Amulets & Talismans for Beginners: How to Choose, Make & Use Magical Objects (2004)
by Richard Webster
Mostly useless, but has two interesting chapters.
One is on the folklore of lucky charms.
Acorn - makes the path ahead smoother
Badger's Tooth - good luck at cards
Bee - bad luck when a bee dies inside your house
Butterfly - good sign when a white butterfly settles near you
Coin - a lucky coin is any coin that happens to be in your possession
Ear - there was a good reason for those Nam vets to wear necklaces of ears
Four-Leaf Clover - eliminates unpleasant surprises
Ladybug - bad luck to kill a ladybug
Rabbit's Foot - works better if carried in the left pocket
Spider - bad luck to kill a spider
Swastika - was considered good luck before the Nazi usurpation
The other one is on the folklore of minerals.
Amber - relieves breathing problems
Black Tourmaline - shields against negative energies
Bloodstone - promotes strong bone growth
Moonstone - aids the lymphatic system
Smoky Quartz - helps to overcome procrastination
Not worth buying. I am glad I read the library copy.
