I love the idea that talismans can change with time--and even that they can be eaten! There’s a certain incense that seems to get my creative juices flowing. A talisman for every sense!
Of course I'm a sucker for anything that mentions Fibonacci. But also, you haven't mentioned another category of talisman: the Edible Talisman! For a couple of years many years ago, my writing talisman was my lucky scone. I would get one from this bagel shop (yes, they sold scones too) and bring it back to my desk with a cup of coffee and THEN I could write.

Linking food to my writing--talismans or reward--is a slippery slope for me because I already nomnomnom through too many things.
