    Default talismans, anyone?

    was talking about this with another girl at work last night...a lot of us seem to have some sort of "lucky charm", if you will, for work. Hers is a rhinestone necklace in the shape of the pirate skull-and-crossbones.

    Mine is a ring that a very good friend gave me back when i was agonizing over my future and the uncertainty of it all. It's this thick silver band with a World Inferno Friensdhip Society quote, "fortune loves the fearless", enscribed in Gaelic.

    I actually don't believe in luck or superstition, but I wear the ring to work most days. When I'm having a bad night, or simply feeling like I'm not in the mood to chat up guys and risk rejection, or thinking "why should I bother asking if they want to move to VIP; they won't"...my little ring is there as a visual reminder that i might as well just put myself out there because...well...fortune loves the fearless!

    Anyone else have any little tokens like that that help you sell?

    I have a charm I bought from a Shinto shrine when I was in Japan last year that is for good luck in making money. I carry it in my work purse all the time. I will get another one this year when I go back.

    I have a dollar I found with a hole punched in the middle in the shape of a paw print.

    I don't know, but it was cute, ever since I had it I've made better money. I now keep it on top of my computer so I don't lose or accidentally spend it.

    This is my See No Evil Buddha necklace. I got him at a bead show in NYC a few years back before I moved away.... Its about the size of a silver dollar. Inside the plastic (sorry that it reflects so much) is a Buddha covering his eyes. He sees no evil, so evil does not see me. The back has some symbols... but I am unsure of what it all means, if anything at all.

    I have a necklace my girlfriend made me with citrine (to attract wealth), amethyst (to keep everything good), rose quartz (for happy lovey feelings), and crystal points (positioned to deflect negative energy.

    i think the power in most tokens comes from the psychological impact they have on the person wearing/carrying them. in that sense, i think they work. afterall, they can't -hurt- anything.

    I have a stacked ring that I cannot be without. I get completely psyched out if I'm not wearing it, which is probably why I think I *need* to wear it.

    I have a pendant depicting the Indian Goddess of Wealth and Beauty, Lakshmi. I wear her around my neck all the time. She's not specific for work though.

    My best friend gave me her Ankh necklace when we were walking around Walmart at 4am trying to speed up my labor. I wear it all the time; it means so much to me. It was just one of those "special" moments. I'm getting two ankhs tattooed near my hip bones by her. That way I will always have the ankh she gave me by my side.

    Eh, I'm boring, I just kept the first tip I got from my audition and made it into a ring. It represents my overcoming shyness/anxiety to 'go for it'.
