Symbols and amulets
Man's desire to protect himself from bad luck, illness and evil is as old as man himself. Ever since the days of the earliest cavemen, an amulet, an object associated with mysterious and magical properties, has provided a sense of protection. Amulets are the answer to ancient needs to be healthy, strong and fertile, to be successful and to have good luck. The term "amulet" comes either from the Latin word "amuletum" or from the Old Latin word "amoletum", which means "means of defense".
Symbols and amulets are important elements in rituals and can have many different symbolic meanings depending on the purpose of the ritual. Individually chosen symbols and amulets bring personal meaning and power to ritual participants.
Symbols and amulets reflect spiritual growth, wisdom and deeper understanding. They also symbolize protection and safety, happiness and success, love and connection, the power of the elements and communication with the spirit world. Symbols and amulets also serve as important reminders of one's own aspirations.
