The most powerful good luck amulets are objects that protect their bearer from bad luck, evil spirits or strange influences such as evil eye.

They are usually physical objects, generally in the form of a pendant or bracelet, although a written text and even a phrase said aloud also serves as an amulet.

They can also be an object with a special meaning for those who carry it, for example, something that someone who has good wishes to you or something that someone you have in high esteem has given you.

These amulets have power by themselves, and it is not necessary to activate them through a third person, as in the case of the Talismans, who require the action of an intermediary or shaman.

The power of these amulets is not related to their cost or the material they are made from. Thus, a wooden amulet can be as effective as one of ivory.

The Greeks and the Romans also had a lot of faith in these unique amulets. Each god of the Roman pantheon was associated with a precious stone, with which pendants or figurines that transmitted the powers of the God corresponding to his bearer were manufactured and brought good luck. A box where the Romans kept sacred texts was also hung by the neck, because they believed that if they kept it close to the heart, the body would absorb its content.

The first Christians carried under the clothes an amulet of fate in the form of a fish, called Ichthys, in search of divine protection (then we explain the meaning of this symbol).

At the same time, the Jews carried a gold pendant that contained fragments of the Torah as a fate.

Later, the Arabs would do something similar, but with fragments of the Quran. In the Middle Ages, the gentlemen carried amulets of the fate that protected them in battle along with spells and spells.
