I bought this amulet in an antique store. But i don't know what it means. Is it hebrew?

By this alphabet, the pentagram of your amulet says (not surprisingly) TE TRA GRAM MA TON (Tetragrammaton, "four-lettered name", i.e. the name of God),
and the hexagram says MICHAEL. The "L" of Michael is in the center. Since it has Michael, it is a protective pentacle.

Here is another text in this alphabet -Do

The first word, written right to left, is "Super" - I haven't done the rest of it yet.

Both alphabet and text are from François Ribadeau Dumas, Grimoires et rituels magiques (Paris, Belfond, 1980 and 1998), pp. 164, 315."
