Captain Morgan's Private Stock is yummy and makes the best Milk Punch (which is made from milk, water, sugar and rum or brandy, or occasionally bourbon.)
So I've gone into some kind of occult arts and crafts mode lately, and have been constructing various charms. Some of my work:
Hamsa hand, with a cat's eye shell to be extra strong at repelling the evil eye.
Blue and orange candles for happiness and blessings.
Fortune telling die.
A magical charm on a lead tablet sewn into a leather cover.
There's probably more to come -- the minimum amount of clay I could buy was 25 lbs, so I have a ton of that left...

Personally, I'm fascinated with the die. How did you decide what would be on the faces? And how did you prevent any sort of lop-sidedness? The slightest flaw can result in skewed results... although sometimes that's exactly what we want.
aristophanes:
The die was made by rolling the clay into a ball then smacking it on the table to flatten the faces. I wanted the die to be good for yes/no type questions, so the sides all say things like "It will be" or "It can never be." One side, interestingly, crumbled off in the baking process, and that side so far seems to roll up commonly when one has a lot of influence over the answer (like if I ask it a test question where it's possible for me to easily do the opposite of what it predicts if I feel like it, like "Will I get up from the table now?")
