An amulet is an object believed to confer protection upon its possessor. It is also referred to as a good luck charm. The word “amulet” is derived from the Latin word “amuletum.” Anything can function as an amulet; gems, drawings, plant or animal parts, statues, or written words.
The ancient Egyptian gods were drawn on amulets. When a person died, they were buried with amulets with special spells written on them. The Egyptians believed that the charm in the amulet would guide the individual in the afterlife.
