Horseshoe
This is an ancient Slavic amulet. Its appearance is associated with people’s attitude towards the horse, the main breadwinner and worker. Only wealthy peasants could afford a horse, so the horse is also a symbol of wealth.
There is a legend about the appearance of the horseshoe amulet. One day the devil appeared to the blacksmith in the guise of a horse and began to tempt him. But the blacksmith realized the insidious plan and began to shoe the devil and did it so roughly that the devil begged for mercy. The devil, in exchange for freedom, promised not to enter those houses where a horseshoe hung on the gate. And so it happened - people hang a horseshoe to protect themselves from evil spirits.
The meaning of the amulet depends on the location.
- Ends down. This is how it is customary to nail it outside the house to protect against negativity. The horseshoe on the gate surprises people and they can no longer bring evil. It is believed that its ends resemble a pitchfork without one tine and prick the sorcerer’s eye.
- Ends up. It resembles a cup and accumulates goodness, love, happiness, and prosperity. The head of the family nails her down using one nail. It is believed that if he can firmly nail the horseshoe, then he will be able to run the farm.
Nowadays there are tips on how to make a horseshoe with your own hands. But better than an old rusty horseshoe found on the road. Metal neutralizes negativity, and rust attracts disease.
Rules for making amulets
Rules for making amulets at home:
- All actions are performed alone.
- They approach activities with inspiration, putting their soul into it.
- It is better to create an amulet at midnight, in the moonlight or on a clear, sunny day.
- When making a talisman for yourself, you need to read your favorite prayer. If the talisman is made for someone else, during the work process you should think about this person, wishing him well-being and happiness.
Concept and types
An artifact is any item that is created by a person and charged with witchcraft power. It could be herbs, roots, animal parts, metal, stones, wood, an archaeological find or a simple thing. The difference between such an amulet is expressed in its strength.
The following types of artifacts are distinguished by function:
- energetic restores mental well-being;
- healing cures diseases;
- spontaneous accumulates natural energy;
- the mental controls the emotional-sensory sphere, memories;
- magical conducts rituals;
- a protective magical artifact protects a person;
- combined implies several goals.
The talisman serves one owner or members of one family. Therefore, a found or stolen someone else’s amulet will harm the individual in real life. This manifests itself in a violation of the structures of the harmonious flow of the aura of the individual and his home. A person gets sick, faces misfortunes, financial difficulties.
What types of amulets are there?
Depending on the type of origin, amulets are:
- Natural (for example, from birch bark, grass, wood). These are minerals, plants and other things created by nature. They are filled with all the energy and power that exists in the world.
- Artificial (made of fur). These amulets are made by people; various symbols and signs are applied to them. They are able to protect a person throughout his life.
- Enchanted. These amulets can be presented as a gift by a loved one, but not always with good intentions.
- Alive. This is the name given to family heirlooms that are passed down from century to century. Living amulets carry the energy of the family, so they are handled with care.
Magic amulets made of birch bark
Features of magical amulets made of birch bark:
- They can be in the form of scorched magical symbols (letters). The first signs were called "reza", which in Slavic language meant "runes".
- Sometimes figures are cut out of this material, which participate in the composition of the future talisman.
- The material is suitable from a living tree or from a felled one.
The first amulets from birch bark were made for children - sharkunok (rattle). When it shakes, it makes sounds that, according to legend, scare away evil spirits.
Sharkunok made of birch bark

Making a sharkunk is demonstrated step by step on Anna Mikeshina’s channel.
Fur talismans
Fur talismans have been used by shamans since ancient times. They wore animal skins to ward off evil forces and perform rituals.
Today, fur is used more often to create a simple amulet - “Brownie”. The amulet is stored in the house and in the car; it does not take up space and does not attract undue attention.
Manufacturing process:

- Buy or invent eyes and nose for the brownie.
- Make a talisman for your arms and legs from the same material.
- The paws are glued with glue or sewn on.
- You should make a rope if you want to hang the brownie on a hook.

Protective bracelet made of threads
A common Slavic amulet made from natural materials is a magic bracelet, which should be worn without taking it off. You can make a talisman for yourself or your loved ones. When creating jewelry, be in a positive mood and imagine how your life is changing for the better.
When making a talisman from threads, it is important to choose the right color scheme. The color of an item can either increase its magical abilities or significantly weaken them.
Meaning of colors
- A red bracelet will protect you from evil thoughts and bad intentions. Having such a decoration on your hand, you can be sure of reliable protection. The fiery color will make you more determined, purposeful and courageous. The red threads of the amulet will increase your attractiveness in the eyes of the opposite sex.
- An amulet made of white threads will help its owner restore lost harmony. Luck will be on your side. Any conflicts will disappear by themselves, and relationships with people around you will begin to develop easily and comfortably. A white bracelet will reliably protect you from the evil eye and bad thoughts.
