Well, leaving the victorianism "high vibrations" aside, the Bishop had a
point on that one.  A few years back I saw the ikon exhibit at the Art
Institute and the energy coming from them thar' things nearly blew me out of
the room.  It seems that as they were sewn, the makers had a prayer for each
stitch and the power of that process is still imedded in the completed work.

But then Leadbeater also wrote a short article on talismanic magick in one of
the old Theosophist issues that is still one of the best I've ever read.
 I'll have to dig it out again someday.
