Talisman Application Form

[Billi Plancarte]

UPDATEMarch 18, 2024): OMMA is working with the Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) to address bonds issued by Talisman Insurance Company and Talisman Surety & Fidelity Protected Cell, Inc. (Talisman). The OID has conditionally approved bonds issued by Talisman on or before Feb. 26, 2024. The bonds will retain authorization until the expiration of each bond's individual term. Licensees whose application has been rejected by OMMA due to this issue should resubmit their application with the original Talisman bond.

Please note that because Talisman is currently prohibited from issuing new bonds, this conditional approval only applies to bonds issued on or before Feb. 26, 2024. The OID is addressing the regulatory shortcomings Talisman exhibited throughout the process of issuing the bonds. Licensees with questions about the bond should contact their Talisman agent.

The bond shall be in an amount no less than $50,000 for each license and shall be issued by a surety company qualified to do business in the State of Oklahoma as a surety. OMMA may require a higher amount depending on the reclamation requirements.

This requirement is in effect for existing licensed growers and grower license applicants as of April 20, 2023. New or renewal grower license applications initially submitted after April 20, 2023, must submit this documentation as part of their application. OMMA will verify the bond or attestation of land ownership during the review process of a new or renewal license application.

Licensees can submit an attestation and accompanying documentation showing that the permit area on which the licensee will initiate or conduct commercial growing operations has been owned by the licensee for at least 5 years before submitting an application. Accompanying documents may include, but are not limited to, a recorded property deed, a court order, conveyance, or other document(s) proving land ownership.

The Surety Bond Form or Attestation of Land Ownership Form and accompanying documentation may be uploaded under the location information section of a grower license application, or it can also be emailed to OMMA...@omma.ok.gov.

Bonds that expire shall be renewed prior to 30 days before the expiration date of the bond. Upon expiration of a bond, commercial grower licensees shall provide proof to OMMA on forms and in a manner prescribed by OMMA of a new alternate bond or attestation and accompanying documentation meeting the requirements of OAC 442:10-5-3.3 before the date of expiration of the previous bond.

Pursuant to 63 O.S. 427.14, OMMA rejects any application not meeting the requirements of the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana and Patient Protection Act ("OMMPPA"). The provisions of SB 913 (2023) requiring growers to provide a surety bond or proof of land ownership are a part of the OMMPPA. Accordingly, OMMA will reject applications initially submitted to OMMA after April 20, 2023, by current licensees and new business applicants that do not have records on file with OMMA as required by SB 913 (2023).

With the return of elves to the lands of Sosaria came the return of many fey creatures. These talismans were forged by a master Tokuno craftsman who journeyed to Heartwood and studied at the feet of learned Elvish lore masters. When a ninja equips one of these items, it will permit him to use his Animal Form ability to transform into one of the newly-discovered creatures.

The Talismans Of The Fey are four Talismans that were introduced as a 8th Anniversary gift. They are dedicated to UO's seventh year, September 2003 to September 2004. You can use a 8th Anniversary Token to claim one. During the 9th Anniversary, Heritage Tokens were given out which could also be used to get one of the player's choice. Can be dyed with Pigments of Tokuno.

A talisman is any object ascribed with religious or magical powers intended to protect, heal, or harm individuals for whom they are made. Talismans are often portable objects carried on someone in a variety of ways, but can also be installed permanently in architecture. Talismans are closely linked with amulets, fulfilling many of the same roles, but a key difference is in their form and materiality, with talismans often taking the form of objects (e.g., clothing, weaponry, or parchment) which are inscribed with magic texts.[1]

Talismans have been used in many civilizations throughout history, with connections to astrological, scientific, and religious practices; but the theory around preparation and use has changed in some cultures with more recent, new age, talismanic theory. Talismans are used for a wide array of functions, such as: the personal protection of the wearer, loved ones or belongings, aiding in fertility, and helping crop production.

