Tap Into The Power Of The Egyptian Gods
The Egyptians believed in the preventative power of magic and created charms and amulets to keep them safe.
They incorporated symbols associated with the gods, and inscribed them with hieroglyphs, using sacred stones to bump up the power quota, and often wearing them as jewellery.
Tap into the power of the gods by using the stones connected with them. Choose one that suits your needs and either wear it as jewellery, or keep it in a velvet pouch. Write your desire on a piece of paper in red ink and then add it to a charm bag.
