It can strengthen your beliefs, endow you with tenacious perseverance and courage, and reinforce your conviction in spiritual elevation. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the entropy (degree of chaos) of an isolated system increases over time, but ancient copper coins formed a “low-entropy ordered state” due to human intervention during circulation—their inscriptions and wear marks all record their historical trajectories.
Antiqued numismatic charms melt and reorganize scattered ancient bronze, essentially reconstructing local order through craftsmanship to form symbolic objects that overlap time and space. In occult studies, such “carriers of time” are often regarded as mediums connecting the ancient and the modern, believed to break through the limitations of linear time and space to converge auspicious luck across different eras. China’s cultural relic protection regulations restricting the export of ancient coins have instead prompted strict screening of local old copper as raw materials for antiqued charms.
From an occult perspective, copper coins circulated within the same cultural sphere carry more synchronized aspirations; the consistency of regional energy fields may make the “purity of intention” of recreated charms higher than products mixed with heterogeneous cultural elements.
Scientifically, regional differences in trace elements of metals can also corroborate this characteristic—for example, northern copper coins have higher tin content, while southern ones have different lead-zinc ratios, and such geographical imprints may influence the energy interaction between the artifact and the wearer.