In Islam, using amulets as protection is considered Shirk.[6] However, use of verses of the Qur'an in slips of parchment rolled inside talismanic objects has been common throughout the Muslim World. For example, Muslim Ibn al-hajjaj instructed military commanders to inscribe Quran 54:46 on a cloth with rosewater, musk, and amber when Libra is rising and in the hour of the sun, and to carry it to the battlefield to prosper over oppressors and nonbelievers.[7]

In the Islamic world, talismans were regularly employed for personal, social, political, and ideological reasons at both popular and elite levels. They function as a conduit for divine protection, which can involve both the attraction of positive energies to the wearer and the deflection of disease, danger and the evil eye. They may also be referred to as a hafiz, (protector) as well as a himala (pendant) often affixed to or suspended from the body, for example as a necklace, ring, talismanic shirt, or a small object within a portable pouch.[1][9]

Lea Olsan writes of the use of amulets and talismans as prescribed by medical practitioners in the medieval period. She notes that the use of such charms and prayers was "rarely a treatment of choice" [10] because such treatments could not be properly justified in the realm of Galen's medical teachings. Their use, however, was typically considered acceptable; references to amulets were common in medieval medical literature.

For example, one well-known medieval physician, Gilbertus, writes of the necessity of using a talisman to ensure conception of a child. He describes the process of producing this kind of talisman as "...writing words, some uninterruptible, some biblical, on a parchment to be hung around the neck of the man or woman during intercourse."[10]

In the Quran, magic is introduced by the two angels of Babel, Harūt and Marūt. Magic, or sihr, was seen as a supernatural force existing in the natural world that could cure disease with charms and spells.[11] Many bowls were inscribed with text explaining what this bowl should be used to cure (i.e. colic, childbirth, a nosebleed etc.) as well as instructions of how to use it. The bronzed engraved "Magic Bowl" from Syria c. 1200[12] is an example of a dish used to ease childbirth as well as ease the sting of a scorpion and bite of a mad dog, according to the Quranic inscriptions on the inside of the bowl. Inscribed on this bowl are also suggestions that the person inflicted with the disease or bite, does not need to be the one to consume the liquid from the bowl. It could be taken by somebody around or associated to the inflicted person, but it does not mention how the magic is transferred to the person in need of help. This specific bowl was also used for barakah when the bowl was filled with water and sat overnight to absorb healing powers.[citation needed]

The Pseudo-Aristotelian Hermetica, a series of closely related Arabic texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus and perhaps dating to the ninth century CE,[13] explores the concept of ruhaniyyat, i.e., angels from spiritual force/realm in the natural world, and how an individual can gain access to those forces. Text between Alexander the Great and Aristotle explore a variety of instructions of how to harness these spiritual forces through talisman, concoctions, amulets, and more that are each used for a designated purpose. Some instructions include placing a carved stone on top of a ring that is then placed on a dead black ram when Mars is in a specific degree of Scorpio and the moon is in Cancer. These texts dates are unknown however, they were the basis of many mystical practices in the Islamic medieval world. The Pseudo-Aristotelian text Sirr al-Asrar offers more instructions specifically with "kings talisman" which keeps harm away. It tells that when there are certain astrological marks, a ruby red stone should be carved on a Thursday with a man with wings and a crown riding a lion with a flag, while six other hairless men bow under his hands. This should then be burned in an extensive ritual where after a ruhaniyyat will visit in your dreams telling you your ritual was successful, from there, you will repel snakes and scorpions.[14]

A record of Live like Ali, die like Hussein as part of a longer talismanic inscription was published by Tewfik Canaan in The Decipherment of Persian and sometimes Arabic Talismans (1938).[15]

The Seal of Solomon, also known as the interlaced triangle, is another ancient talisman and amulet that has been commonly used in several religions. Reputed to be the emblem by which King Solomon ruled the Genii, it could not have originated with him. Its use has been traced in different cultures long before the Jewish Dispensation. As a talisman it was believed to be all-powerful, the ideal symbol of the absolute, and was worn for protection against all fatalities, threats, and trouble, and to protect its wearer from all evil. In its constitution, the triangle with its apex upwards represents good, and with the inverted triangle, evil.
