Every culture has developed protective and lucky charms and amulets, often in the form of jewelry. To make talismans spiritually effective, pray over them as you oil, wash, or smoke them. People who are not practitioners will not recogize these items as magical.

• Use a necklace locket, box ring, or poison ring to hold a written prayer or a tiny spell packet. Seal it with glue so it cannot be opened.

• Wear a charm bracelet as a collection of lucky and protective amulets.

• Learn gemstone symbolism and buy jewelry that supports your wishes.

• Fix “ordinary” jewelry with oil or incense smoke and pray over it for your own desires, or preperaory to giving it as a gift.

• To protect your mind from influence spells, wear earrings and hair jewelry dressed with protective oils to stand guard over your brain.

• If you live with someone, wait until they are out of the house and then bless (or curse) their earrings, barrettes, caps, hats, or scarves.

• Wear reflective or sparkly jewelry, such as metallic earrings, when out in public to reverse negative spells and bounce back the evil eye.
