Make your own Amulet Kit
Amulets are a folk magic practice that has existed across cultures and faiths, despite forces of colonization attempting to stamp them out.
Ashkenazi and Ladino Jewitch culture has an extensive history of folk magical or womens’ ways, traditions with a small “t” within Yiddish culture. A typical protective amulet, or beytele/bulsika in Yiddish/Ladino, was a small pouch that contained protective plants, red string, flowers, and sometimes an iron nail.
In Middle-eastern and SWANA cultures, we see more symbolic amulets to ward and protect like the hamsa or evil eye charm, but we also see a pouch -like amulet know as a ta’wiz in Arabic.
