The Symbolism and Practices of Protective Charms
Protective charms are infused with European influences and are meant to be temporary gifts that one carries with them. The imagery on the charms can vary, such as crucifixes and lasagnas, which may be seen as sacrilegious but align with Catholic faith. These charms symbolize faith and are meant to be washed in the rain. They are to be removed during certain activities, such as engaging in sex, as it represents a flip side of death.
