Amulets: Sacred Charms of Power and Protection (Paperback)
All over the world and throughout history amulets have offered protection against negative forces, whether witchcraft, the evil eye, enemies, sickness, or accidents. Intricately beautiful or starkly simple, they come in an astonishing variety of guises: from stones, shells, and seeds, through animal tails, teeth, and claws, to beads, mirrors, needles, and bells.
With over 400 lavish color photographs, this book explores amulets from every angle, including their symbolism and the diverse material used to craft them as well as the people and objects they protect. Sheila Paine traveled all over the world--from Afghanistan, Russia, and Albania, to Cameroon, Tunisia, and Mexico--to research the form, properties, and use of amulets, whether for health and safety or as channels for spiritual or magical powers. Worn as necklaces, sewn to clothing, painted on buildings, or hung in vehicles, amulets guard babies and brides; warriors, hunters, and travelers; livestock, crops, and homes through magical, not physical, means. Malign spirits and hobgoblins at crossroads have been feared since ancient times, but modern dangers--car crashes, new diseases, even cell phones--have ensured an abiding faith in the magical protection that amulets afford us that is still widely evident today.

The writing style was also lacking creativity and failed to engage me as a reader. Overall, it felt like a rushed and poorly developed story. I was expecting a more magical and exciting experience, but unfortunately, this book fell flat for me.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars
I couldn't even finish "Magic soccer tryouts 123". The concept of combining magic and soccer sounded interesting, but the execution was terrible. The story was poorly paced and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The characters lacked depth and I couldn't connect with any of them. It felt like the author was trying too hard to create an exciting and unique storyline, but it just ended up being confusing and unenjoyable.
3. Amanda - 2/5 stars
I had high hopes for "Magic soccer tryouts 123" but it failed to deliver. The plot was confusing and I struggled to understand the magical elements as they weren't well explained. The characters felt flat and I couldn't root for any of them. The writing style was also unremarkable, lacking any descriptive language that would have made the story come to life. Overall, it was a forgettable read that didn't live up to its potential.
4. Michael - 2/5 stars
"Magic soccer tryouts 123" was a disappointment. The storytelling lacked depth and the pacing was all over the place. The transitions between scenes were abrupt and disjointed, making it difficult to follow the plot. The magical elements felt forced and out of place within the context of a soccer story. The characters were also underdeveloped and their motivations were unclear. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-crafted and engaging story.
