of stone, metal, wood, parchment and so on inscribed with magical
signs, characters or drawings. Once endowed with magical properties, the
object is believed to bring the owner good luck, success, health and
virility.

can derive from nature, directly from God, or from a magical ritual, such
as those described in the grimoires, textbooks of
ceremonial magic.
