I am pleased to introduce the “Garden of Delights” talismans, an exclusive and limited collection placed under the serene skies of the Moon and Venus in Cancer.
An extremely auspicious conjunction, the Moon’s union in the second decan of her Cancer domicile with night-sect partner Venus is an exceptional opportunity for nourishment, healing and sociability.
The second decan of Cancer (10°-20°) is often represented as one of nourishment, cosy and cultivated intimacy. In the domicile of the Moon, fertile and rare, exotic plants grow - in a protected cove, we see life, ease and luxury flourish. The maternal aspects of the Moon are also emphasised and channeled to create a cosy cocoon where one can not only rest, but also feel protected as they recharge and heal all the wounds of the heart.
As these talismans will be crafted on the hour of Venus, with Venus rising as the Moon applies to her, Venusian aspects of Cancer II are deeply emphasised. Once protected & nourished, the self is encouraged to wander into the world and create fulfilling, joy-promoting social bounds of all kinds. In order to bring about the desired effects, the talismans will be consecrated over an image of Venus as described in the traditional astrological magic book, the Picatrix: “If, under the influence of Venus, you make the image of a seated woman with wings with her hair braided behind her back with two braids with two boys in her lap, in the hour of Venus, in quartz, he who carries this stone will not suffer loss or injury.” (Picatrix, Book II, Chapter 10, p. 109). This is so that in addition to the social and healing aspects of the talisman, the wearer may be completely protected from negative influences and thrive in the Moon-Venus bubble.
This talisman works on multiple levels: emotional, social and spiritual. It is deeply appropriate for those who wish to heal mother wounds, explore their own maternal side or attract nurturing figures in their lives. A promoter of social ease, it is also designed to emphasise the joyful, socialite side of Venus (the “Laughter-Loving Queen”!) This is ideal to attract carefully cultivated luxuries, a refined demeanour and lifestyle, and promote ease and happiness inside and out!
This talisman will be offered with a matching chain, and comes with a complete instruction and consecration guide in the form of a PDF.
