The Magic Belt Of Poland

The Magic Belt of Poland is a special belt with inscribed symbols. The original belt was 2.28m (89" long) parchment scroll with the magic symbols inscribed on the outside and the prayers for them written on the inside of the Belt. The Knights of Poland used it to protect them from all possible danger. The original source of protective magic probably dates to before 1600 AD in Christian magic, however, the symbols might be from pagan antiquity. The Magic Belt was originally on exhibit by the Archeology Department of the Warsaw University in 1922, but disappeared at the end of WWII. Invoking the talismans, one would take the belt off and stand in a circle with their hair loose. These belts held knives, ladanki and were wore by both women and men. It is possible in these everyday belts and magic belts were embossed with the symbols and possibly come from the origin of the Key of Solomon. For the Magic Belt talismans see Sources at the bottom of the page.
