ARCHETYPES PROJECT

The purpose of this project is to make a talisman symbol or zodiac sign or any other symbol that we going to use as a ritual for the 5 days continuously. So, I have made a talisman symbol that i had used for five days continuously.

I have drawn my Talisman on my pillow which I have used for five days when I go to sleep at night, and I made this my ritual for the next five days. The placement of the talisman figure is on the right-hand side of the pillow, and I chose to place my talisman figure there because it would be easy to click my photo with talisman. I started using my talisman design as a ritual from 30^th October to 3^rd of November.  I have used three upper and lower case letters such as ‘A’, ‘K’, and ‘S’ in order to make my talisman which looks like a stable and solid standing image. Then, I have drawn the figure on my pillow and also used black fabric marker in order to coloring in it. I have taken photos of myself each day of using talisman at night which helps me create documentation on using talisman as a ritual. First day when I have painted my talisman on my pillow and used it, I didn’t have a good sleeping time because I was continuously thinking that there is something under my head which was kind of disturbing me. So, I didn't sleep well on the first day of talisman project. Second day, I had the same feeling as I felt on the first day. Third day, I was getting used to it because that talisman pillow I was continuously using it for two days. Fourth day, when I was using my pillow, I had a scary dream which make me wake up in the night around 3 to 4am. When saw my pillow in early morning, I throw it out from my bed because the talisman design looks weird to me in morning. Fifth day, when I was using my pillow, I was very comfortable with it, and I think now I could use it for many more days as a ritual.
