Talisman - by
Sylvia Farley
Definition of
"Talisman": (1) an
object held to act as a charm to avert evil and bring
good fortune; (2) something producing apparently magical
or miraculous effects.
Linking her article
to the native American quest for a personal talisman, Sylvia
describes how we might adapt this symbolic charm and quest
for spiritual guidance
to "more or less civilized" seekers.
