Publisher: Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd
USEFUL TOOLS FOR RELIGION, MAGIC AND LIFE The Pentagram, Star of David, Crucifix, rabbit's foot, painted pebble, or Hand of Fatima ... they all provide feelings of comfort and protection, attracting good while dispelling evil. The joy of amulets and talismans is that they can be made and used by anyone. The forces used, and the forces invoked, are all natural forces. Spanning the world through the' diverse cultures of Sumeria, Babylonia, Greece, Italy, India, Western Europe and North America, Gonzalez-Wippler proves that amulets and talismans are anything but mere superstition. They are part of each man and woman's search for spiritual connection. Here is the book I have been waiting for! Not only are we given a comprehensive survey of amulets, talismans, charms and fetishes from around the world and back through recorded history, but we are even told how to make them and why they are made. Yes, this is the book on the subject, far surpassing those of Budge, Regardie, Sepharial and the like. If you have any interest at all in the subject -- and you should have, for it is tied in directly to our very basic beliefs and fears -- then this is the book for you, practitioner and scholar alike." -- Raymond Buckland, Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft
