2004-03-29 Objects made mystic

I've been looking for a book specifically about the manufacture and uses of amulets and talismans for some time now, so was delighted when i came across this book. The detail in the book is fantastic, explaining the historical significances of talismans, amulets and lucky charms, what the differances is between them, how to make them, charge them, suitable stones/linen/gems to use...the list goes on. It also covered (to my delight) numerology, magic squares and yantras and even includes the Theban and Magi alphabets. The only critisism (and it's a tiny one) is the lack of illustrations. More would have been nice. If not for that it would have had a five star rating
