James Dean's lucky pocket watch was his most important personal possession. The back has a spiral pattern and the cover has his engraved initials. This lucky watch worked for him and he became a movie star. Talismans come in many forms!
When Dean first starred in East of Eden, he insisted on wearing his lucky pocket watch. He had bought it in late 1951 when he was a struggling young actor in New York. It was his first big purchase and he was proud of it. He had his initials engraved on the gold cover and carried it in his pocket for luck wherever he worked, whether it was on TV or in plays.
Around two and a half years later, Dean was spotted and went to Hollywood to meet John Steinbeck, author of East of Eden. When Dean arrived in Los Angeles, he visited his father, which was their first communication in a long time. His father was afraid Dean would lose his lucky watch, so he gave him his own gold watch chain. Even though director Elia Kazan protested, Dean wore the watch, hanging from a belt loop, throughout the filming of East of Eden.
Dean attributed his success to the watch, and it was also a link to his father. Kazan finally relented and allowed him to wear the watch, but he insisted that Dean's engraved initials had to be covered up in close-ups. Dean's performance in East of Eden earned him his first of two posthumous Academy Award nominations and two Golden Globes.
Before his fatal car crash, he had gifted his lucky watch to a woman named Tillie Starrier, who had befriended him early in his movie career. Tillie, a Warner Brothers employee, was older than Dean and seems to have been a surrogate mother for the young 23 year old actor. She was the only person he would allow to prepare his hair for East of Eden and also Rebel Without A Cause. Her letters describe their closeness and tell about how she visited with him the day he crashed his car. Our long-lost Jimmy Dean gave away his talisman and came to a tragic end.
The story of James Dean is a sad one. A talented young man brought down in the prime of his life and career (Heath Ledger is this generation's). I remember him as brooding, almost petulant and definitely a rebel in his own right. I didn't approve of his lifestyle but I still had his picture on my wall when I was a teen in the 50's. That brooding mystery appealed to young girls like me, much to parents horror everywhere!
Can a lucky charm work for you? Definitely yes, as long as you know how to use it!

Prosperity Blues: An Excerpt
Last year, in Spirit Side Magazine, an article was published dealing with the Law of Attraction. I know there has been a whole lot written about this and possibly, even a bit of over-kill but I'll risk writing yet another article about this subject. It's still timely.
Following is only a few parts of that article and at the end I'll tell you where to find it.
Prosperity Blues
The current economic climate gives us ample opportunity to put into practice our knowledge of the Laws of Attraction. Attraction does not suggest that money begets money. It means that by embodying unconditional love you naturally attract to you everything that contains love. According to the laws of spirit everything contains the matrix of unconditional love.
We tend to be more focused on our negative attributes, so when we have to think of the positive it can sometimes be a challenge. The Law of Attraction magnetizes energy within the heart. In addition, every cell on every level of your being contains unconditional love. The more you love yourself, the greater the energy you have to magnetize your wishes and dreams.
Fear is the biggest blockage to attracting what you most desire. You can understand the laws of attraction, but unless you dissolve the fear then what you will attract will only embody that fear. The following is designed to help you identify and move past your fear.
Read each of the following questions, one at a time closing your eyes in between to meditate on the answer. Alternatively, write the answer (I used this method so I could then focus on why I answered the way I did in order to unblock myself).
1) If what I want were in my life now, what would it change?
2) What do I need to adjust within myself in order for this wish to manifest?
3) What is preventing me from achieving my wish now?
4) What do I need to do to create, manifest and embrace my wish?
5) Is there anything else I need to know?
It is beneficial after receiving the answers to your questions to sit with the information for a day or two. When you do this you allow your inner wisdom to bubble to the surface of your conscious awareness. This is another aspect of the Law of Attraction.
Finally, be aware and in the moment, not in the past or future. If you think that something in the future is going to fulfill you, then by the law of energy your consciousness will keep it right there in the future for you. You must know there are no coincidences. You have attracted to you what your soul desires you to know, that you have the power within.
I, Sara, have paraphrased a lot from the article to make it more concise. The original as I found it is in Spirit Side Magazine, an online newsletter archived on www.bmse.net, the web site for Body, Mind & Spirit Expo. The author is Elizabeth Harper, color intuitive, healer, teacher and author and her site is www.sealedwithlove.com.
Use the Magick Medallion to help you attract abundance, no matter what your wishes are. Using a talisman helps you to focus your energy on attracting what you want.

