Abstract: This article discusses the topic of amulets as an important element of protective magic in the traditional culture of the Siberian Tatars. Amulets, which have existed since ancient times, play a key role in creating a safe psychological environment for a person and his living space. Despite religious prohibitions, amulets have retained their relevance and continue to be used in modern society. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the amulets of the Siberian Tatars, including the specification of terms reflecting their meaning, the definition of the main functions and the identification of motives for the transformation of protective practices in the context of the interaction of pre-Islamic and Islamic beliefs. The research is based on the author's field materials collected in the Tyumen region. The amulets of the Siberian Tatars are presented in various forms: objects, words and ritual actions, which range from protection to healing. Among them are amulets, talismans, plants and household items, as well as magical words and rituals. To achieve these goals, the work uses a comparative method that allows comparing the talismans of the Tatars with similar practices of other peoples, an ethnographic method for studying modern practices of using talismans, as well as a syncretic approach to identify the interaction of various religious and cultural traditions. A semantic analysis of amulets has been carried out, which contributes to a deeper understanding of their symbolism. The scientific novelty of this study lies in a comprehensive analysis of amulets in the traditional culture of the Siberian Tatars, which covers their semantics, functions and transformation in the context of the interaction of Islam and pre-Islamic beliefs. The work uses comparative, ethnographic and semantic methods, allowing us to identify how amulets retain their relevance and significance in the daily life of modern society. The study shows that the amulets of the Siberian Tatars represent syncretism, which combines elements of archaic beliefs (the use of fetish objects, giving protective properties to the blue color, as well as the veneration of archaic spirits and deities) and Muslim traditions. This highlights the complexity and multilayered cultural identity of the Siberian Tatars, as well as their ability to adapt to modern conditions and needs, which makes this phenomenon dynamically developing and relevant in the context of globalization.
