcha (Thogchag)
translates as ‘Sky-Iron’ or ‘Heavenly
Iron’
# Ancient Thokcha (Thogchag amulets)
( 1000 years old and much older) are becoming increasingly difficult to
find. We do not believe this Thokcha (Thogchag) to be ancient ( 1000 years or
older) or made from meteorite metals. Thokcha (Thogchags) are made of
various copper alloys that are not bronze in the technical Western sense. In
Tibet they are known overall as 'li', which means
'bronze'. Thokcha (Thogchag) now is generally used to mean old pieces in copper
alloy that have been worn by Tibetans as protective pendants at some point in
their history. We estimate
that this sacred amulet is between 50 to 70 years old. We are unable to
authenticate its exact
age.
It is important that Thokcha (Thogchag) amulets be
treated with respect.
LOVING ENERGY IS IN IN
EVERYTHING
Whatever your circumstances, your immediate surroundings
contain boundless positive energy. According to ancient Tibetan medicine, matter
is slow-moving energy, and your consciousness can make any matter relax, open
and become pliable.
You can make it speed up or slow down. The energy in your
surroundings is like a golden cup covered with grime, which your mind can clean
so that it shines with love and positivity. The Tibetans believe that the
material world, the universe and the mind go through cycles of rejuvenation. By
working with the cycles, you unlock within yourself the basis of rejuvenation.
You can use your body's inner cycle.
GOOD FORTUNE
GOOD FORTUNE: comes about when the energies of your
body and mind click together. This is not just about the creation of wealth:
good fortune is the experience when you know deep inside you that everything is
right with the world. It is when you and the divine enjoy each others company.
Good fortune is a natural state of mind that is part of who you are. It is
inside you, just wanting to be released. Start by asking for it. Be humble and
receive. If you seek good fortune unskilfully- in other words, selfishly- you
will create obstructions. Good fortune never ever comes in a way that you expect
it, so open your heart for a happy suprise. You keep your good fortune by
sharing it and learning from it, not by showing it off. Use your good fortune by
showing other people how to access it, based on your own
experience.
For centuries many Buddhists have believed that by carrying a Blessed
Amulet with Buddha images, Luang Phor (Thai Buddhist Monks) or Gods you will be
given good luck, and protection. Blessed amulets will guard you from danger,
will dispel evil and negative bad and dangerous energy, and protect you from
disease. It is believed that a blessed Buddhist amulet will help you to gain
great wealth and will guard you and give you success while you are at home, at
work, or travelling. Sacred amulets can be cast from metal or carved from a
piece of wood, ivory, bone, or made from a special magical powder that contains
hundreds of different special and secret ingredients that are then pressed into
a mould and then baked. After this is done the amulets are blessed by monks in
order to give the wearer the sacred spiritual power of
protection.
*************************
Shamanism is humanity's oldest form of relationship to the spirit
world. As such, it is the underpinning beneath all religion. But shamanism is
not a religion. It is a complex set of practices, beliefs, values and behaviors
that enable the practicioner to elicit a shift from ordinary consiousness into a
trance state with a specific goal in mind, such as for healing, obtaining
information, power, vision, divination, contacting the spirit of the deceased,
soul retrieval or guidance for right action. Shamanic work is done with the aid
of a helping ally of some sorts that the shaman has befriended. They work
together as a cooperative team, with the ally being an intermediary between
different levels of reality and the shaman, an engineer of altering states of
consciousness.
Shamans throughout the world
and throughout time, recognize that the universe is alive, conscious, and filled
with spiritual power. Shamans know how to access this web of power and work with
it skillfully and effectively to address their, and their community's needs.
Shamanism is the use of shamanic practices within a shamanic value system.
Traditionally a shaman goes through the experience of a "calling", usually
through illness, accident or some unusual quality of being, then through an
arduous apprenticeship of teaching, training and testing, followed by some sort
of passage rite into their new status. Typically shaman do not define themselves
as such. Instead they are defined by their community based on what it is that
they do. Becoming a shaman and living as a shaman is a difficult and demanding
life path that many indigenous people shy away from because of its formidable
requirements. It is not about fun and glamor. Unskillful and uneducated acts can
cause harm, or even be life-threatening, to the practicioner as well as to
others. For shamanism deals with power, and power can move in many different
ways, like electricity. It is important to move slowly with respect, humility
and care.
In the cycle of life there is an
appropriate time for all things to
happen.
