Gris-gris (talisman)

Gris-gris, also spelled grigri, and sometimes also "gregory" or "gerregery",〔https://archive.org/stream/conjureinafrican00ande/conjureinafrican00ande_djvu.txt〕 is a voodoo amulet originating in Africa which is believed to protect the wearer from evil or brings luck, and in some West African countries is used as a method of birth control. It consists of a small cloth bag, usually inscribed with verses from the Qur'an and containing a ritual number of small objects, worn on the person.
==Etymology==
Although the exact origins of the word are unknown, some historians trace the word back to the African word ''juju'' meaning fetish. An alternative theory is that the word originates with the French ''joujou'' meaning doll or play-thing.〔 It has otherwise been attributed in scholarly sources to the Mandingo word meaning "magic."〔
