Ganesh - Lord of Success

This is the necklace I wear every day, and I mean every day. It was a present from my mother years ago and despite many repairs and recoveries, he's still surviving. I'm an atheist so it has no religious significance other than I studied Hinduism in my first year at university and enjoyed it very much. I once worked with someone who's beliefs were very 'individual' She looked at this necklace and said, " That jade is sooo dirty!" Thinking I'd got my lunch on it, I said I'd put it under the tap at the first opportunity. "No!", she said, "It needs to be bathed in the moonlight." It was like being trapped in a song by Gong.
