    Talismans & Amulets

    Collections

    Talismans, amulets and talismanic objects from ancient and modern cultures, all over the world.

    All art that is not mere storytelling, or mere portraiture, is symbolic, and has the purpose of those symbolic talismans which medieval magicians made with complex colours and forms, and bade their patients ponder over daily, and guard with holy secrecy; for it entangles, in complex colours and forms, a part of the Divine Essence.

    - William Butler Yeats
