Abstract: This study analyzes the mythological, psychological, and folkloric origins of talismans in Azerbaijani folk beliefs. The research particularly focuses on the social and cultural functions of talismans used to protect children from the evil eye. It examines the symbolic connections between these talismans, shaped by ancient beliefs, and elements of nature and mythological figures. The method involves the examination of folkloric texts and ritual practices, supplemented by field studies and psychoanalytic approaches. The study demonstrates how talismans serve a protective function within the mythological and psychological thought processes of the people.