We all need a little help from time to time. Why not an amulet that can intensify your intentions? Hope to see you there!

Lucky Joe
Many years ago, I knew a guy named Joe Grant. At least I think that was his name. Anyway, what I do remember so vividly is that he was the luckiest guy I ever met.
Everything seemed to turn out right for Lucky Joe. We would be walking along and he would find money in the street. He would consistently win at poker and the other gambling games we played at. His date was always the prettiest and he seemed to have his pick of the summer jobs.
One day I asked Joe for his secret. At first he wouldn't tell me but he relented because in his words, I seemed to be such an unlucky jerk. I promised to honor his secret for at least 20 years. That was enough for him so he then showed me his secret.
It was a small medallion, a little bigger than a dollar. All I remember is that it had some writing on it and a picture of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow on one side. Joe told me that he carried this lucky charm with him at all times, ever since his grandfather gave it to him, and from then on he had been truly lucky.
It has been well over 40 years since Joe showed me his lucky charm. Believe me, I looked high and low for something even remotely resembling this magic luck piece with its picture of the pot of gold. No success. So, I finally decided to create an even more powerful amulet, not only for myself but for other people as well. I know it will work for you, too.

New Site Problems
My site at www.goldmagick.com has been re-done. It is hoped viewers will find it much easier to read and navigate. We have had a problem with the Paypal connection and it is in the process of being fixed. However, if anyone would like to purchase the medallion, please send an email to sara@goldmagick.com. She will keep track of your requests and email you when the Paypal connection is fixed.
Be sure to visit the site's ebook page and see the new additions. I don't offer anything that isn't affordable and who knows, something there just might work for you! They also make great gifts.
I'm sorry for the delay and mixup. Sometimes things go wrong and we can't control the outcome.
If ever we needed help in improving our fortunes, it is now! A talisman as a connection to higher sources could only help. I regret that the site wasn't ready for the holiday gift giving but keep in mind there are birthdays and other special events that giving a medallion would be ideal for.
My newsletter also got put on hold with all the upheaval going on. That will be back on track with a copy going out right at New Year's.
We at Gold Magick wish you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?
Years ago I ran an ad with this headline in the Mensa Journal. Mensa is the High IQ organization for people ranking in the top 2% of the population. The ad went on to explain that I was looking for top level engineering analysts. Many people responded and I interviewed at least ten of them.
What a disappointment! Not one of these people was even marginally adequate for the job. Their employment histories were a series of disasters. The only thing these people had going for them was that they were very smart. But they were failures at almost everything they had tried. Oh yes, they had one other commonality, besides being smart. They had the best excuses for their failures that I had ever heard.
Set me to thinking.....why were these super intelligent people such dismal failures? After talking to a handful of them it became obvious. None of them had the slightest idea how to really work! All of them had breezed through school without effort. They didn't have to study to pass the exams. They didn't have to apply themselves to get good grades or awards. They were so intelligent that they could get by without effort, so they never learned to put their backs into anything. They all seemed to feel that their superior intelligence entitled them to privileged treatment. They expected their effortless success in school to continue in the working world.
That's not how it works. Turns out that superior intelligence may help a person succeed, but it is far less important than these three major factors: the willingness to work and persist, belief in the outcome and the ability to form relationships. If you have these qualities, you will succeed. You don't need to be super smart, just intelligent enough to understand what you need to do.
I've known a lot of people who were very successful who were of average intelligence. These people were willing to put in years and years to build an enterprise. They were also able to establish relationships with significant and important people who helped them. For now, all you need to know is this:
** You are smart enough to succeed right now.
** You will have to work hard and be willing to put in a number of years.
** Your success will depend in large part on your ability to form relationships.
Intent is everything. Believing that you can succeed will make it happen. Strengthen your resolve with the use of a talisman. Incredible things will come to you!
