Among other nations’ charms, there are two main kinds to be pointed out: amulets (from Lat. - Amuletum - able to protect from harm) and talismans (from the ancient Greek - telesme - bringing good luck). Due to its protecting qualities amulet could serve as a warding only if worn at the times of impending danger. Slavonic amulets could serve remotely, in the close range to its owner though. Furthermore, amulets were made by the witch-doctor or sorcerer for a certain fee, Slavonic charm, on the other hand, was self-made or gifted item.
