Hii,

I'm writing a small book on traditions/superstitions that stem from myths as a birthday present (she's a witch, I'm a mythology nerd, this is our common ground). One that immediately comes to mind is the Medusas head and using it as a protection symbol, but since my knowledge is pretty much limites to the Greeks, is there anything similar in other cultures? Can anyone here give me pointers?

Thanks so much!
