✨ The Power of Amulets: Jewelry That Protects and Empowers
🌍 Across Cultures: Why Amulets Have Always Been More Than Jewelry
Since the dawn of civilization, amulets have been far more than mere ornaments. Across cultures, from the deserts of North Africa to the temples of Asia, these small yet powerful objects have served as protection against evil, bringers of luck, and symbols of personal power.
🔮 What Exactly is an Amulet?
An amulet is a piece of jewelry or an object believed to possess mystical or protective powers. Unlike talismans (which attract luck), amulets are designed to repel harm — from evil eyes to negative energy.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Amulet | Protects from harm and bad energy |
| Talisman | Attracts good luck and positive energy |
| Charm | Small object often carrying personal meaning |
