What do you hang around your neck

Smoke

Done here.
I took off my cross four weeks ago because I've become uncomfortable with Christianity and don't want to identify myself as a Christian. I'm not through with Jesus, but I'm through with Christianity, at least for now. I need a little distance from that.

I do like wearing jewelry, and until a few months ago I wore six earrings; I've also had body piercings and have worn up to five or six rings at a time. In particular I like wearing something around my neck, especially something meaningful. I've considered wearing a necklace with a peace symbol, or a pink triangle, or a yin-yang, or the 8-pointed star used by many Friends, but I'm also considering how my inclination to wear such things balances with the Quaker simplicity testimony. For now, I'm not wearing any jewelry at all, but that may change in the future.

I wear a silver chain with a red and black guitar on it with small diamond insets that my best friend bought me for my birthday. Being a fanatic audiophile, I suppose it's a symbol of my faith, haha.

I wear the Runemaster's Sword. Alot of people mistake it for a typical cross. It's a very powerful protective symbol. The only time it comes off is when I wrestle, or do anything else that might severly bend it. It's made of pewter so it will do that quite easily. I'm trying to find a black chain to wear it on. I used a cheap one that came with an air-freshener with my pentagram, but it broke very easily.

Just interested in how people might wear amulets and symbols which reflect their faith. Myself, I wear a silver Ankh, an owl pendant of Athena, and shock and suprise, a wooden crucifix, maybe I'm looking for some insurance. I'm not sure, but maybe the cross is a hangover from my Anglican upbringing. In anycase I never take it off.

I often wear my secondary regulator around my neck. :D

I still have a silver crucifix that I had a vicar bless for me; it spends most of it's life in a drawer. To wear it under my clothes seems to only have the value of reminding me what I want to remember; to wear it outside of Proselytizing.


So I guess it stays in the drawer. I think of God most of every day.

I wear 2 chains, one is Arwen's Evenstar from LOTR's films (which I love) and my second chain is a crystal cross.

I have never worn any kind of adornments. Not even a watch.

I have thought of having a stylized OM symbol made into a gold pendant, with a diamond for the dot. That I would wear :)

Here is the image. It is called "blissfilled Om #4"

Very Nice, like it. Hmm, custom jewellery, expensive ? Tiffany's would be happy to take the comission, and a yellow 1 carat diamond would be nice :)

Most days, I ware nothing, due more to work constrains and safety reasons. But when I'm free and able, I ware my wedding ring, my turtle earrings and my medicine bag. That's my more casual and religious attire. I've got a few normal necklace, nothing of any major mention.

I used to wear a dog tag that was a gift from a friend. Now I wear a (brass?) cross on my chest. I had to replace the chain because the old chain broke. I once wore it at a friends house, he was a muslim, and he asked me to take it off. I said no. We're still friends. There are also a lot of Bosnians in where I live and most of them like to wear chains with the Islam moon-star symbol on it.
