Amulets, talismans and fetishes

July 24, 2020

In Egyptian culture different amulets and talismans were adopted that provided security, luck or protection.

The truth of fetishes

When we attribute magical powers to images of deities whether they are Catholic, African, Buddhist, Aztec, etc. we are talking about fetishes. This concept comes from the Portuguese "feitiçio", which means spell. Although the word fetish has taken on different connotations, fetishism consists in worshiping and worshiping an image that represents a supernatural power.
