Do you believe in amulet or talisman ("agimat" or "anting-anting")?

They'd said Pacman had an amulet that is why he is invincible, well if someone is a hardcore fan of Ramon Revilla Sr. then they might believe but I don't.

i don't believe in talisman or amulet neither lucky. I just depend my life to God. He knows everything. Why should i depend my life to those stuff in the first place my God given me life so why i depend it in man made?

I do not really believe in agimat or anting-anting... especially when they can be bought in public places... if they are true... then a lot of people can be considered as invincible... but i believe in the good luck some amulets bring... especially when they are given as gifts... When there is no money involve... the more luck amulets and talismans can bring to a person... so i would rather just wait to be given one... rather than me buying one in the store or at Quiapo...

I don't know if it is true. I only watched of some of those in television. The man strike the other man with a sword and it has no effect, no blood. I don't know if I will believe. I also went to Quiapo when we had a documentary film. I saw a lot of amulets there and "mga pangontra". Like the baby alligator's bones a teeth of snake etc. The lady told us that it is a luck and others are "pangontra" to the bad spirits, aswang , maligno and even enemies.

I don't believe much in lucky charms, amulets or talismans anymore. I'm trying to grow out of the the belief in it. I was fond of collecting talismans and lucky coins before but I found out these are more like mere ornaments after all.

well, i do when i was a kid. LOL back in those days where RAMON REVILLA is known for agimat LOL also with Darna. i really believed in them. gosh...now that makes me feel like i'm really old

nope. i dont believe in any of those. i dont believe in luck either. i dont like talismans or necklaces. everything happens for a reason. its not luck, coincidences, or based on amulets or something. :)

When I was younger, I believed in the same thing. Funny but true. It was a little kept secret. But now, it's totally different, I just have to have strong faith to make things happen.

I am a Catholic and it's an insult to God to believe that aside from him, there are inanimate objects that I put my faith on. Some people say "better safe than sorry" but the Scriptures also say that the lukewarm (those who do not choose a side, either God or NOT God) will not be spared from punishment on judgment day. On a less serious note: They look hideous. And after all the progress in science, it's really interesting why even the learned believe in such things. And just to avoid any unguarded comment: rosaries or crosses are not amulets. Those who "treat" them as such need to learn that they are not. Put it this way: if you raise a cross against a bus coming towards you to crush you, it will not miraculously swerve the other way because you did so. It's as good as raising a rock. Holding tight on a cross to help yourself raise your spiritual consciousness is another matter. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

those are said to be demonic. i dont believe on those. hehe..

i also have that so called talisman or amulets the first time i have read your discussion i have been so aggressive to ask how did you usually take care your amulets,because somebody says amulet has latin oracion or prayers before it would effective to the wearer..i really dont expect,but i been concious to your discussion and want to know anything about how,, if you do.. please do share to me any idea you know how you threat your amulet,because i dont wear my amulet..because its should not be seen by others,,but wearing a necklace having a pendant and not should be shown by others is..useless cause wearing necklace is naturally should seen by others..its been one of the question that stock on my mind..please share to me how,,thank you..

I had this tahrani neclace also when I was younger,probably high school.I bought this in Quiapo. as far as I can remember it was Saint Peter in Borja building, a building that is very old. The amulet came with prayers and invocations that you will recite every night for 9 days. and it had restrictions that you dont bring it to bars and motels, whereas its not a so sacred place for a sacred amulet.Well, as I believed it, It gave me fortune in other ways,depending on how you want your fortune and destiny. back then when I was younger, of course I want to be in a rockband and be popular...and it happened! although in just a short while. popular in a way, high school girls came by.because that is how I wanted it! Im not into winning lotteries and all that stuff to be rich that time. that's all that I wanted to be... to be popular.I'm not really a goodlooking person, plain faced as I rate myself, in high school I was just an under rated student whereas popular matinee idol personalities are roaming the highschool ground. but this amulet gave me strong personality and magnetism to the public. because that is how I wanted it! Ifeel that everything is going my way. the amulet was not really attractive when you look at it... but one time I was wearing it, there were two or three people notice how nice my pendant is. I was surprised they notice it first! as a careless person,I lost this and I dont know what happened to this pendant. If given a chance I will go back and will get another amulet like that. I know others will not believe this, but I think sometimes it works. there are lots of amulets there for sale and some are too good to be true... but this Tahrani amulet is waay waaaayback,when amulets are not being sold commercially yet! He is right when he said.. you should not let anybody touch this, and don't ever wear it when your showering or swimming or you lose the power of it.. or else start another 9 days straight of prayers and invocations all over again. well it's up to you people, if you don't believe it. but it works on me. thanks, just sharing my experience with it
