Talisman

A talisman is any object used to for warding or for drawing good forces to itself. There is often ritual and dweomer involved in its enchantment and continued maintenance of power. They tend to be larger than what can be worn on the body and are carried or attached to buildings or transportation. When the enchanted object is small enough to be worn, the term talisman can be used interchangeably with amulet.
Talismans can be made of cloth, parchment, metal (especially cold iron), bone, leather, fur (and other animal parts), gems, lumps of glass and are often affixed to the eaves of buildings or hung in trees.
