Since ancient times, mankind has created all sorts of artifacts, designed to be worn on yourself and help fight off the trouble, or to attract good luck. Today we call these things a talisman or amulet. But how do they differ from each other, and what is the amulet? How come? Can be worn simultaneously with a cross and an amulet or a few magical things? All of these questions and some more we answer in this article.
What kinds of amulets and talismans come and how to wear them?
Let's start with the most basic - with the definitions. Often the words of the talisman, the amulet and the amulet are considered synonymous, but this is the wrong approach. Shades of meaning are here quite significant.
So, a talisman - a magical object, whose function lies in the involvement of the carriers of the desired forces, the situation. So, the mascot can be used to attract good luck, love, improve the financial wealth, attractiveness and so on. Speaking the language of computer games: +10 charisma, +100 to health. So we can say that Pushkin in their ranks Either me, my talisman given to reason, please a rhyme and the size.
How to properly wear the talisman: because the protective function of the mascot usually does not carry, it is better to hide away from prying eyes, worn close to the body, or just have it with me, wrapped in appropriate fabric. However, with each additional charm is to be understood separately - they are often talismans, contain in themselves the elements of the amulet, i.e. protection, than we will detailed explain below. For example, images of crosses, solar symbol, the pentagram as a part of or the basis of the talisman will protect him from the negative attention of others. Stone-mascot is also possible to carry on the memory, because natural minerals have a natural protection. The same goes for rings-mascot - ring in the base has a hoop, ring-amulet, a symbol of the wheel of life. And the mascot on the pin better pin on the inside of the outside clothes, to not be seen.
The Amulet (from the Latin amulētum) - magical object, which should cut down or distract from the carrier the influence of adverse factors and forces. The Amulet can defend in the way, protected from damage and the evil eye. It can also bring happiness. But the difference is in the fact that the talisman acts as a magnet for luck, a drawing, rather of the amulet prevents something, what breaks your plans. So the result may be the same, but on the slim mechanics, if it's about the process will be different.
How to properly wear the amulet: so how it performs a protective function, too does not matter, whether it will be visible for the people around you.
