phylactery

The Count says that more likely the engraver added the Swastika to these in the character of a talisman or phylactery.

Another 'phylactery' consisted of a tiny bag of hoddentin, holding a small quartz crystal and four feathers of eagle-down.

This phylactery, itself "medicine," may be employed to enwrap other "medicine" and thus augment its own potentiality.

The first phylactery which it was my good fortune to be allowed to examine was one worn by Ta-ul-tzu-je, of the Kaytzentin gens.

I do not know how Kirstie became convinced that, whoever or whatever the enemy might be, Mr. Johnstone was the phylactery.