- Blue color is a sign of creative nature. A bracelet made from threads of this shade will help you gain inner freedom, giving you the opportunity to realize your potential in your chosen profession. A person wearing a white protective talisman will not know what a personal crisis is; calmness and peace reign in his soul.
- Yellow shades are suitable for people who seek to restore family relationships. The bracelet will help restore harmony and joy of communication between family members, eliminate conflicts, and attract prosperity to the home. Yellow threads are ideal for making children's magic talismans. The child will receive reliable protection from malicious intent and ill-wishers.
Weaving
You can make either a single-color or multi-colored protective bracelet. If you prefer a single shade, simply twist the threads into a rope and tie them in the form of a bracelet. Make at least 7 knots. Say out loud all the desires that you would like to make come true.
If you want a bracelet of several colors, braid the threads. Try to combine shades that are similar in meaning. If you made the jewelry for yourself, attach it to your wrist yourself. It is forbidden for someone else to touch the protective amulet. You can tie it yourself only to a loved one.
Protective amulets
Do-it-yourself protective amulets are made from:
- red thread;
- pins;
- coins;
- key;
- rings;
- salt.
Red thread amulet
The amulet made from natural red threads is not afraid of moisture and does not require special care. The talisman can be worn by all people, no matter what faith they belong to.
Detailed instructions:
- It is best to choose wool thread from Jerusalem.
- Measure your wrist and cut the yarn to the desired length.
- Tie it on your left hand with one knot or ask a loved one to do it.
- After a week, tie 6 more knots so that the total number becomes 7.
It is advisable not to hang foreign objects on the red thread amulet.
Pin
The pin is used by people whose lives have changed dramatically and are filled with problems. The amulet is designed to protect a person from negativity and envy.
First you need to pick up a new pin and concentrate on it, after which you need to say the words:
Take the bad, drive away. The evil eye and damage go away, a pin can help with this.
You should pin the amulet under your clothes with the ear facing up and read the plot again:
Pin, save me from damage and the evil eye. Let all the infection go away at once.
Coin
The coin will improve your financial situation and save you from ruin. The amulet is used both in the home and in the office.
Possible uses:
- bury it in a pot with a plant, for example, a crassula;
- carry with you in your wallet;
- sew a pouch for a coin and place precious stones or herbs inside.
Ring
Rings are strong protective magical talismans, wearing which on a certain finger will help:
- make its owner immune to negative external influences;
- achieve the desired heights in life;
- bring your plans to life.
In some families, rings are inherited and absorb the strength of each member. A family heirloom can bring good luck and protects the owner better than other talismans.
If the previous owner died or suffered a misfortune, the ring should be cleaned and frozen for at least a day.
You can start the tradition of passing a ring from generation to generation at any time. All you have to do is buy a new piece of jewelry and speak to it.
The magic words are:
With the power of all that exists, I conjure you to accumulate strength in the name of goodness and good intentions.
Now you need to charge this ring with energy:
- Take a glass of spring water.
- Add a pinch of salt to it.
- Place the ring in this container overnight for 7 days.
Salt bag
A bag of salt is useful not only for cleaning all amulets - it itself can protect against bad luck and curses.
Procedure for creating a salt bag:
- Sew a small bag from natural fabrics.
- Pour salt into it, for example sea salt.
- Tie tightly so that grains do not spill out.
Such a talisman also needs activation, for which the following words are said:
Salt for happiness, salt for troubles.
You need to make a new talisman if even a grain has fallen out of the old one. This is a bad sign: you should throw a pinch over your left shoulder to avoid trouble.
Key
To create a talisman you need a new decorative key that does not open anything. It is chosen to be small and discreet so that you can always carry it with you. The item must become personal - the key cannot be shown or handed over.
When leaving home, it is important not to forget to say:
Preserving my house, driving away evil and troubles.
DIY amulets - making, choosing, using
It is easy to guess that homemade amulets are considered more effective than those that were purchased.
You can make an amulet not only for yourself, but also as a gift to a relative or loved one. Remember that you should only accept such gifts from those people whose good intentions you do not doubt. This is a simple precaution, because a thing made by a person who does not wish well with all his heart can cause harm. Money amulets are an exception; they are not given as gifts, because your well-being will go with them. Mascot
Before you make an amulet with your own hands, you should decide on the task that it should cope with. If you are wary of the evil eye or have enemies who may turn to black magic to cause harm, choose strong protective amulets. In cases where you need to improve your financial situation, you can make a money talisman. There are love charms and talismans for good luck, if we consider them in a general sense.
You shouldn't demand too much from the amulet. Decide what you want to get most. Perhaps it is luck in love, increased attractiveness, family happiness, or maybe you need a little luck at work. The choice is yours.
After you understand what you want to get, you can start thinking about what the amulet will be. First of all, he must be liked and not cause internal contradictions. Therefore, believers most often choose Orthodox symbols. The symbolism and meaning of the amulet should not contradict religion. You need to be “friends” with him, and you can find out how to build friendship with someone who doesn’t make the most pleasant impression in this article.
