"Sometimes I just hold the mirror or B in my hand to see if I can feel my mom"

These items make me feel connected to my mother- she chose those things for me

for luck

Memories

They make me feel good when I hold them

He was my big brother; we were best friends. it feels like he is with me and still looking out for me when I have it

"I know he sees it on my finger. Online, when I see him in public."

So if I ever need him, he’ll show up.

Lip balm (I'm a farmer in Minnesota, lips, nose, knuckles all need some love) Knife (always needed for opening things and staying safe, spiritually and physically) GIANT hunk of hematite, I purchased it from a metaphysical store a few years ago and it sat in a pile of crystals for a long time. My 6yo son picked it out and handed it to me about a year ago, and he said I needed to carry it for protection.

Protection

"The hag stone if held has gotten rid of annoying people when I talk to it in my head. I asked it to get rid of the annoying people behind me in the theatre and they never returned after the intermission. I know my aunty makes that stuff happen."

I feel like they are with me when I keep them close x

Because I might need it for barter, gifts or payment.

It is the most special gift I ever received. I knew what was in the box prior to opening it, I could feel its energy. My son even recorded me opening it. I'd always wanted a piece of moldavite, but never felt right our hasing it for myself. I looked for the right piece for years.

"No one knows about it and ChatGPT designed it for me 🙈"

I don’t want to lose him, he makes me so happy.

To attract money.

"I feel connected to my sp and our twin flame connection"

A mystic suggested carrying these after she did a love spell for me.

"With this item I have necklace I have ever blessed I gave to a relative that wears their necklace and I kind feel like it's a connected like branches to a tree and so when I hold it it feels like I have all their strength by me"

It helps me channel and as an empath the stones help me balance

"Selenite, for the moon connection, vervaine for calm and protection and a dollar bill for always having money and luck."

It feels right.

"It has really pretty marbling pattern going through it and the bottom is cut a bit slanted so it doesn't stand up perfectly straight. I feel like it's a good metaphor for me."

It just feels special and I feel better when it's near me.

Protection

It reminds be of a magical journey i went on, and it reminds me to be communicative.

Yeah it just feels right.

Because my mother in law gave it to me when i was her son's girlfriend like a reminder and a protection. We are still in touch, is like having a part of their hearts with me.

Protection during journeys.

"They hold the energy of the deceased loved one."

iComfort, I need to keep these things close to me

"I keep it in my wallet always. I never take it out. It’s with all my cash , cards and ID. I’ve never told anyone about it. Not even my husband."

Protection and connection with Hecate, along with the reminder that I have the key to unlock answers to my questions. Keys have been a recent addition to my talisman collection. This one is small, brass, simple yet connected with a time when I was a kid.

"Yes I have spirits in my home as do most practitioners but the rosary protects my family and loved ones as well when we communicate with the dead"

Because I was a catholic for 13 years but paganism is the religion I was taught as a child and it’s in my bloodline and ancestory and I had a Rosary tattoo on my hand and arm and had the tattoo blessed because it is a reminder to me that I was never truly Catholic I have been pagan my entire life and the rosary is a reminder of something i could never be or put my heart into it so it’s a reminder of who I am and I got it blessed so when Iinteracted with spirit I can never truly be possessed because I personally have been blessed

"Nobody even knows I have them. It just seemed a little too woo-woo. Now I feel better, more normal."

Somehow we belong together. When I run across them I rub them and feel calmer. I keep them in the little inside zipper pocket of any purse I am carrying. I won't buy a purse without one.

"It took a while to control the flash images I get from the Moldavite. The first one shortly after I started wearing it was heavy and tragic which came to pass in the next few days. It caused a bad heaviness in my chest. Probably because it was beyond my control to change or warn anyone of the event. (It happened continents away from me.) I think that was to show me the strength the stone actually has. I cherish it and will pass it to my only grand-daughter when I leave this world."

It’s my reminder of our souls intertwined and his protection of me. It helps me read others aura and intentions.

"My mom initially made me a medicine bag. After she died I made a new one and changed some of the things inside it."

Multiple reasons; protection, grounding, intuition, healing, and more.

"The skeleton key when I first touched it, gave me a rush like I had just found the key to my home. Not sure where that home is, but the knows. And it's the closest feeling of home I've had in alot of of years"

Each one just feels as though it's meant to be with me.

"None of my siblings or my mom even know I have it. I took it off of it's door frame one day and no one noticed for over a year."

It connects me to my home. It was the only home I grew up in and I knew I'd be moving out at 18 and never coming back, and I knew my mom would sell it without thinking about my siblings and I's feelings on it or if we'd want to buy it one day. It also feels like a connection to the protection and endless possibilities of my youth, something I can channel into my current self.

Because they are energy and align me with my divine soul ,nature ,spiritual infinite possibilities and miracles every second

"I genuinely forget that I have it. It stays in my purse until I decide to clean it out. But I did draw a pentacle on the small white bag on both sides. But because I haven't deconstructed Christianity yet, I also drew next to it the Orthodox cross, the one with 3 bars. Both in red. I liked red. I hope red was a good color to do that. But I've kept it all this time. I say it's a good timeline of my journey and how far I've come."

I was a new witch, recently spiritually awakened and going through cancer chemo treatment during that time. I needed something to stabilize me and help me make sense of this new disorienting feeling and I just felt okay in carrying it. Having something physical made sense.

"I talk to it in moments of distress or rub the shell with my thumb when I need guidance."

I carry this with me everywhere, to keep my Culture, my ancestors, my Country and my great grandfather close. It reminds me of who I am, where I come from and maintains a spiritual connection to my great grandfather.

