Expeditions: Exploring and Collecting



Search for and collect unique items which attract your interest. Go on exploration expeditions looking for objects from nature or man made items and give them fictional definitions. Describe them as having fantastical properties and origins. Name them and describe their unique uses. Perhaps they have a certain effect such as healing, protection, or bestowing unique metaphysical abilities. Once you have described what these items do, pretend to use them to navigate a current situation, where they magically have an effect on your state of being.
The idea is to have fun creating placebos, or permission slips to let yourself deviate from your normal courses of action or behavior. There is an art to defining these symbols in a way that will resonate with you on some level, giving you an extra edge. This is how shamanic or religious artifacts work, so the idea is to explore this concept from a creative angle.
