 Interesting. Yet the Taoist tradition says, with other words, that the best "talisman" is one's purity of intentions and method of action, something which can be easily translated as "good karma".  
 
 The Buddhists talk about merits. In the ML, too,  you will see the concept of "merits" as to disciples. Merit is 'good karma'. 
 
 As to physical talismans, except you have a full Initiate around, they will rather lead one into superstition or to and to 'selfish occultism'.   
 
 So the great talisman is one's duty, one's karma yoga, one's cleanliness of intentions...  which,of course, will depend on one's Antahkarana.
