okay so, the way I define them, charms are basically enchanted objects that gain personal significance/resonance by being worn next to the skin
they can do any number of things and take any number of forms. popular ones are jewelry, sachets, clothing items
In terms of effects, see above re: any number. Traditional amulets did things like provide good luck or protection to the bearer. I do love those, and I recommend them in general, but I've also created charms with other effects. Invisibility, emotional centering, energy, that kind of thing
i was thinking jewelry but satchets sound cool- those are little bags of herbs or stuff right?
I was thinking protection but how do the other ones work? like if it was something for energy? do you think its possible to do something with two pieces that are connected? or I dunno you said you had examples right?
and ✔️ you can combine effects but normally the effects have to be pretty congruent
✔️ I do have some examples, hang on
