Amulets and Talismans

Many people believes that amulets and talismans protect ourselves from danger or harm. Amulets are different from talismans as a talisman is believed to bring luck or some other benefit, though it can offer protection as well. Amulets are often confused with pendants - charms that hang from necklaces - any given pendant may indeed be an amulet, but so may any other charm which purports to protect its owner from danger.
