Amulets & Talismans for Beginners: How to Choose, Make & Use Magical Objects by Richard Webster

Richard Webster introduces familiar and less familiar objects used as amulets, talismans and charms. The book discusses selecting or making personal objects, preparing them for use and understanding their symbolic associations.

Examples from different traditions accompany a dictionary of lucky charms. The guide describes magical beliefs and practices, not evidence that an object guarantees protection, prosperity or success.
