Amulets: A World of Secret Powers, Charms and Magic by Shiela Paine
All over the world, throughout history, amulets have offered protection against negative forces, whether witchcraft, the evil eye, enemies, sickness or accident. Here, in 31 neatly themed and beautifully illustrated chapters, the components, protective qualities and symbolism of a huge range of amulets are thoroughly explored. Used to guard anyone and anything vulnerable, their popularity is undimmed today.
Sheila Paine has been a global traveller for over half a century, ever since she left England with a one-way ticket to South Africa in 1950. A world expert on tribal and peasant societies and their textiles, she is the author of Embroidered Textiles.
