TALISMANS, AMULETS, AND CHARMS noko 2016-11-04 02:29:31 Post No. 18299472 [Report]

Hey, Im trying to compile some info and pictures about different types of talismans, amulets, charms, and similar items that give the wearer protection or power or whatever. Im mostly interested in old folklore items and the like but Im looking for everything.

ALSO: I have heard of boots with nails in the shape of crosses in the soles/heels but I have neer been able to find any info on this. Is that a thing? Does anyone have any more info? I think there was something about that in the book Huck Finn but I cant remember and google has done nothing for me.

Thanks in advance! Ill start off by posting some of the info I already have.

The boot and nail thing is loosely tied to the idea of Seven League Boots. My most recent reference for boot cross nails is the movie Mud. The main character believes in a number of magic practices

Anyone ever seen a piece with this symbol on it? I'm trying to track down a set including a pendant, a necklace, and a pin, all of which are built around this symbol.
It's for a research thing, but the people I've gotten the first few from seem like /x/ kinda people, so I thought I'd ask.
