“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on all their wrists and make veils of various lengths for their heads in order to ensnare people. God issued a stern warning to the false prophetesses of Israel who wore amulets. The Bible further warns us, “In that day, the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments, dangling earrings, bracelets, veils, headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes amulets” (Isaiah 3:18-20, NAS).ĭuring times of apostasy and idolatry, the Israelites copied the superstitions of the pagan people around them, including the practice of wearing amulets and magic charms.

What does God say about people who use amulets? “They are full of superstitions from the East they practice divination like the Philistines and clasp hands with pagans” (Isaiah 2:6, NIV). From archaeological evidence, we know that amulets were very common in the ancient cultures of the Bible lands, especially among pagan peoples. They are often regarded as transmitters of healing energies and positive vibrations that are thought to promote feelings of peace and tranquility. These so-called “sacred stones” and other engraved talisman are believed to have mystical powers, which supposedly bring personal protection, success, and prosperity.
They are usually crystals, Celtic crosses, or other mystical jewelry worn as a pendant on a necklace or bracelet or hung on a chain dangling from the rear view mirror of automobiles. Together with other kinds of talismans, amulets are becoming very popular today.
