Elections

THE RINGS OF THE FORTUNATE MYSTIC: Fortunated Moon applying to conjoin Alcyone culminating with the North Node Ascending in Perfection. I’d long ago nearly given up on finding a good Pleiades talismanic election, but stumbled across this one so close to the date that I’m glad that I’d ordered a few quartz crystal rings for…
-
VENUS PETITON: Venus and Moon in Taurus, Cancer ASC, Moon triumphed, Venus sextile ASC. Talismanic elections have been few and far between of late, and I’m taking a break from curse talismans for a while– so that leaves petitions. This one was slightly experimental. Now, the key with petitions as opposed to talismans is that…

THE TALISMANS OF THE ANGEL WITH THE BACKWARDS HEAD: Strong Capella election with the ASC Ruler Retrograde. So, I never post talismanic elections in the future that I intend to use because I find that ruins them. I won’t be using this one. “Horehound seed mixed with equal parts of mint, wormwood and mandrake, placed…
-
THE TALISMANS OF OH F*** NOT THAT: Algol Ascending, Moon Ascending, Moon besieged, Saturn opposing the ASC. I’m not making this one because I’d like to live to see 2016. But it’s pretty brutal. Enjoy.

THE RINGS OF TRIUMPHING LIGHT: Sun in Domicile Ascending, Fortunes in the 1st House. This was a particularly meaningful and powerful election, made in the hours immediately before my mother’s gravestone unveiling ceremony, one day after the third anniversary of her death. Her epitaph was “She was like the Sun; overflowing with beauty, warmth, and…

DEFIXIOS OF BURNING HATRED: Moon in 5th Mansion, combust, besieged, Cancer ascending. Fifth Mansion effects include “to destroy the friendship between two people” in Picatrix, when the principal planets are afflicted. Some contend that combustion and/or besiegement are limited by Sign boundaries; I disagree. This election has both, a fairly toxic combo. Cancer is also…

THE RINGS OF THE SERPENT OF HEALING: The Eighteenth Mansion Triumphed, with the North Node Rising. This was somewhat borderline, but I was encouraged by advice from tarot to make six rings of this configuration. “The eighteenth Mansion is Alcab, and it is for taking away fevers and infirmities of the belly. When the Moon…
-
THE TALISMANS OF AWESTRUCK DREAD: 11th Lunar Mansion with Mars. This is one of those experimental elections which either curse the living shit out of me or work fabulously. Somebody needs to test this stuff out, might as well be me. Kids, don’t try this at home! The Moon is slow, too slow to normally…

GEMS OF BEDAZZLING ARDOR: The Talismans of the Twenty-Sixth Mansion. PICATRIX RUBEUS page 292: “When the Moon is passing through it, take white wax and mastic and melt them together; from these fashion the image of a woman with her hair unbound and before her a vessel placed as if to receive her hair. Suffumigate it…

THE RINGS OF THE KISS OF DARKNESS: Venus in Zero Scorpio, Cazimi. [I am only including this post, unedited, for historical purposes. This was one of the dumbest, riskiest, and most malefic talismans I’ve ever created. It did not work as intended, but was a magnet for terrible misfortune. Awful.] This is the first set…
