Talismans. Amulets. Good-luck charms. They’re all the same thing—a trinket of some kind, held in value by the person possessing it. People who carry or wear talismans do so out of a strong belief that their particular charms will bring them good luck or protect them from harm.

A talisman has no magical powers other than the belief a person places in it. Potential choices for talismans include stones or precious gems, coins, rings, plants, animals, or even certain words. Historically, objects with a religious significance have often been used in various societies, not only for good luck, but also to protect from harm and heal suffering. Jews, Christians, and Muslims have all used holy books as talismans by placing them under the bedding of a seriously ill person. Beliefs are as varied as the number of different types of charms available.

Some people living near Exeter, Ontario CANADA believe that saying “Lucky White Squirrels” three times in succession on the 1st day of the month—immediately upon waking and before saying anything else—will bring the speaker good luck. Yet other talisman users in London, Ontario CANADA substitute “Lucky Black Squirrels” in this ritual, hoping for the same good luck. Other cultures practise a variation of this, using other animals like rabbits, elephants, or even unicorns.

Some believers simply carry special coins, while others think that for the coins to be lucky you have to rub them and make a wish. To some, all these things seem too superstitious, but believers know the value of a good-luck charm. The talisman itself is not important—it is focusing one’s belief on the talisman that gives power to the person using it for luck and protection.
