This book is a collection of essays from lectures given by 12 scholars at Hidden Charms 3 conference held in Chester, UK on 2 October, 2021. As the name suggests, the essays shed light on the research on the objects and symbols that were used to protect people from supernatural harm for centuries.

The topics of the essays are absolutely fascinating for anyone who is interested in superstitions and the worldviews of the people of the past.
