New Orleans Voodoo Charms & Amulets
We love our New Orleans Voodoo Charms and hope you do, too! Our triple-consecrated Vodou Spirit charms are made by hand, in-house, by Voodoo Priestess Sister Bridget Corfield. Each charm is designed and handcrafted personally by Sister Bridget using a variety of quality materials including stones, glass beads, bone beads, crystals, Czech glass, and more.
She consecrates each charm to its particular purpose and lwa (Vodou spirit). Mambo Sam and Parran Matt then consecrate the charm as well before sending it out to you. Because each charm is individually made, it may vary slightly from the photograph.

Charms and Amulets Throughout History
Charms, amulets, and talismans may be one of the oldest forms of magickal items used by human beings! There is a rich history of amazing findings of charms, amulets, and talismans in grave sites and other historical locations. Many of these discoveries go back thousands of years!
In ancient Egypt, charms were often made in the form of amulets, which were believed to hold protective powers. These amulets were commonly placed on mummies to ensure safe passage to the afterlife. The ankh, a symbol of life, and the scarab beetle, representing rebirth, are examples of such amulets.
The Greeks and Romans also used charms extensively. The Greeks often wore talismans inscribed with magical symbols or words to protect against evil spirits and illnesses. Romans used phallic charms called fascinum to ward off the evil eye and bring good fortune.
Medieval Europe
During the medieval period, the use of charms and talismans became widespread in Europe. These items were often imbued with Christian symbolism and prayers. For instance, knights would carry crosses or relics into battle for protection. The belief in the power of these objects was deeply rooted in the medieval mindset, intertwining faith with folklore.
Medieval grimoires, or books of magic, often contained instructions for creating charms. These texts, such as the "Key of Solomon," outlined rituals and materials needed to imbue objects with magical properties.
Indigenous Cultures
Indigenous cultures around the world have their own rich traditions involving charms. Native American tribes used objects like feathers, bones, and stones as charms to connect with spiritual forces and provide protection. Similarly, in African traditional religions, charms and amulets known as gris-gris are used for protection and to bring luck.
Modern Times
In contemporary society, the use of magickal charms continues, often blending ancient practices with new age beliefs. People might carry crystals, wear symbolic jewelry, or create personalized charms to attract love, prosperity, or protection. The rise of interest in the occult and alternative spirituality has kept the tradition of magickal charms alive, adapting to modern contexts while retaining their historical roots.
Today, charms are not only personal talismans but also popular fashion accessories, blending the mystical with the mainstream. They serve as a reminder of humanity’s enduring fascination with the mystical and the desire to harness unseen forces for personal benefit.