There are many ready-made options that can be worn as a pendant or bracelet. Some of them are quite expensive because they must be made of gold or silver, and in order to protect yourself from the evil eye, a natural red thread may be enough. If you need not only a personal talisman, but also a decoration, you can choose a symbol, and then purchase a decoration with it or make it yourself from beads or other accessories. On our website you can find many descriptions of talismans and their meanings.
The situation with amulets for the home is approximately the same. In Feng Shui, correctly selected objects serve as amulets and, according to experts in this field, can significantly change life for the better. Feng Shui amulets require careful study; you can find information on our website. But amulets and charms made with your own hands, as mentioned above, are considered better than purchased ones. If this interests you, decide on a goal and make an item that will protect your family, increase benefits and fill your home with positive energy.
Do not forget to thank the amulet for what it does for you, charge it with energy from time to time, and do not give it to strangers.
Below you can find several ways to make both personal and home amulets and talismans with your own hands. These are simple options that don't require expensive or rare ingredients, and you can find almost everything in your home or local market.

DIY protective amulet
The simplest amulet is a safety pin. On our website you can find pin spells that are needed not only for protection, but also for other purposes. An eye of God or a dream catcher will work well for your home as a DIY protective amulet. The first serves to protect in reality, and the second will protect you from danger in dreams and nightmares.
A red thread on the wrist is another option for protection. You should learn about how to properly make such a talisman from a separate article on our website. Any other red bracelet, made by hand using any technique you know, will also work. You can weave cute protective symbols into it, for example, the Eye of Fatima.
When weaving a talisman, it is important to think about what you want from it. Concentration is needed, and after creating the amulet, you can speak and charge it with your energy, mentally imagining its flows entering it. This is what they do with stones that astrologers recommend or that they intuitively felt “their stone” and decided to make it their amulet.
Any figurine that you have at home can be used as a home protective tool. Charge it with positive energy and ask in your own words what you want to achieve from the protective amulet. Visualization is also important. For example, if this is a soldier with a weapon, imagine how he drives away enemies with shots or a sword.
In the old days, wood-burning stoves were a symbol of the hearth and were endowed with protective properties that could protect the family from harm. Therefore, housewives turned to her for similar purposes. Of course, now it’s difficult to find a house with a real Russian stove, but a gas stove can also be suitable. It is behind this that the next talisman is placed to protect the home and family.
They make it from their own strand of hair, which must be cut off, wrapped in clean paper or cloth so that it does not fall out, and said three times:
As long as a strand of hair is kept behind the stove and no one finds it, loved ones will be reliably protected from damage, the evil eye and other troubles.
A home amulet can be made from almost any thing that is available. But it can no longer be used for its intended purpose. For example, this applies to a talisman made from a broom. Make a cross from new needles, tying them with blue thread. The cross should be placed inside the broom handle with the following words:
The talisman broom should be kept near the front door. He will cope with any negativity and intrigues of ill-wishers.
How to clean and charge the amulet?
To clean the amulet you need:
- Take sea salt.
- Place the amulet in a container.
- Cover it completely with salt.
- After 1-2 hours, remove the item.
- Repeat the procedure once for three days.
To charge the talisman with positive energy you will need:
- earth or clay;
- water;
- fire;
- wind.
Algorithm of actions:
- Spray the amulet with spring water three times.
- Sprinkle it with soil.
- Blow on the amulet three times.
- Light a white candle and draw 3 circles around the object.
The finished product is placed under the pillow at night to charge it with energy.
Making an artifact of good luck at home
Anyone uninitiated can make chalk to fulfill a wish. Tibetan monks knew about his magical actions. The cooking recipe was described in the notes of the famous writer R. Kipling when he was on a military expedition. They say that great commanders resorted to this ritual in their time: A. Macedonian, Hitler, Genghis Khan...
How to make the Chalk of Fate artifact:
- The chalk piece is ground into powder.
- The resulting mixture is sifted.
- Blood is added from the middle finger of the left hand.
- Three pinches of dried edelweiss flowers are also crushed there.
- A tuft of primate hair is burned and the dust is added to the total mass.
- The goat tooth is ground into powder and also poured into the mixture.
- Fill with a cup of melt water and mix thoroughly.
Medical plaster is added to the batter and poured into a cardboard tube. After three days, the artifact dries and is ready for use. It fulfills the wishes of the one whose blood is added to the composition. Instructions for use for this amulet require writing a clearly formulated dream on a black wooden base. Until the wish is fulfilled, the inscription cannot be erased.
Making a talisman requires mastery of certain features. Creating herbal charms requires a healer's knowledge of plant gathering. What is important here is the time of collection, the tool, its material and the method of cutting the stems. A beginner can create an artifact from stone or wood, but the magical effect will not last long. A metal amulet distorts the energy effect. Animal parts carry necrotic energy. Therefore, we need to take this issue seriously.
