Kim Young-ja: Korean talismans

A ‘jax coitre’, which blocks and brings blessings, and a symbolic picture of human need and will is the ‘address.’. This amulet is an indication of the outside world and of one's life of someone with a charm. With amulets, humans continue to communicate with the outside world in a large and conciliatory way, while they constantly crave the happiness and goodwill of this world. The reason why the changes in historical and modern circumstances continue to be used and varied from ancient to modern is that the desire is realized and returned when meaningful virtual manipulations are placed on the body. Because what people expect on their charms is a healing, a catharsis effect. In a situation beyond human power, people are dependent on amulets that believe that God is on their side as a tool for communicating with him.
