*TALISMAN MEANING 

A talisman is an object believed to hold magical powers that bring luck, protection, or some specific benefit to its owner. It can be a pendant, ring, stone, written charm, or any item charged by ritual or intention.

Key points

• Purpose: usually to attract good fortune or confer a specific effect (success, healing, protection).
• Difference from an amulet: the terms overlap, but an amulet is primarily thought to protect the wearer from harm or evil; a talisman is more often intended to bring positive outcomes or power.
• Materials and forms: gemstones, metals, carved symbols, inscribed papers, or ritual objects.
• Cultural examples: Islamic taʿwīdh (written charms), medieval European magical seals, and modern good-luck charms.
• Etymology & pronunciation: talisman (ˈtælɪz.mən) — from French/Arabic roots ultimately from Greek telesma (τέλεσμα), meaning a rite or consecration.
