Thank you very much for elaborating! I might not use everything I learn here for the purposes of what I'm writing, but I still find it interesting to learn about for learning's sake! (And it is somewhat interesting to connect the zettel concept to the source material I'm writing for, although I doubt the series' creators had the concept in mind at all.)
Are there any kinds of charm/amulet or protective rituals associated with protection from supernatural beings' influence (the devil himself, alps and mahrts, other demons and ill-causing spirits and beings) that you know of? Alternatively, any such things for trying to ward against wild animals (such as those that attack people and livestock, or steal food - including folkloric variations on this real threat, like how werewolves are to wolves) and disease, that you know of? Sorry if this is too broad of a question.
Regarding the thriller article: Well now I feel very much like I was making poor assumptions based on the article. ^_^; Sorry, now I worry that I've been very rude... I've been slow to reply because I wasn't sure how to appologize.
