Amulets have been used from time immemorial both as protection against trouble and as bringers of good luck and good fortune. Talismans, as they are also called, are common across all cultures and religions. For example the Chinese use coins to attract money and rice to attract good fortune, the ancient Egyptians used the religious symbol of the eye of Horus, whilst the Christian religion uses the Cross of Christ; in some afro-caribbean cultures Voodoo symbols are used. In anglo-saxon cultures the symbol of the rune is used to ward off evil and protect against thieves and the hard-to-find 4-leaved clover was preferred by the ancient celts, whilst in India bells are populary used to ward off evil spirits. In modern day we find a horseshoe nailed outside a house as a protective symbol, and what is the Christmas Wreath apart from a welcome symbol - it is also a protector against evil spirits.
So it would seem that we humans have always used objects onto which we place our trust to ward off what we fear or attract what we want.
