Body Guards: Protective Amulets & Charms ~ Desmond Morris
In this beautifully photographed volume, Desmond Morris, the best-selling author of The Naked Ape and 29 other books, presents a fascinating survey and analysis of over 100 of these "body guards." We're all familiar with some of them the rabbit's foot, the four-leaf clover, and the wishbone. Here you'll be introduced to other amulets and charms in the form of animals, rocks, plants, religious objects, body parts, and objects to protect the home. Among these fascinating pieces are the Beckoning Cat from Japan, who protects businesses; Ganesha, the lucky elephant in Hinduism who removes obstacles; the amethyst, also known as the stone of love, that protects against drunkenness; and the Native American dreamcatcher that traps unpleasant experiences.
