| | Amulet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Nevertheless, religious objects commonly serve as amulets in different societies, be these the figure of a god or simply some symbol representing the deity (such as the cross for Christians or the "eye of Horus" for the ancient Egyptians). | | | The ancient Egyptians had plenty of amulets for different occasions and needs, often with the figure of a god or the "ankh" (the key of eternal life); the figure of the scarab god Khepri became a common amulet too and has now gained renewed fame around the Western world. | | | Another aspect of amulets connects with demonology, demonolatry, and witchcraft; these systems consider a cross or pentagram star in downward position as favourable to communicate with demons and to show friendship towards them. |

| | Like the talisman and the charm, the amulet is believed to be the source of an impersonal force that is an inherent property of the object rather than the manifestation of a deity working through that object (see fetish and taboo). | | | In some modern religious practices, amulets such as the Jewish phylactery and the Christian cross are more strictly related to ritual and serve as personal reminders to the wearers of their relationship to God. | | | The use of the amulet to avert danger and to dispel evil has been known in different religions and among diverse peoples. |

| | Penis Amulets |
| | Like amulet #7, it depicts a naked yogini in the asana called "the bridge," laying atop a lion-haunched "penis-animal." As with all of the penises which depict naked yoginis, it is suitable for men who wish to express devotion to Sakti and can also be carried by women to protect themselves from muggers and rapists. | | | Like penis amulet #7, this one too is carried by women for magical protection, as well as by men who seek refuge in Shakti, the female spiritual principle, or who worship Devi, the goddess. | | | Early styles of palad khik bear inscribed invocations, entreaties, and praises to Siva; later ones combine these with interlineated invocations and praises to Buddha; modern ones bear uniformly Buddhist inscriptions, invariably written in an old form of script that cannot be read by contemporary Thais. |

| | AMULET in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online) |
| | Though there is no word in the Hebrew or Greek Scriptures denoting "amulet," the thing itself is manifestly implied in many parts of the Bible. | | | As distinguished from talisman (see TALISMAN) an amulet is believed to have negative results, as a means of protection: a talisman is thought to be the means of securing for the wearer some positive boon. | | | Hebrew, and carries with it the later view that phylacteries are used during prayer in harmony with the prayers or other formulas over the amulet to make it effective (see Budge, Egyptian Magic, 27). |

| | They do, however, place limits on the sanctity with which amulets may be treated, even ones with God's name inscribed on them (Shabbat 115b). | | | Many more physical examples of amulets from the medieval period have survived, giving us a clearer picture of the forms, as well as the logic behind them. | | | Thus the maker will subject himself to a period of purification, usually three days, following the example of the Israelites who purified themselves for three days prior to receiving the Torah. |

| | The Scarab amulet was one of several amulets dedicated to the Sun God Ra, and was one of the most important of over thirty funerary amulets. | | | Not many of the amulets in ancient Egypt were considered as simply "good luck" charms, but the Nefer, which was made of gold, promised to bring the deceased boundless happiness in the afterlife. | | | The next modification in amuletic tradition was the declaration that a drawing of an amulet or any sacred symbol contained the identical power as the actual amulet. |

The word hprr later became hpri, the divine name Khepri, given to the Creation god, who represented the young rising sun. | | | By far the most important amulet in ancient Egypt was the scarab, symbolically as sacred to the Egyptians as the cross is to Christians. | | | This was especially true when worn as a heart scarab or winged scarab to provide a safe journey into the Afterworld of the gods. |
