Of late, I've been wanting to do all I can to support my spouse in his desire to break free of retail work under management that treats him terribly.
ADHD makes it difficult for to remember the things he's asked for support in - nice of it complicated, but impossible to do of I can't even, you know, remember I want to do things. :P
I created a sort of charm to help remind me, by taking objects I've saved but had set aside for some unknown project, that reminded me of our entire relationship:
- A ribbon from our first date, that I tied around his arm as a medieval favor of sorts
- The ring I wore to replace the one I'd worn for years before giving it to him as a sign of my loyalty and affection
- Two rings (a cheap scrapbook one and another made from a blacksmith's nail and blackened) used as place holder engagement rings
- My first wedding ring that lost the stone out of it and had to be clipped off my finger after swift weight gain, but I determined to keep cause I'm a sentimental fool.
I trimmed the edges of the ribbon, but kept the well loved ribbon in the same condition it's otherwise been (didn't wash or iron it), because it feels full of memories the way it is - important for a memory charm xD
I lit a candle, turned on a song we heard on our first date, created the charm, and pinned it to the wall where it can be a reminder to me from now until he gains a job where he's appreciated.
Not bad for a first charm, going on intuition and advice from a more experienced witch friend. X)
