A Brief Introduction to Amulet Work

A Selection of Amulets

An amulet will hold as much energy as you commit to it.

Some believe that plastic is not a good material for amulet work. I do not hold that position. Plastic can be reshaped to take on any form. It is the ultimate blank slate.

By working with different materials, you can learn what materials resonate with you.

Always cleanse an amulet before using it in a spell. Cleansing can be performed with water or with an elemental ritual.

Choose the material and symbol that best suits the intent of your spell.

Where to find amulets.

Look around your house. An old toy box is sure to reveal little toys (legos, little animals). Your old jewelry box is also a possible source for charms. Your change purse (pennies). A junk drawer (old keys or other odds and ends)

Craft stores often sell packets of charms for scrapbooking and jewelry making. Jewelry supply catalogs have a wide selection of charms representing every symbol imaginable.

Virtually any type of stone can be purchased online.

You can make your own amulets from many materials. 

One option, shrink plastic. There are several varieties of shrink plastic, including printable shrink plastic. (The Batman symbol in the photo was made using shrink plastic and an inkjet printer) You can cut out the symbol you want and bake it to make an amulet in whatever size you need.

The most commonly available material for amulets is paper. Fabric is also suitable.


Amulets can be spoken words.
