Lucky charms, according to popular tradition, are objects that attract protection and help ward off negative energies. Although these items are related to ancient myths, the belief in the power of these talismans means that they are still present in many mythologies and religions around the world.
Found in the form of animals, minerals, vegetables and other symbols, as explained by the spiritualist Kélida Marques, they are all intended to protect against problems, bad intentions or diseases. However, each of them has a specific purpose.

Knowing tools to appropriate your personal power is the way to ward off envy, the other’s and our own”, explains the spiritualist.
