Agnus Dei — Amulet Atlas A disc of wax, round or oval, with a lamb pressed into one face. The lamb carries a cross or a flag; the reverse usually takes a saint, or the name and arms of the reigning pope. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/amulet/agnus-dei/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 36K
Amulet or talisman? — Amulet Atlas Two words, one tray of objects, and no agreement about which word goes on which object. Some writers cut the pair by direction — an amulet turns harm away, a talisman pulls fortune in. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/story/amulet-or-talisman/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 42K
The horn — Amulet Atlas A single twisted horn, tapering to a point, hung at a neck or a rear-view mirror. Gold, silver, plastic, bone, terracotta, or the red coral that is the version Naples is known for. A few centimetres long. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/sign/horn/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 35K
The mirror — Amulet Atlas A disc of polished metal, worn or hung so it faces outward. Two well-documented kinds: the Chinese bagua mirror, octagonal or circular, with the eight trigrams ringed around a flat, convex or concave glass, fixed above… nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/sign/mirror-sign/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 34K
The word that reads both ways — Amulet Atlas Writing arranged so its shape is part of the instruction. Two forms carry most of it. ABRACADABRA is written as a triangle, a letter dropped from each line, worn on parchment at the neck. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/sign/palindrome-word/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 39K
Hanging at the door — Amulet Atlas Putting the charm on the way in. A parchment case screwed to a doorpost, a horseshoe nailed above a door, a woven cross in the rafters, a painted star on a barn, a paper talisman pasted at an entrance. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/practice/hanging-at-door/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 43K
Lead — Amulet Atlas A soft grey metal, cheap, heavy, and soft enough to scratch with a stylus and then fold in the hand. It is also poisonous, which is the whole of its modern story. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/material/lead/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 35K
Folding — Amulet Atlas The step after the writing: the sheet is rolled into a tube, folded into a packet, or creased into a shape, and then cased, sewn or sealed. From that point the text is inside and nobody reads it. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/practice/folding/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 36K
The votive wall — Amulet Atlas A surface at a shrine covered edge to edge in small identical-format objects left by strangers: hammered metal plaques the size of a playing card, wooden tablets on hooks, crutches wired to a grille. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/art/votive-wall/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 29K
Ta'wiz — Amulet Atlas Writing, folded up and worn. A ta'wiz can be a paper packet in a black pouch, a scroll in a tubular pendant case, letters carved into metal, or a framed dua on a wall. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/amulet/taweez/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 40K
