A Talisman is an object marked with "magic signs" and is believed to confer on its bearer supernatural powers or protection.
Very often a talisman's symbol is created from a sacred geometry.
Sacred geometry may be understood as a worldview of pattern recognition, a complex system of religious symbols and structures involving space, time and form. It is used in the design of sacred architecture and sacred art. The basic belief is that geometry and mathematical ratios, harmonics and proportion are also found in music, light and cosmology. Sacred geometry is often referred to as a language of G-d.

The Tree of Life is one of the most familiar of the Sacred Geometry
Symbols. The structure is represented in nature
and relates to the "Flower of Life".
There are many spiritual beliefs associated with the Flower of Life; for example, depictions of the five Platonic Solids are found within the symbol of Metatron's Cube, which may be derived from the Flower of Life pattern. These platonic solids are geometrical forms which are said to act as a template from which all life springs.

A fish is commonly used as a fertility amulet. It is also used as a talisman in some households to repel the Evil Eye. This originates from the Talmud - where it is stated that fish are immune from the evil eye because they are under water!
