As soon as I saw the “All is Vanity” talisman I knew I had to have it. It spoke loudly to the nihilist in me, and the imagery used was just perfect. It is, perhaps, a bit grim, but then all the truest advice often is. The piece itself is gorgeously made and the quality far exceeds what I was expecting. It has some weight to it, and when I hold it between finger and thumb (a nervous habit of mine) it fits as if it were meant to be there and helps staunch the flow of black thoughts. I’m not saying this talisman holds power, but I’m also not saying that it doesn’t…
