Satanism involved holding large amulets (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talismans

'amulets' is the definition.
('talisman' can be a synonym of 'amulet')

'satanism involved holding large' is the wordplay.
'involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'holding' is an insertion indicator.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'satanism' is an anagram of 'taismans'.
'taismans' enclosing 'l' is 'TALISMANS'.
