*SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT* - New Magical Products Coming Soon...

Fellow Mages, Keepers of Light, and Travellers from the Stars…

Many of you who have listened to my webinars, taken my course GNOSIS, or had astrology readings with me have heard me talk about astrological talismans - one of the oldest magical tools for harnessing astral energy for manifestation, healing, and abundance.

Ancient astrologers and mages fashioned talismans by hammering esoteric, magically activated symbols and images into special metals. When imprinted into the proper metal at an astrologically precise moment, these magical gylphs will call down astral energies and spirits from the planets and stars above.

These energies and spirits will, in turn, empower the astral magician to live a life of empowerment, joy, and total flourishing for themselves and those around them - the ultimate goal of all magic.

Talismans give mages the opportunity to seek allies from the stars that can help them quickly and efficiently bolster and heal challenging parts of life. The practitioners of our craft have traditionally used talismans for good health, protection, abundance, creativity, love.

Talismans have the added benefit of lasting however long you want them to - this astral, golden grace and favor can support you for the rest of your life, if you so choose. Of course, in addition to their great utility and longevity, talismans happen to be extremely beautful.

Unfortunately, astrological talismans are hard to come by. Not many people have the tools required to fashion talismans, as well as the astrological know-how to bring down the celestial light. Additionally, the process and materials required has (hitherto) made them prohibitively expensive for many, oftentimes those most in need of their power.

Being a lover of ancient magical practices, I have wanted to engage in and offer this kind of work for a very long time. In fact, the first time I read the Picatrix cover to cover, I resolved that someday I would possess the tools and infrastructure required to engage in this traditional practice.

I am filled with delight to announce that the tools and infrastructure for traditional talisman-crafting are finally in place! I am officially offering my own talismans. As the stars and planets above continue in their dance about the sky, arraigning themselves in the proper alignments, I will call down their essences, making available and accessible for all of you.

My first line of Talismans are talismans for Venus and Jupiter. These are the two benefic, supportive, and uplifting planets of Astrology. Venus provides you with physical, material blessings - good food, good clothing, lovers, and a flourishing, healthy body. Jupiter provides you with rarified, spiritual blessings - abundance, mystical experience and profound insights, and resonant spiritual teachers that can help us on our magical paths.

These two planets are currently conjoing in the sign of Pisces. Both these already helpful, supportive planets are essentially dignified in Pisces, meaning that they are empowered to shower their blessings upon us. This alignment is quite rare - it only happens once or twice in a window of 9 months every twelve years, depending on retrograde cycles.

These are twin talismans. Jupiter and Venus are blending their loving, abundant energies within the deep, sensitive waters of Pisces. Not only are these two planets powerful in their own, right, they are mutually uplifting, supporting, and elevating the other.

The Venus and Jupiter Talismans will be available for pre-order on Monday, April 18th, one week from today. In the meantime, we will now resume our regularly scheduled daily horoscope.

P.S. I’m putting together a little piece, entitled, “what can I use Venus and Jupiter talismans for?” that will come out this Friday, April 15th, so stay tuned for that in case you’re not sure what you could use a talisman for, or if you think you know but you want to have your mind completely blown open to the possibilities."
