Amulets of Gods and Goddesses, Ancient Egyptian Art
An amulet is anything worn or carried by a person for protection or good luck.
There were several Ancient Egyptian words for amulets, most notably 'Sa' and 'Wedjau', which were associated with protection, well-being, and prosperity.
In ancient Egypt, amulets were often small figures of the gods featuring the most well-liked deities. Often, they were inlaid in other types of jewelry
or hung on a thread around the neck. Favorites included Amun, Isis, Hathor, Bes, Min, Taweret, and other Gods and Goddesses.
Newborns were adorned with amulets to keep them safe and healthy, and parents placed amulets around their children's necks to ward off evil spirits
and protect them from scorpions, snakes, and crocodiles.
Amulets were thought to possess a variety of abilities. Some amulets have divine power and served only as protection. For example, Bastet, the cat Goddess, would defend you if you wore a little cat charm around your neck. An amulet of the lion-headed Goddess Sekhmet would make you bold, a bull amulet of the God Apis would give you strength, and an amulet of Thoth would aid you in gaining wisdom.
