Amulet- An ornament or small piece of jewelry thought to give protection against evil, anger or disease, power for stirring creative juices for new ideas, and bringing love and hope to a dreary life.

Entering our dome, our guests are invited to emboss letters, numbers, and symbols onto a brass plate (aka dog tag) or a brass disc; creating an Amulet to carry with them around their neck, or perhaps to gift to another.
