I’m now in Greece, working shitty jobs and not doing much of anything. My ”d” button on my brand new laptop isn’t working, forcing me to copy-paste d every time I want to use it. I like words with no ds lately.

In other news, I’m thinking out my pen and paper rpg, ”Fallen”. Things are falling into place but I still haven’t playtested it at all. 20-somethings are the most busy crowd it seems, especially those that don’t do much of anything.

I was thinking lately, about good luck charms and charms in general. I never had much faith in such and a charm supposed to give you good lack is a rather bland concept. After all, such charms can’t be bought at some store for cash money right?  Kinda takes the magic out of it.

Lately though I realized I have a good luck charm of my own, namely a ring on a chain my girlfriend gave me. I always have it with me nowadays, always thinking the day I forget it something bad is going to happen(I’m a pessimist like that). I believe in self-fulfilling prophecies, or a the very least, I’m interested in the idea that our minds and will can sometimes put events in motion in order for a subconscious thought or fear to manifest in reality. But back to ”magic” items, I think I came upon this idea(that perfectly normal items can become something more, at least pertaining to a specific person) in a Aleister Crowley book, probably ”Magick without tears” where he called a book a kind of magic device, transferring ideas and thoughts from one mind to another. I thought it was an interesting way of seeing things.

And those are my jumbled thoughts on the subject of magical items. Cheers!
