I am coming of the opinion that lodestone is co-ruled by the Sun. It commands iron to move from a distance.

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…

THE RINGS OF THE DRAGONFIRE KISS: The talisman of Venus in Libra, embraced by the Sun and conjoined with the Dragon’s Head. This was one hell of an experimental election. It’s one of the potentially strongest Venus elections possible masquerading as one of the worst. Let’s start with the basics. Venus Day but not Hour,…

Animal, vegetable, and mineral. The threefold circuit is what completes magic. This is true in the science of ymages, and appears in Hoodoo as well in the construction of mojo bags. I wonder how many magical traditions use this secret to greater power.

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 SPLENDOR: The talismans of Zachor, the 2nd Face of Leo. As indicated elsewhere, this was a highly experimental talisman. It not only used a somewhat imperfect election, but the decan’s attributes are largely unpleasant. And yet, I believe it is actually rather desirable in extreme. “There rises in the second face of Leo…

THE RINGS OF LIBERATION: Sun in Leo. This is a good solid Sun talisman, which I make every year. Sun Day but not Sun Hour, planet in domicile but not triplicity, Moon fast and unafflicted though cadent, Sun unafflicted. The Moon’s Sign Ruler is cadent as well, and normally I’d deem this a problem but…

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…

THE RINGS OF THE GREEN LION: Mercury in Gemini Picatrix Rubeus page 109: “If, under the influence of Mercury, you make the image of a lion in emerald… in the hour of Mercury, Mercury rising in Gemini… whoever has this image will evade infirmities and fear, and good things will be said of them.” I…

THE RINGS OF ABUNDANCE: Jupiter in Exaltation, Moon sextile Jupiter This was what I suspect was the last valid Jupiter exaltation election for the next decade or more. The details of this election are slightly unusual in many ways. Jupiter ascended on Jupiter day. The Moon was making applying benevolent aspects to both Jupiter and…
