Talismans for Luck...and some special bookmarks

This is one of the Travelling Talismans I make for clients and friends.

One of the things I love to do is make red clay talismans--red clay/redding is a "borry" from other hoodoo traditions. You may have heard it as brick dust but I decided to try my hand at making red clay dust. Red clay is a near-ubiquitous part of our mountain land...in fact, there's a nice shiny patch of it in the empty lot across from my house.  I'm planning to raid it sometime tomorrow.

I'm going to create a special bookmark that has a red clay talisman attached to it, for all the people who pre-order the useful little book.  An extra incentive to get an order in before the official publication date.