"I leave it in my car (which only I ever drive) in the centre console now. One morning I was leaving early (my car was parked outside overnight) and picked the stone up and noted how cold it was. Spontaneously I thought to myself: "Cold and hard. Just like her heart.""

Because it's something that She gave me.

"I have two daughters. it may sound silly but I'll leave them each a twig and hope they carry it in their makeup bags same as Grandma and me. Daily reminders of us."

My mom said all witches carry one. I thought that was enchanting. I carry in her honor and it makes me feel safe.

"I've misplaced them several times and pure panic has set in every single time. I know I could easily replace them, but I am so attached to them, I have to have them with me all the time, even if I'm not using them."

These were the first gift from a man I planned to marry and there is this mini link to him.

"I carry him so his spirit remains with me"

It helps me keep him near

I was having a dinner with my friend, we were enjoying time and food together. There was a crystal tent on the street, we felt drawn to it, there where som many beautiful crystals, I was hovering my hand, feeling which one I felt drawn to and vice versa. As I hovered over my crystal I felt a strong pull, I even saw it twinkle at me, I pick it up and my friend turns to me and says, " I had a feeling that was gonna be yours the moment I saw it" I felt so joyful and grateful about friend ships, and connections, meant to be. I'm an introvert and this gives me peace and harmony to be myself and appreciate those around me. To value connections and friendships

I love to have them with me and think about how they remind me on the good times..

Definitely for protection and memory and also it just feels right. I feel like we are almost connected through it.

Literally my touchstone, kept in my front left pocket. comfort and centering.

"Nana had magic, just like me. Though she never recognized it, I caught subtle signs. Like how she felt lightheaded whenever I started a candle spell. Or always asked me to read her cards. Or practiced the Italian folk magic for the evil eye. But the fact that she knew to give me the medal when she did, is a significance that few will ever truly know."

While I am no longer Catholic, I've always loved Mary, and every divine mother that she embodies. The night before Nana died, she asked me if I wanted the metal, "because something told her she should ask". She was 95, and one of the most precious persons in my life. That same night we spoke about love and death, and the bonds that last between us. It was the last conversation we had before I found her gone the next day.

To manifest money. Since doing this my income increased by £1,000 per month, I got a student loan which is £1,000 per month (which a family member is kindly paying for me!) and I have been gifted £1,000.

To protect me and guide me.

"I need your help"

No one else could

"The giver doesn't know that I kept it (ir that I value it this much) ~ this is the first time I've told anyone about it."

I received it from a friend, during a summer job. It was during a year, when I didn't feel belonging and that one note helped me cope. The crystal accompanying it is a favourite of mine.

"I read the ACOTAR series when I was in a very low point in life, it looks like it could be a souvenir from Velaris. I feel the soothing and protective magic I felt when I read the books."

I hold it in my hand and it grounds me when I feel anxious. When I look at it, I'm reminded of the endless possibilities in life. It makes me stay present and let go of the anxiety and fears that I have trying to control the future. It shows me that a bright future is possible, even if I don't see it right now.

"I need access to safety. I was abused in numerous ways by multiple men for a total of 27 years. In the process I lost people for a period of time. It's my way of reminding myself not to lose access to your people, yourself and to appreciate those who keep you safe. My best friends and my husband saved my life literally."

The crystals are for protection. The key because it's access to her inner sanctum, so I know I always have the key to her heart. The card because it symbolizes the love we share

Memory, connection.

Groundedness - embodied. I'm very Airy - and need reassurance that my body is still here as I'm easily pulled into the Trance space.

A lot of special needs kids to adults (ages 3-26) that go there have “behaviors” that scare people, but my aunt was a bad ass bitch too so I’m not scared. It’s common to have minor physical injuries, but after I started being targeted I brought her and she protects me. The only one allowed to kick my ass was her ❤️

Protection

"This was a good way for me to not tell my husband how I’ve been feeling about our son’s development and my self love. It also pertains to circumstances that I’ve been out of our control in the past couple months. It felt like a safe way for me to write down what I wanted without judgment."

It gives me a little faith that what I’m manifesting is on its way. It was the only little tip I’ve seen that felt right to me that I could just incorporate into my everyday life.

The hematite for grounding and protection, the handkerchief for comfort, the rosary to remember the women who came before me, and the knife for cutting things.

"I wear it for protection after a severe dog bite and to help with anxiety over going out ."

Protection healing to help me feel happy to make me feel worthy .

keeps me connected and grounded.

Stress relief

Grief Caesar was my pet from 9 years old until 23 years. He was a part of me. Child through adult.

It just feels like we're meant to be together. I suppose it is both grounding and illuminating for me. It feels like it reminds me of my ancestral witch and magic roots.

"Lately I've started wearing it on my ring finger, just to see how it will feel to wear an engagement ring, and to manifest a loving marriage."

Because it's beautiful, it reminds me of both my grandma and my mom (since she wore it before she gave it to me), and because citrines have always made me feel safe.

The prayer card is absolutely for protection. I can't say for certain why I still have the key but I think it reminds me of how home should be

Protection

"I wasn’t looking for them. I was just staring at the water and watching the reflection glimmer, listening to nature. Then I just saw to the bottom and there were three shells there for each child I guessed. I felt lucky."

I’m waiting for the right time or I would like to make a necklace maybe out of them.

"It was given to me by two sisters that share their business magic! So it feels especially potent"

It helps remind me that I can be weathered and still be beautiful and strong. Mostly it reminds me of my strength and tenderness

"My seashell that use as necklace the last almost 4 years ( I haven't got it out of my body for the last 3) , I made it and started wearing it long ago I got into spiritual things , like a subtle call into my intuition"

Protection for my intuition and female sexual energy
