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
Red coral — Amulet Atlas The hard red skeleton of a colonial marine animal, cut and polished like a stone. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/material/coral/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 33K
Car saint — Amulet Atlas A stamped metal medal clipped to a sun visor or glued to a dashboard, or a miniature statue standing on it, showing a giant wading a river with a child on his shoulder. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/amulet/car-saint/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 35K
Fascinum — Amulet Atlas A phallus, worn. Usually cast in bronze, often winged, pierced or looped for a cord; also cut as finger rings, carved in relief on walls, made into lamps and into wind chimes called tintinnabula. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/amulet/fascinum/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 36K
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
The spiral — Amulet Atlas A line that winds in on itself. It is cut into stone, painted on pottery, blazoned on a shield, and — once, and importantly — used as the direction in which to write, so that the words themselves coil inward. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/sign/spiral/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 34K
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
The charm in the wall — Amulet Atlas A whole class of amulet was never meant to be seen again. It goes up a chimney, under a floor, above a ceiling, into a roof void, beside a door frame, or into a pit cut before the first course of brick. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/story/the-charm-in-the-wall/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 40K
