Many people carry a talisman or wear an amulet of some sort either because they really believe it has some special power or charm or just because it is an item that possesses special significance to them, even if they don’t ascribe magical potency to it. Maybe they’re genuinely superstitious, and maybe the thoughts they have about it or because of it represent a kind of power in themselves.

Do you carry or wear anything of the sort? If so, why, and what is it?

Wedding rings, class rings, crucifixes and other religious symbols, and emblems of affiliation do possess special significance, of course, but we wouldn’t call such an object a talisman. This question is not about those.
