THE POWER OF AMULETS & CHARMS

What do you think of when  you hear the word amulet or charm?  Do you automatically think of good luck or magic ? Well if you said that it is  sort of true. You might even use  or have one. 

Okay  this might be a little too much but I also do  use amulets in my work in  progress  DURING THE BLUE HOUR.  The amulets that I wrote about   within my novel  is called a  raven claw  amulet and it works in  the same way as a real world amulets .  But what  are  amulets and charms really?

Let’s explore the answer to this question with 

REAL WORLD  RESEARCH

Did you  know  the phrase  “God Bless you ” when someone sneezes is a  magical word and charm.  I didn’t either.   Words are perhaps the most potent form of the amulet. Incantations, metrical and nonsensical words and sounds as well as written spells or “charms” were very common in the past.

Amulet  are anything worn  on  the  neck , wrist or something that is attached  to a person.  It can  also be a written or drawn symbol.

Amulets  and charms are  said to be worn by  both woman,  men and children  of  every  culture around the  world  since the  dawning of time.   It   was also said that amulets  were  specially  made to  protect the  wearer  from  evil  and negative  energy .  Usually the amulet  that is worn is spelled or blessed  by  a  magician, priest  or holy person  such  as a shaman .

Charms are much of  the same as  amulets  except  it is also   used as  good luck. 

IN THE WIP NOVEL

The raven claw amulet is a celestial object that is  protected  by the earth divers to give to the main  character  Sirena .

HISTORY

No one is sure who created the ravens claw. But it was created at the beginning of the first world to  defeat evil entities. Six raven claw  amulets are later given to the earth divers at the beginning of the second world  to  protect until they find the shaman who can use it to stop  Accalia the Kraldire. Only a shaman   can wield and   use  the amulet.

DURING THE BLUE HOUR WIP NOVEL

One of the raven claws are seen hanging in Zios  and  Nadiya’s  house.

The raven claw amulet that is seen and mentioned in my work in progress  was given to Zios  by Chemsen the  earth diver before the beginning of the story  in my  short   story   The Hour of Humanity .
