One of the easiest easiest ways to make some artful magic is by creating a talisman—an object we can enchant by calling upon natural energies, including our own, to charge it with our desired intention.

2. Place your material in your embroidery hoop. Cut a piece of embroidery floss the length of your outstretched arm. Thread your needle and knot the end of your floss. 3. Following the pattern, create the bottom of your pyramid with chain stitches in dark orange. Outline the apex of your pyramid with yellow backstitches, then fill in the center with dark-orange backstitches. Place a French knot, in white, in the center of the apex. Create the rays surrounding the apex with ray stitches; shorter ones in yellow, then longer ones in white.
4. Once you’re finished, knot your loose threads at the back of the patch, trim any ends, and cut your patch to 3" x 3". Attach your patch to a shirt or jacket with running stitch. Bring the needle up through the fabric, and draw thread through. Then insert the needle back into the fabric at this same point, but don’t pull through yet! Position the tip of the needle to come out 1⁄4" further along the stitch line from where it went in, and tuck the thread behind the needle.
