Get a Custom Charm IN YOUR LOCAL CHINATOWN

First of all Happy Chinese New Year !! 🧧❤️‍🔥 Last year on my birthday, I got a charm from a shop in Binondo, the heart of Manila’s Chinatown. Achi the shopkeeper told me that after getting the charm, I should pray at the Cross of Lognos altar and light three incense sticks to have my wishes answered and not gonna lie, that charm became my little anchor through ups and down. It’s actually the only superstition i believe cos it’s been with me through ups and down Shoutout to the chinito guy from my hometown ~~ we were born to be lovers but destined to stay strangers. 🤣 We never crossed paths again, but thanks to him, I discovered this tradition. Now, I’m planning to get a new one. I’m not sure if this is a tradition to other local chinatowns but if ever find yourself in Binondo, Manila or maybe in your local chinatown, grab those charms too!!

Talismans

I’m almost always wearing jewelry that’s meaningful, whether it was a gift from someone or something i bought that reminds me of someone. I also think you can add meaning to things by making them important, like my favorite ring, which I bought just because I love it but now feels like a part of my self because I wear it so much. In my car, I have a few charms on my mirror: -evil eye from Turkey, where my mom lived for a few years when she was a kid -silver kokopelli charm that has my grandmothers initials and says “her car” on it 🥹 -silver colored sea creature bouquet on a keychain that my little brother gave me when he was small -beaded rainbow octopus from a trip to California to visit family Also a big fan of collecting good rocks on trips and sometimes I’ll carry one of them in my pocket.

⛓️

i always carry multiple charms

A victorian locket made with braided human hair and seed pearls, a photograph of someone's pet bunny I found in an old abandoned manor, a small unlabelled vial of perfume whose origins remain a mystery to me, dried four leaf clovers in my opaque phone case that nobody knows are there except me, small piece of unidentified shiny mineral that i mined as a child by smashing rocks with a hammer until said piece was unearthed... There are countless others...
