Question by Nimueh:
What is the history and origin of the amulet?
(As in: "Amulet-- a close cousin of the talisman; consists of any object intended to bring good luck and/or protection to its owner.") Amulets have been mentioned in many books I've read in the past and I'm curious about the history behind them and how they came to be. Any insight is appreciated!
Thank you :) I was wondering when objects used for protection began to actually be referred to as "amulets" and when the term "amulet" was coined, though.

The wearing of various items on your person designed to protect you has been around since pre-civilization.
