“If you carefully attend to the proper harmony, and harmoniously join figures together and prepare them, they will be the first matter and foundation of this work.

TALISMANS OF UNION: The Talismans of Nedeyrahe, Lord of the Sixth Mansion of the Moon. Picatrix says in the Pseudo-Pliny Mansions: “The sixth Mansion is Achaya and it is for putting love between two people. When the Moon is passing through this Mansion, make two images from white wax, make them embrace each other, and…

THE RINGS OF THE CASINO: The Second Face of Cancer, Somachalmais There was a similar election two days prior, but at my location the Moon was conjoining to Algol for all but four minutes before the electional window had elapsed. Picatrix: “There rises in the second face of Cancer a woman with a beautiful face, and on her…
