Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

maryjane31 says,

I carry my St. Anthony medal with me at all times. He has never failed me. Not superstitious but just believe in Him strongly. Sent one to my son after repeatedly not getting a good job. He took it in his pocket on an interview and landed it!! This was after many rejects.

maryjane31 says,

He would only give you a coin if he decided not to kill you. Saw that movie, really did not like it. I especially did not like the ending. But yet many people really liked it. Not my cup of tea!

accidentaltourist says,

I am not superstitious, really. But I carried a pocket angel for years....recently gifted it to someone I thought needed it. In turn someone else gifted me with a few charms, which I will now carry until I see a need to pass them on.

Wench says,

Not superstitious, but I do find myself wearing my Believe hat on bad days.

maryjane31 says,

My Believe hat makes me feel comfort. I wear it when feeling bad and it always lifts me up. I guess it is my lucky charm. It feels so soft. I love my hat and will never part with it. My St.Anthony medal is an entirely different thing.

MsKillie says,

I have a zodiac/chakra necklace that I had made at a New Age conference years ago. The jewelry artist sat down with me and ask me questions, so that he could put positive energy in it just for me. I've kept it in my vehicle every since and it's brought me lots of luck!

maryjane31 says,

They say positive energy is the secret to success in life. I really believe this. I just wish I could always stay positive but it can be difficult. Glad for you luck and everyone else as well.

Dhani says,

All 'superstition' has its roots firmly planted in FEAR...

canadafreeze says,

I have a few tokens that give me comfort and therefore, good luck. A pink quartz crystal that is smooth and solid in my hand and warms when held is my latest acquisition.

maryjane31 says,

Went to a Christmas Flea Market at the church this morning. Just got back and they were selling pink quartz crystals for fifteen dollars. I was holding one in my hand and it felt warm. Did not buy it because I have my own special ones which I mentioned. Thought fifteen bucks was a little much.

Dhani says,

By the by, I believe there's nothing 'superstitious' about the inherent power of some stones & gems. I'm one of the few 'white' people who has had a 'limpia' or spiritual cleansing ritual performed on him by an authentic Huichol Indian shaman & witnessed five (5) smoky-gray rock crystals extracted from my body representing, I was later told, bad energy.

KharisJo says,

I'm a Christian so have faith in the Creator, not the created. I believe many beautiful things in this world - stars, plants, rocks e.g. point to His amazing design but do not have powers in themselves. However man- made things that remind us of how much others care or are symbols or memories of someone are very nice to have around.

ba_miracle says,

I have a gratitude rock. Smooth Pink Quartz with wire wrapped around it.
It was given to me by a homeless man years ago..and I had "graciously" tried to decline it at the time. I don't know that it is "lucky" but it has been a valuable reminder. When it's time for me to pass it on I'll know.

accidentaltourist, :-)

and big time yes to the Believe hat as a mood lifter...if I'm not wearing it, it is on display.

Believe says,

Mine is a skeleton key. Not a particular one, per se, but the symbol. I always have one with me in some form or another.

And there is this hat. I knitted it in a time of great fear. And it guarded me through a scary time. I find myself wearing it when I need to feel safe. It is knitted with roving, not yarn. I'm into symbolism, and the roving was my symbol to say that I was not ready for the struggle that I was dealing with. Roving is what they make yarn from. I made my hat with something that wasn't prepared yet. It may only make sense to me. The hat thing is very deep rooted. I'm honored to have my quirky little thing appreciated by such great people here on six.

Not superstitious until I walk under a ladder.

maryjane31 says,

When a black cat crosses my path I feel a little bit apprehensive.

Dhani says,

Geronimo: Yes, five (5) smoky-gray rock crystals! I was not aware of this phenomenon when I agreed to undergo the cleansing ritual. Oddly enough, thinking I had 'rocks in my head' after my bewildering experience, I went back to the library and sure enough, as far back as 1939 ('coincidentally' my birth year) anthropologists have witnessed the Huichol Indian 'marakames' or sorcerers, extract from their patient's body either a kernel of corn, a piece of charcoal or a rock.

I have written of my experience in local newspapers & online. The Huichol shaman, Marakame Jacinto Lopez, is now deceased, but he was photographed by renowned Canadian photographer Peter Collings, which foto is enshrined in the American Museum of Anthropology in New York.

Dhani says,

CORRECTION: I mean, the American Museum of Natural History in N.Y.

BELIEVE: I 'love' skeleton keys! I used to be an antique dealer, owned a bunch of them. Because they're no longer commonly used, they do, for me at least, connect immediately to my long-ago past when they were quite common.
