The stone, symbol, or material is quite important! You could choose based on your astrological sign, birthstone, or anything that you cherish. Even dice can be a talisman! It doesn’t have to be expensive or absolutely unique, so long as it has a special meaning to you.

3. Consider polarities
Your talisman will absorb whatever energy you’re giving out, so make sure to keep it close when you’re happy and turn it away when you’re not so that it doesn’t absorb your negative feelings.
