Almost every person, regardless of whether he is poor or rich, old or young, is given great wealth - a family. For each of us, home is the most valuable thing in life. That is why it is so important that family happiness is bright and cloudless, and that relationships between loved ones and family are harmonious.
However, maintaining peace in the home can sometimes be difficult. The family is beset by troubles and difficulties, failures and quarrels occur. How to prevent this? Our ancestors knew how to protect themselves from various misfortunes. To do this, they used amulets (amulets, talismans). These are certain things or secret artifacts that were attributed magical powers that could bring happiness to the house and protect against loss.
Types of amulets
Family amulet can be very different. The classification of these amulets is based on their ultimate purpose.
When purchasing such a talisman, it is necessary to determine its specific purpose in advance. The fact is that they are not universal, since a wide spectrum of action will not provide effective protection. There are the following types of family amulets:
- For the health of the household. In this case, the division of amulets can be continued based on whether they will protect people from future illness or are aimed at healing from an existing illness.
- Protective family relationships and love.
- From the evil eye and damage. Such amulets are capable of erecting a barrier themselves, preventing negative influences from entering the house, as well as getting rid of existing negativity.
- Attracting wealth. With the help of such amulets you can find treasure, nest eggs in the house, and also attract successful deals or a bonus at work.
- Protecting against black energy. Such amulets, in their specificity, are very similar to those intended against the evil eye and damage.
The most powerful family amulet is considered to be a solar sign or runic symbol.
Another type of classification of amulets is by their shape. In this case, a material and a verbal amulet are distinguished. The first of them include dolls and horseshoes, ornaments made on textiles, bags, etc. Prayers are verbal amulets.
Where can I get the amulet?
In order to protect the home and the entire family from enemies and troubles, accidents and evil, poverty, quarrels and illnesses, as well as attract happiness, love and wealth, you need to place a magical artifact in your home. Where can I get it? You can use one of four options:
- buy ready-made;
- receive as a gift;
- make it yourself;
- receive by inheritance.
Any of these options will be acceptable. The main thing is to protect the amulet. It should not disappear or get lost. In addition, all family members need to believe in its power and appreciate the talisman.
Let's start looking at family amulets with magical items. At first glance, these are the simplest things that can be stored in the house to protect it from troubles and misfortunes.
Why are family amulets needed?
Every family has good times and not so good times. Sometimes quarrels or problems with money arise due to the actions of spouses, and sometimes due to negative magical influences from the outside. Outsiders may envy the couple’s happiness and intentionally or unknowingly cause damage or the evil eye.
Negativity in the house occurs even without outside “help”. Each family member brings with them the remnants of dirty energy from work, the market, and public transport. She can stick very tightly. Over time, energy dirt accumulates and affects the home atmosphere. Conflicts arise over trifles, and the family begins to be haunted by a series of failures. A family amulet will protect spouses, their children and the house in which they live from negative messages and dirty energy.
Action of the amulet for the family:
- removes quarrels and conflicts;
- harmonizes relationships;
- takes over or reflects negative magical influences;
- protects against disease and poverty;
- attracts prosperity and happiness to the family.

Doll
Among the ancient Slavic amulets, this one is considered very effective and strong. Protective dolls protected from misfortune and poverty. Their presence in the house maintained understanding, love and harmony in the family.
Protective dolls are easy to make with your own hands. To do this you will need scraps of ordinary fabric, as well as braid and thread. You don’t even have to sew the doll. It is easy to make this amulet for family well-being using the knot method. That is, simply knit a doll from a scrap of fabric or from a scarf, tied with multi-colored threads, which should only be bright and in no case black. Orange, green and red colors will help to attract health and wealth, love and happiness into your home. Amulet dolls are kept in a secluded place. No one should pick them up.
Traditionally, a rag doll has no face. As a rule, it was not designated so that the amulet would be inaccessible to bad, evil forces. The dolls were very different:
- Thus, the Ten Handle was intended for girls who had recently gotten married. This amulet was given to the bride on her wedding day so that her family would get along well and so that the young housewife would have time to do everything.
- For Ivan Kupala, a Kupavka doll was made on a cross-shaped base. The girls hung ribbons on her hands as symbols of their cherished desires. Afterwards the amulets were sent to float down the river.
- The Slavs also made Strigushek dolls. These amulets, as our ancestors believed, contributed to a rich harvest. If the doll was made from straw taken from the first sheaf, then it was considered sacred.
- Residents of the southern provinces of Russia protected their homes with the help of a talisman, which they called “Day and Night.” This is a paired or two-faced doll made from fabrics of light and dark tones. In the early morning, people turned this amulet with the light side up, and in the evening - with the dark side up.
- The symbol of a strong marriage was the ritual doll Couple, or Lovebirds. She represented a female and male figure with one common hand. Such a doll was presented to newlyweds at a wedding, secured to a towel.
- For prosperity in the house, the Slavs made a Zernushka doll. It was made from a bag filled with grain. Zernushka was sometimes made by women who dreamed of having a child.

