Amulets vs. Talismans

Both Talismans and Amulets are magickal objects that are small in nature, therefore making them conspicuous and able to be worn or carried without arousing suspicion. Often, they will be pieces of jewellery suitable for everyday wear or objects that can be discreetly carried on your person.

1. Amulet: provides protection from danger and harm.

2. Talisman: attracts a particular benefit to the wearer/carrier. 

AMULETS:

The general consensus is that Amulets provide protection against bad luck, illness, and evil. They may do this in a general sense, or serve a more specific protective purpose.

The most common form of Amulet to be found, are necklaces and pendants as they can be worn daily without raising alarm, and it is believed by some that the closer to the body an Amulet is worn, the more powerful its effects will be.

Some potential Amulets include: gems and crystals, stones, figurines (people, deities, animals, mythological creatures); diagrams; bones; plants, and words.

TALISMANS:

Talismans are, like Amulets, items that hold magickal power. 

There is debate over what the exact differences between Amulets and Talismans are, and it will vary between sources as to what you read or see. 

In general, Talismans are said to draw things to the wearer/carrier, instead of have a passive protective effect and their magick is specific and not generalised; by this, I mean that unlike Amulets that can just serve general protective purposes, Talismans are used to attract specific benefits tat are determined by their design. They can also be charged to increase their power.

Talismans are more complicated than Amulets in appearance; Amulets can simply be a crystal hung on a leather throng that you wear around your neck, whereas Talismans tend to have symbols, figures or incantations carved or engraved onto them in colours that correspond to the intended benefit you wish to bring upon yourself. 

When it comes to having your Talisman on your person, it is much more common for the item to be something you can carry in your purse, pockets or bad than something you’d wear. They can also be placed near the item or person you wish to bestow the benefits upon. For example, you may place the item above a child’s bed if you want to give them good dreams, or put it into your purse if you wish to draw wealth and prosperity to yourself.

like gods. I don’t work w any fictional characters as deities bc none of the characters I would do that for, in theory, would want to be worshipped

but like, I use persona 5 joker/arsene/satanael as imagery for Lucifer bc it jives with me and who fucking cares. I’m not an inexperienced witch, I know how to handle my own shit

y’all really just can’t imagine shit beyond ur own ideas huh. like maybe mind ur own business and realize you sound equally ridiculous to the general public

Do you think that the majority of “pop culture paganism gods” are malicious entities fucking with gullible fangirls/boys? Typically, I think they’re just bullshitting themselves or lost in fantasy — but occasionally, it seems as if they are downright being fucked over by something pretending to be whatever anime demi-goddess they pray to.

I think most is maladaptive daydreaming but some people are definitely getting taken for a ride by opportunistic spirits who see an easy meal

[satansfemme]

I’m back from the dead bc I went into the pop culture pagan/witch tag and saw ppl saying bullshit

say what you want about buzzfeed unsolved but lets be honest with ourselves, the theory that shane is a demon and that’s why they never see any real supernatural bullshit is so much funnier then ghosts just not being real

Do you ever interact with someone and you realize “this person has never had to consider or think about what their place in the world is, and why they believe certain things or act certain ways, this person has never considered society at length” and it’s just terrifying

I’m at my dog sitting job in a pretty old countryside farm and the lady who does the cleaning up here told me this morning that there are old tunnels (now closed up) running from the house to the church (1km) and I did not want to know that
