Lucky Charm. For protection in the face of misfortune and comfort in the face of evil, many folks wear an amulet. Ranging from a small colored stone to a piece of animal fur, amulets vary considerably. The Egyptians relied on them, creating a remarkable range of pieces decorated with the eye of Isis. Astrological amulets continue to be popular, as do St. Christopher medals, the most popular Christian amulet. |