Pouch
For family well-being, the Slavs used various amulets. One of the popular amulets, which made it possible to protect the house and bring a lot of prosperity and happiness to the family, was considered a bag. Today you can buy such a magical item in a store or make it yourself. To make it you will need to use burlap or linen, wool or cotton threads.
A bag of herbs, grain or spruce branches protects happiness well in the house. Like many other amulets, such objects were a barrier to evil forces trying to penetrate the house or barn of our ancestors. Gradually, such amulets, which can be easily made with your own hands, began to serve to attract harvests, wealth and prosperity. Such a talisman is considered so strong that it is able to ward off and protect the house not only from an invisible enemy, but also from a real ill-wisher and a thief. The bags were decorated on top with pebbles and herbs, which also had their own meaning. Inside them were placed:
- a pin that protected against the evil eye;
- a coin, with the help of which financial abundance should come to the family;
- grains - for prosperity;
- pre-dried mint leaves for comfort and harmony;
- sunflower seeds, symbolizing continuation of the family.
Having put all this in a bag, it was tied with a red thread and hung in any place, but most often not far from the front door.
How to attract happiness into your life
Since ancient times, different peoples have attracted happiness into their lives with the help of sacred symbols, which were depicted on objects, embroidered on clothes, and painted on the walls of houses. Special “lucky” plants and herbs were placed in amulets, magic spells and spells were read, thus enhancing the effect of the talisman.
However, to attract happiness into your life, it is not enough to buy an amulet. It is important to saturate it with your energy, combine the energy of the talisman with your energy and direct it to achieve happiness. We will tell you about the most powerful amulets and talismans that attract happiness.
The most powerful amulets according to readers
A special symbol is a horseshoe
Amulets and their meaning for Slavic families were very different. The most powerful of them was considered a talisman, which served as a horseshoe. In ancient times, this family amulet was a decoration for almost any home. Our ancestors believed that a horseshoe brings good luck to the house and protects from all misfortunes and troubles. In addition, this amulet does not allow dark vibrations and negative energy to enter the home, maintaining a good atmosphere in it.
Today, finding a horseshoe on the road is very rare. But anyone who is lucky enough to see this item must definitely bring it into the house. They hang a horseshoe over the front door, while observing certain rules. What are they?
Before fastening the horseshoe in the place chosen for it, as a rule, above the door itself, each family member must certainly hold it in their hands. In this way, the amulet gets to know the household and gives each of them good luck and happiness.
It is worth noting that iron among all peoples was considered a metal that allows one to drive out evil spirits. Even an ordinary nail, which was driven over the door, protected against the evil eye.
In Rus', a horseshoe was an object that made it possible to scare away demons and avoid illnesses and misfortunes. That is why blacksmiths were so revered in the villages. These masters became great wizards in the eyes of people, subjugating magical metal with the help of fire. The Slavs believed that only the iron horseshoe with which the horse was already shod could become a lucky amulet.
Anti-wards: what should not be in the house
It happens that the chosen amulet does not give the desired effect. Perhaps the reason lies in improper handling of it, but it is also possible that certain factors neutralize its effect.
You shouldn’t immediately start looking for needles planted at the door by your enemies. A person could, without knowing it, create a bad atmosphere in his home, in which the positive vibrations of a magical object are absorbed:
The operation of amulets can be interfered with by:
- Broken items. Broken cups, torn slippers, cracked plates and non-working equipment take away the strength of the owners of the house and “settle” an atmosphere of poverty.
- Items that are used very rarely. They pollute the energy of the home. Any items that are used less than once a year should be thrown away. Immediately after this, a feeling of relief will appear.
- Plants. For example, dried reeds lead to the development of fatal diseases. Pansies and climbing vines also have a negative impact on health.
Family talismans can create harmony in relationships between partners, eliminate quarrels, and attract happiness and wealth. True, for this you need to take a responsible approach to their choice. In addition, it is important to find a suitable location for the magic item and activate it. Then it will have maximum effect.
Kolovrat
What does this word mean? Its meaning can be understood by breaking it into two parts. The first of these, “colo,” means “wheel” or “circle.” The second is “vrat” – “to rotate”.
The Kolovrat amulet has a meaning that is directly related to its origin. This is a symbol of a complete revolution that leads a person from worse to better. In other words, it guides him from failure to success, from poverty to wealth, from illness to health. However, the meaning of the Kolovrat amulet does not end with such a turn. This amulet is a symbol of the sun, eternal fire and light, which do not allow even the smallest particle of darkness into a person’s life.
Kolovrat is a sign of the most powerful ancient Slavic gods, namely Khors, Dazhdbog and Svarog-Svarozhich. All of them were for our ancestors the lords and guardians of heat, light and the Sun itself. That is why the Kolovrat is able to protect its owner from dark forces and free his soul from everything useless that interferes with a happy life.
Kolovrat belongs to the group of Slavic protective symbols. Moreover, there are more than a hundred variants of its image. Thus, a design with diverging four rays symbolizes the power of fire, with six - the power of the god Perun, and with eight - all the gods of the ancient Slavs.
