Amulets in human civilization: a cross-civilizational study of socio-cultural, religious, and spiritual dimensions

By. Samsurizal

Amulets serve as cross-cultural, timeless objects of protection, identity, and spiritual power in human civilization, functioning as conduits for supernatural aid across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. They embody deep socio-cultural meanings, ranging from religious artifacts (e.g., in Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam) to personal luck charms. These items, including images of statues, coins, or symbols, are used to ward off evil and foster spiritual security. 

Key dimensions of amulets in human civilization include:

Socio-Cultural Role: Amulets function as identity markers and tools for social continuity, reinforcing cultural belief systems and communal memory across generations.

Religious and Spiritual Dimensions: Amulets are integrated into spiritual practices to mediate supernatural power, protection, and grace, often serving as devotional items within diverse faiths.

Symbolism and Function: Ranging from talismans to phylacteries, these objects, which include items such as plant or animal parts and written text, are used for protection against harm or to bring good fortune.

Global Trajectory: A comparative, interdisciplinary study, such as the one by Samsurizal (2025), explores how these objects transcend geographical and cultural boundaries, maintaining a consistent role in human history, as discussed on the Eliva Books! website.
