Talismans are objects or beliefs that we use to bring us protection, or luck, or greater awareness. While mostly thought of as objects, such objects are truly no more than representations of some inner part of ourselves that we know is the right solution for our fears or worries, but we just aren't ready to name that part just yet. Or trust it.

So instead, we use some object, such as a ring, or an amulet, or a tatoo, to take the place of that aspect of ourselves, and "do" the work that is really being performed by, say, our inner beauty, or persistence, or our "Inner Dog".
