From the most ancient times, humanity has created a different kind of artifact, designed to be worn on the body and to ward off misfortune or bring good luck. Today, we call these things talisman or an amulet. But they differ from each other, and what is the guardian? What are they? Is it possible to wear both the cross and the amulet, or more magical things? On all of these issues and a few others, we respond in this article.
What kinds of amulets and talismans are and how to wear them?
Let's start with the most important - with the definitions. Often, the words talisman, amulet and the guardian regard as synonymous, but this is the wrong approach. The shades of meaning here is quite important.
So, the mascot - a magical object whose function is to attract the desired forces of situations. Therefore, the mascot can be used to attract luck, love, improve the financial well-being, attractiveness and so on. In terms of games of +10 to charisma, +100 to health. Therefore, we can say that Pushkin in their chains, Guard me, my talisman, a gift of meaning in favour of the rhyme and the size.
How to wear the talisman: since the function of protection of the mascot generally is not responsible, its best to hide it from prying eyes, to wear close to the body or simply to have on oneself, wrapped in cloth. But each pet must be examined separately, often talismans contain elements of the amulet, that is to say, the protection, which we describe below. For example, the image of the cross, the solar energy characters, the pentagram as a part or base of the mascot of the to protect against negative attention. The stone-talisman, you can also wear on the head, because natural minerals have a natural protection. Similarly, in the case of the ring-mascot - ring at the base of its has the hoop, the circle, the guardian, the symbol of the wheel of life. And the mascot of the pin better pinned on to clothes to not be seen.
The amulet (from the latin amulētum) - magical object designed to reduce or divert support of adverse effects of factors and forces. The amulet can protect them in a way, preserved from the corruption and the evil eye. It can also bring good luck. But the difference is that the mascot is like a magnet for luck, in the pulling, and the amulet prevents something happened, this will break your plans. Therefore, the result may be the same, but on the mechanics of the process will be different.
How to wear an amulet: because it fulfils a protective function, does not have much value if it is visible to others. It can be worn discreetly (for example, christian cross in its title is already a clue, where is the place of this, in effect, the amulet on the body). You can put on and show, over-the-clothes. This can be a ring, earrings, suspension - these are often worn on the red thread on the wrist as a bracelet. In fact, the red wire can also be an amulet.
The word talisman comes from the verb Russian protect, and his appointment is similar to appointment of the amulet. It protects against the evil eye, negativity and evil. However, the guardian may be not only personal object in a portable on the body or on your self. The guardian can be used for the protection of the home, car, or other property, and position, respectively, to the door of the kitchen in the house, or hung under the mirror in the car (a doll of magic, a bag, etc). Also the function apotropaic can perform is not a separate topic, and, for example, the embroidery on clothing - remember the clothes worn by the ancient slavs, where each element has its own meaning and destination.
How to wear a talisman: primarily, amulets of those who has a personal character, and does not belong to the house, put on the screen, in a visible place. In the traditional culture, the guardian has been an integral part of clothing and fashion embroidery, jewelry, articles of clothing (such as, for example, the belt). Charms worn in the vicinity of important and most vulnerable places on the body - how to have seen on the national consciousness. These locations have been the area around the face (hats, earrings), chest (necklaces, suspensions), the region of the waist and below the waist (belt loops), wrists (bracelets, or embroidered sleeves. Also amulets worn on the back, on the back - against the evil eye and the words, thrown in the back. Today, this function of protection of the back may carry, for example, icons and charms on the backpack.
All types of these magical objects can be as artifacts, that is to say, the objects created by man (and not even necessarily from the beginning with the magic goal – for example, the iron horse), and objects of natural origin. It is, for example, the crystals and the druze of stones, parts of animals (for example, fangs or feathers, grass and twigs of plants, and other gifts of nature.
