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
Akua'ba — Amulet Atlas A small wooden figure with a large flat disc for a head, a ringed neck and a short body, usually with arms out to the sides. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/amulet/akuaba-figure/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 31K
Blessing at a shrine — Amulet Atlas Taking an object to where the power is, rather than bringing the power to the object. The move has two directions and this record keeps them apart. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/practice/blessing-at-a-shrine/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 44K

Pazuzu head — Amulet Atlas A head, cast or carved, with a hole or a loop through the top for a cord. The face is the point: gazelle horns, human ears, a dog's muzzle, bulging eyes, wrinkled cheeks. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/amulet/pazuzu-head/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 35K
Burning at retirement — Amulet Atlas Ending a charm in fire, on purpose and in public. Old talismans go back to the place that issued them and are burnt together at a set ceremony; wish-plaques are burnt to release the wish; worn prayer flags are burnt… nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/practice/burning-retirement/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 37K
