Talisman

Talisman

One of my other hobbies is jewelry making and I'm often inspired by the tarot in my designs. I recently created this pendant based on the Wheel of Fortune as something of a comfort object. I guess you could say it's like a spiritual fidget spinner, but you probably shouldn't.

I don't want to get ahead of my process, but the Wheel and I have a history. Early on I loathed it because it would very frequently show up in my readings and vex me. It seemed to be mocking me by saying I had no control. After a while I realized what it was actually trying to say was this: though the wheel of fate is perpetually turning, you have ultimate control of your own destiny. This pendant is a reminder of that lesson. I can spin it when I'm feeling anxious (always) or need to contemplate something. It's comforting, but the points are sharp as a reminder of the sometimes cruel nature of fate. The chain binds it to me, and as a Scorpio I am fixed and immovable.

If it seems like something that could help you as well, you can pick one up here. (Plus it's on sale through Monday for Labor Day! How fortuitous.)

It is made of rose gold plated brass and set on a rose gold plated chain.
