A talisman is a magically empowered item that attracts specific energies or forces to the person wearing or carrying it.
An amulet is a magically empowered item that deflects specific energies or forces from the person wearing or carrying it.
In European Witchcraft traditions, talismans are human-made items (while amulets were natural). In these traditions, amulets protected and talismans projected.
Sometimes an athame is used to consecrate, charge, or empower an talisman.