This amulet of family happiness can be worn by both women and men, but only in different versions. They differ in the directions of the rays. Thus, the images on amulets for men are rays directed clockwise, and for women - counterclockwise.
All these amulets allow you to find life harmony, marital happiness and love. They protect against the evil eye and damage, provide patronage and protection for the forces of light, allow you to successfully resolve any problems and are an impenetrable barrier to the forces of darkness.
Birch branches
The Slavs also had another frequently used family amulet. They used birch branches. Our ancestors believed that this tree has great power and is capable of protecting the house from any evil.
Anyone who decides to place birch branches in the house will need to collect them himself. Moreover, this must be done on Trinity or Ivan Kupala. The prepared branches are hung near the front door or windows, because these are the places that serve for the penetration of a wide variety of energies into the house. The branches are stored in the house throughout the year. They should be replaced with new ones next summer.
Salt
This product is a very effective family amulet. The most common salt served as an amulet not only among the Slavs, but also among many other peoples. They all believed that she could help preserve the home.
Salt is considered capable of absorbing all the negative energy penetrating into the home, protecting from thieves and accidents, from unpleasant events and from bad people. In addition, it helps in attracting seminal happiness and harmony.
How to use this amulet? Salt can be poured into a bag or filled into bottles that are placed in the most secluded places in the house. From time to time the product needs to be changed.
How to choose a suitable mascot
You need to choose a family amulet responsibly. You shouldn't buy the first option you come across. You should listen to your intuition.
Talismans that a person really needs will attract attention themselves.
This happens on a subconscious level. You buy an amulet that you like at first sight.
When choosing a talisman for the whole family, take into account the wishes of its other members. It is best to give preference to magical items that perform several functions at once.
Broom
These objects played the role of amulets among the different peoples who inhabited our planet. But still, among the Slavs, the broom occupied a special place as a talisman. Our ancestors believed that in every home there is a brownie who protects people from any evil. This creature warned the family about impending troubles and changes, and even helped them conduct household affairs. The brownie's place was behind the stove or in another dark and warm corner, and sometimes he preferred to rest on a broom.
Our ancestors respected their protector. That is why they tried to keep the brooms clean. They replaced this item every year and did not allow it to become tattered and worn out. They made brooms by hand and decorated their houses with them both inside and outside. This is how the Slavs protected their home from evil forces and showed respect to the brownie. We never used brooms as amulets. They had only a decorative purpose.
Today no one will hang an ordinary broom on the wall. Instead, they buy small amulets, which are decorated with various stones, ribbons and flowers.
Icons
Family amulet is sometimes purchased at a church store. It can be an icon, which must be consecrated in the temple and prayed for before use. In this case, higher powers will be much more willing to help the house.
Holy images, as a rule, were depicted on wooden boards. They were painted only by specially trained artists who received blessings from the supreme clergy and observed fasts.
There were also so-called folk icons. They were created by amateur craftsmen. In such images, strict iconographic laws were not observed. The master’s personal vision occupied a large place in such works.
Today there are craftswomen who embroider icons. This type of needlework is becoming more and more in demand. Such products are used not only as personal, but also as family amulet. They are considered very effective.
Embroidering icons is quite a fascinating activity. However, before you start creating the image, you need to go to church and consult with your confessor or priest about the design that will be reflected on the fabric. The finished icon will need to be consecrated in order for it to become an effective amulet.
Spells
As mentioned above, amulets can have more than just a material form. Sometimes they are verbal. In this capacity, spells and good conspiracies are used. They represent good magic and are therefore called white. The mentioned amulets are verbal texts with the help of which mental desires acquire a material basis. In order to protect your loved ones, when reading them, you need to imagine an image in the form of a fortress or a fence. And when treating a child, it is recommended to mentally imagine a battle with a spear and sword.
The difference between verbal amulets is that they do not require a lot of time, but are quite powerful.
The classic prayer said on a weekday is “Seven Crosses.” It allows you to ward off any misfortune and protects you from all types of evil. A prayer to St. John can become a barrier to negative energy that can penetrate the house. The Lord's Prayer is recommended to all baptized people for this purpose.
The power of a word
Reliable family amulets are not only things and objects.
A special prayer, such as “Seven Crosses” or another, will be the best protector for your family and home, and will help you avoid any troubles. Since ancient times, the protective prayer “Seven Crosses” has helped people protect their home and family, and attract happiness for everyone. The prayer “Seven Crosses” is read in the morning; it is advisable to know it by heart and read it daily. So you don’t have to be afraid of anything, this is reliable protection for you and your family!
There are also conspiracies to protect children. This is a prayer for the protection of a son, and for the protection of a daughter. A mother must read them, and a mother’s prayer will become the most powerful and reliable amulet for her children.
Prayer to St. John will protect you from evil, bad people, witchcraft and corruption. This ancient conspiracy that helped our ancestors will help you too. Feel free to use it!
Nothing threatens those who are not afraid of anything and believe in the help of higher powers, as well as in their own strength. Find that amulet that will instill in you strength and fearlessness, and know that you and your family are under reliable protection! Author: Vasilina Serova
