Horseshoe — Amulet Atlas A U of iron, drilled with nail holes, that spent its first life nailed to a hoof. As a charm it is the used one: worn thin at the toe, still carrying nail stubs, fixed over a doorway. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/amulet/horseshoe/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 39K
Hair — Amulet Atlas Hair cut from a named person and put inside something else. It is almost never the charm on its own. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/material/hair/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 33K
Sewing in — Amulet Atlas Putting the charm inside the cloth rather than on a cord. A pouch is stitched shut over what it holds; coins and hair are sewn into a belt; a charm is quilted into a bedcover; a shirt is itself the charm, worn under… nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/practice/sewing-in/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 38K
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
mojo — Amulet Atlas In Hoodoo, the African American spiritual tradition, mojo is both the conjure work and the bag that holds it — Wikipedia's article calls a mojo bag a prayer in a bag, a spell that can be carried on the body. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/word/mojo-word/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 31K
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
Feeding the charm — Amulet Atlas Giving the object something to consume. Liquor poured on a cloth bag, a lit cigarette in a plaster figure's mouth, rice and salt and water set out in front of a paper talisman, a nail driven into a carved figure… nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/practice/feeding-the-charm/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 37K
The fake market — Amulet Atlas Buyers at an amulet stall arrive with jeweller's loupes. They are not checking whether the clay is old — the clay is usually old enough. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/story/the-fake-market/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 42K
abracadabra — Amulet Atlas A word that was an object. Written out as a shrinking triangle on a piece of parchment and hung at the neck, it was a prescription — the earliest surviving instruction for it is a doctor's, for fever. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/word/abracadabra/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 31K
Jet — Amulet Atlas Fossil wood. Jet is lignite, the lowest rank of coal, formed from wood under pressure — commonly from trees of the family Araucariaceae — and it is a mineraloid, not a mineral. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/material/jet/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 33K
