Not many people really understand these terms:

*Joss

*Ju-Ju

* Ka (That's sometimes spelled "Kah," but I like to keep things simple.)

*Kharma

* Mojo

* Fate

* Luck

Flip a coin ten times and get ten tails in a row. What are the odds on the next flip? (The odds are still 50-50, the same as when you started.) What will give you eleven tails in a row is "joss."

I have a collection of "joss sticks" and I'll burn one every now and then to exorcise the demons from my life. I can't see where they've done much good with my joss, but they smell nice once you light them. Kinda like good luck insense.
