Cherishing a Talisman Amulet Given to Me By My Colleague, Allyson, While She is Away on Her Sabbatical. I Like the Spiritual Support

I told my colleague, Allyson, I'd need a talisman to carry with me in her absence and she sent a necklace for me to wear. It is the Seal of the Seven Archangels Seals of Solomon Kabbalah and is a blend of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, uniting all the God-oriented angles meant to protect, heal, guide, and balance. I looked it up and I was totally touched. I sent a link to her and she said, "Wow. I didn't even know what a Talisman was and I went on a whim. Well, she rocked it.

I am thrilled to note that it is not anything satanic or underground, but rather a spiritual trinket to fuse faith of multiple religions. I can groove with that as my faith is rather druid and animistic. Give me spirits, nature, animals, weather, and Mother Earth. I don't need the humans, as much as I need the spirited essence always surrounding humanity, especially now as I move through my projects, leadership, fears, and hopes. 

It was a perfect gift and I already found myself grabbing it during stressful moments of my day. It is a way to channel the supernatural to make the natural (ahem, life thing) more tolerable and suggestive. I can channel my faith in what is good and what is possible in the everyday interactions that I have.

I'm about to undergo two days of frantic meetings and scheduling, all while teaching and having to finish up deadlines looming in the near future.

And if you look real close, you can see the freckle on my pointer finger which my friends and I used to joke was an indicator that we had connections to other universes. I used to have a similar freckle on the tip of one of my toes, but it went away with a blister after running a Louisville half marathon one year. 

It all goes full circle and I'll channel any and all good I can find. In the near future I shall read more as I'm totally ignorant of organized religions, but feel it might be smart to have access to them (just in case). 

So, here it goes.
