Many families had amulets and talismans many centuries ago. They were regarded and kept in a special way, passed from generation to generation. They did not attend any important affairs without an amulet.

They did not go on a trip or marry without a periapt. They helped warriors avoid bullets and return alive from the war. So, where did the amulet come from?

Where do amulets come from?

The word “amulet” comes from the Latin (amulet ), an indication of the power the Romans invested in amulets as protection against evil spells. Prehistoric amulets representing fertility and animals have been found near some of the oldest known human remains.

Archaeologists have also unearthed shells, claws, teeth, and crystalline solids dating to 25,000 b.c.e. Engraved with symbols and sporting small holes, the objects were probably worn as necklaces.

Animals have been used as symbols in amulets since the earliest times. Modern amulets include a rabbit’s foot; when rubbed, it brings luck. Since prehistoric times, hunters have used objects they picked up on the way while hunting, be it rocks, tree fragments, feathers, leaves, etc.

If the hunt was successful and they brought back enough food, they would keep the item as a good luck charm. On the contrary, if the hunt is not profitable, they will throw it away and then pick up another one, until they find the right one, and when they find it, they will use it as a necklace or pendant.

During the Middle Ages, magicians and sorcerers were highly sought after as amulets for people, even as the Inquisition was in charge of persecuting everyone who prepared or used such devices.

During the imperial era, superstitious practices were introduced into Greek and Roman culture, with numerous figurines and rings, believed to be amulets, curing certain diseases and acting as protective charms. These traces have been found in Egyptian tombs and sepals.

As a precursor to Eastern culture, the Tartars, Chinese, and Brahamers used Buddhist amulets, which were placed on different parts of the body where they felt pain or discomfort.

Today, amulets are used in the same way as they were in ancient times, to protect and attract good luck. Many people seek them out according to the needs and beliefs they most attract and use them as decorations to attract what they want.

Amulets originated a long time ago and still exist today. We can confirm that the spiritual world is completely real, but it is difficult to explain. Do you believe in Amulets?
