Gypsy Protection Amulet

Color of the day: Gold
Incense of the day: Almond

The patron of the gypsies, St. Sara, is honored today. To make a gypsy amulet for good luck and protection, fill a black pouch, called a putsi, with a holed stone, a seashell, and a piece of fine paper on which you’ve drawn a spiral. Wear this putsi around your neck. The gypsies say that one way to make your wishes come true is to walk through a forest with the intention of finding a lucky talisman. When an object catches your eye, whether it is a twig, a stone, or a flower, hold it in your left hand. If it feels like your power object, put it in your putsi and carry it on your person until your wish comes true. When your wish comes true, bury your power object in the forest while saying a prayer of gratitude to St. Sara.
