AN AMPARO is a charm or amulet that is made for protection. Amparos are most commonly used to prevent curses and to remove existing crossed conditions. The amparo tradition is Latin American in origin, and in fact, the word amparo actually means protection in Spanish. One of the most common amparos created by curanderas and brujas is the St. Michael Amparo. These are particularly useful for folks who work with Santa Muerte or in necromancy or left-handed works that may otherwise make you vulnerable to spiritual attack. Amparos are the created from special herbs and prayers sandwiched between prayer cards and sealed in a special ritual. Carry your St. Michael Amparo with you at all times for general protection or keep on your altar for use when working with other Spirits. St. Michael Amparos are especially effective at seances and provide extra protection while ghost hunting or engaging in other paranormal phenomenon. Instructions for use are included.
