Fortitude Bottle Charm

When optimism and positive thinking fail, I find that a simple stubborn refusal to give up is an invaluable resource for surviving difficult times. Keep one of these charms in your pocket on the days when you need a little extra tenacity and grit. Vibrant pebbles of agate and tiger’s eye provide the courage to carry on, supplemented by red jasper and white oak to strengthen endurance, while a blend of ginger root and crushed red peppers provides that spicy (and slightly spiteful) energy to keep you going. And if the attached jasper column charm reminds you at all of a brick, well…that’s not an accident.
