In English, a taglock is a matted bunch of wool or hair. Metaphysically speaking, a taglock is a personal item that creates a link to the target.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
A taglock is an item used in magical and spiritual practices to establish a connection with a specific person or entity.
It can be a personal object like hair, nail clippings, or a photograph closely associated with the target.
Taglocks are believed to carry the person’s energy, making them a powerful tool for various magical purposes.
They are often used in sympathetic magic to create a link between the practitioner and the target, allowing for influence or connection in rituals and spells.
When using taglocks, ethical considerations and respect for the individual represented are essential.

Taglock in Magick
If the taglock is from a person or animal, you might use hair, bodily fluids, a photograph, personal clothing, something bearing their signature, or fingerprints (or a paw print); any other item that can create a sympathetic link with the target of a spell.
If your target is a location rather than an individual, a suitable taglock might be a key to the building, some dust from a shelf inside the building, stone from a pathway, a bit of chipped paint, etc. Or, of course, a photograph. For a business, you might use a business card or some of their stationery with their letterhead on it.
The use of the taglock in the spell can vary. It can be used alone, placed inside a witches bottle or added to a poppet or other representational item.
