Amulets/Talismans
Amulets and Talismans are used somewhat interchangeably, but basically talismans are the arche-typal lucky charms, drawing some specific good fortune toward you, while amulets tend to have protective, preventative or curative powers. Confusion derives from the tendencey in the English language to skate over these topics very quickly. Other languages have specific names for every specific type of talisman or amulet, all very precise. Our word "amulet" is believed to derive from the Latin amuletum meaning "a method of defense"(reminiscent of ammunition).
There are typically two forms of talismans and amulets:
Those that are written
Independent objects
Magick spells are frequently required in order to create talismans and amulets.
