Amulets and talismans have always been objects that are used to counteract any negative energy and, most people usually carry them as protection. However, today many people understand that good or bad energies can be found anywhere, even at home. Therefore, if you continue to read, you will learn what types of amulets you can keep inside your house to ward off those dark energies that can equally affect you.
The word amulet has two possible origins: one that comes from Latin “amuletum” and “amoliri” whose meaning is to separate or move away and the other from Arabic “jamalet” meaning object that is carried. In any case amulets have existed since ancient times to prevent bad actions and misfortune, and to attract good luck. In addition, they have usually been carried somewhere in the body, mainly, to deliver the person who carries them from diseases, misfortune and any evil.
Now, although any object can be good as an amulet or talisman since many think that this property of protection is given more by faith, the belief in the virtue of these objects and the rude superstition of the believer, actually there is a long list of objects that have properties and that can be used according to the needs of each one. However, all this comes from very old customs, from civilizations located in the East where amulets acquired great importance and recognition.
The use of amulets was so popular in these parts of the world: Persia, Syria and Egypt, that there is even a legend about Moses and the prohibition of these objects because of the importance that the Jews gave them, in such a way that he ordered to write precepts of the law in the doors, houses, clothes, in the different parts of the body, etc., where they could be read constantly and thus to move the Hebrews away from the superstition of using amulets; but the result was that these precepts also became amulets.
Similarly, Solomon in the time of Jesus Christ was the creator of some of them, considered the most powerful ones and with which they faced the evil spirits and serious diseases. But this had been inherited, in turn from the ancient Persians who also wrote about different parts of the body, like the ancient precepts of the Hebrews and were used as amulets.

Others who have also made use of the amulets have been the Tartars, the Chinese and the Brahminists. Similarly, the Buddhists from the island of Ceylon put on their bodies figures of demons as a kind of poultice where they felt pain because they believed that they could be cured with such actions.
