Lucky Charms, Crucifixes and Amulets

…or even talismans to deter bad luck. I almost forgot that one.

Do you have a charm, particular colour or item of clothing you believe gives you good luck or protects you from bad vibes?
Or maybe carry anything sentimental or precious to remind you of a loved one …

No,not really…but I still have My Darlin’ Mums rosary beads
in a little purse in a drawer on My bedside table which I take out now and then when I’m missing Her.

Not exactly a talisman, I have my Mezuzah. I’m not exactly orthodox either, more just a follower of old traditions handed down to me.

I have a tiny Ganesh which was given to me by a Swami from an ashram in Tamil Nadu in India . Ganesh is the God who takes away your worries .

The lady who brought him over from India from Swami told me he was materialised by Swami for me the way they materialise subuthi the healing ash . Ganesh has been with me 25 years now . The lady ran the ashram and is an English woman who dedicated her life to the families and homeless children in India . Sadly we lost contact but Ganesh reminds me of a lovely giving woman who does good in the world

Don’t suppose carrying a calculator is really what you mean? Although it does give me a degree of comfort for some reason. Weird, eh?

Smithy, think I’ve got some of those too. Although one doesn’t seem to work properly since whenever I put it into machines which have “free cash” written on them, the money seems to be taken out of my account anyway. There’s nothing free about that!!
