The first comprehensive illustrated study of the use of amulets around the world and throughout history • Explores not only the substances and symbolism from which amulets derive, but also the people and objects they protect • Explains the differences between and the purposes of amulets, talismans, charms, and fetishes All over the world and throughout history amulets have offered protection against negative forces, whether witchcraft, the evil eye, enemies, sickness, or accidents. Intricately beautiful or starkly simple, they come in an astonishing variety of guises: from stones, shells, and seeds, through animal tails, teeth, and claws, to beads, mirrors, needles, and bells. With over 400 lavish color photographs, this book explores amulets from every angle, including their symbolism and the diverse material used to craft them as well as the people and objects they protect. Sheila Paine traveled all over the world--from Afghanistan, Russia, and Albania, to Cameroon, Tunisia, and Mexico--to research the form, properties, and use of amulets, whether for health and safety or as channels for spiritual or magical powers. Worn as necklaces, sewn to clothing, painted on buildings, or hung in vehicles, amulets guard babies and brides; warriors, hunters, and travelers; livestock, crops, and homes through magical, not physical, means. Malign spirits and hobgoblins at crossroads have been feared since ancient times, but modern dangers--car crashes, new diseases, even cell phones--have ensured an abiding faith in the magical protection that amulets afford us that is still widely evident today.

Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... fetishism I. definition The word Fetishism has been so misused of late that ethnologists are apt to view it askance and hesitate to employ it in religious classifications'. It has been stretched to such an extent in various directions that it has lost the definition and precision necessary for a scientific term. Starting fmm a. frmnhlp. origin, Tfifer11! its niye land (Portugal) to the charms and amulets worn ' for Juck, ' and to relics of saints, ' fetish' grew to such amazing proportions when transplanted to W est African soil, that" at Tast "there"was nothing conrietoPheO!Irrcan rellinQn to which itjvas jlol_applied. De Brosses introduced Fetichisme as a general descriptive term (8), supposing the word to be connected with chose fee, fatum. Comte1 employed it to describe the universal religious tendency to which Dr. Tylor has 1 Philosophic Positive. given the name of Animism (71, chaps. xi.-xvii.). Bastholm claimed 'everything produced by nature or art, which receives divine honour, including the sun, moon, earth, air, fire, water, with rivers, trees, stones, images and animals, considered as objects of divine worship, as Fetishism;1 and Lippert (46) defines Fetishism as aelief in the souls of the departed coming to dwell in any thing that is tangible or visible in heaven or earth.' Although Miss Kingsley (39, 139) expresses regret that the word Fetish 'is getting very loosely used in England, ' she scarcely helps forward the work of distinction and arrangement when a few lines further on she announces ' When I say Fetish, or Ju Ju, I mean the religion of the natives of West Africa.' Subsequently she overstepped her own definition, describing the secret societies as 'pure fetish' (41, 139), although they 'are not essentially...
