Another sixteenth mansion talisman

This is now the third article about the sixteenth lunar mansion. I keep posting lunar mansions elections whenever I come across them because they cam be hard to come across. Or, whenever you come across them you're likely to wait for a while before actually getting to take advantage of the timing.

This past weekend was splendid in this respect, as I've come across too awesome elections for both the sixteenth mansion and Spica, both in the same day. The mansion elections was with the Moon rising and Spica had the Moon culminating.

I made three of each and kept one of each to myself while giving one of each to two others. Funny thing is that one of those two received a local 50 the next day from a complete stranger who asked her to use that money to buy something to eat and drink to honor his dead parents. In my case there was increased customer activity. I have yet to learn what the third recipient of the talismans experienced so far. 

Talisman - fifth lunar mansion

The fifth lunar mansion is Almizen and spans between 21*26' Taurus and 4*17' Gemini. Talismans made with its powers are good for "receiving good from kings and high officials", as the Picatrix instructs. Generally, this is a good talisman for dealing with authorities, possibly for smashing through annoying bureaucratic issues.

The image of the talisman is "the head of a man without a body" and you needn't go artistic on it as in the above image. The name of the mansion spirit is to be inscribed above the image, said name being Cabil. You can also inscribe the name of the mansion below if you want, or a waxing crescent, or both.

The date I've selected for the election is 2 Jan 2023 and keep in mind the following chart is for NYC time. You will have to adjust the chart to your location and have the Moon rising.

Talisman - sixteenth lunar mansion

Again the heavens allow for making a money talisman with the help of the sixteenth lunar mansion, Azebene (Al Zubana). The spirit of the mansion is Azeruch (Azeruel). The image to be inscribed on the talisman is a man seated on a throne holding a scale.

The election is for NYC time although I think the time the Moon spends in this mansion makes the election available on all meridians. Just make sure the Moon is in between 12*51' and 25*42' Libra and rising (on ASC) or culminating (on MC).

Dumb people can woowoo too, ya know

I! (me) am the perfect example anyone can do magix. Even more so, I'm the perfect example any idiot can write a magick book that works, which is why I ceased to be impressed by all them occult whatnots who wrote XYZ the moment I published The Magick of Astrorelationships. 

The point I'm making is if someone as dumb as myself could learn these things and put them to work successfully then I'm sure others can too, since I imagine they're not as stupid. And believe it or not, I used to be highly stupid when it came to understanding new concepts and applying them in practice. Still am on occasion. To quote Anakin Skywalker, "I'm a slow learner" and this applies both in terms of his humor, as well as in him resisting to learn things he didn't want to.

Very strong Mercury election

June 20 is a very good time to perform a Mercury ritual. While it is true there is a waning Moon, I consider this to be a less important requirement (and leave it to the so called experts to pass judgement). What is important in my opinion is that Mercury's condition at that time is kinda rare to find, as I will detail further on.

Since I wrote Los cielos se abren and detailed on general astrological requirements in there, the following chart should be helpful for people in South America tune their rituals to the appropriate time. And you can benefit from this election date even if you're not in South America by moving the chart to have Mercury on the ASC or MC.

The chart is set for Santiago, Chile:

Talisman - eleventh lunar mansion

July 1 (or 2, maybe, depending on longitude) is a good enough time for an eleventh lunar mansion talisman and anyone who bought my Los cielos se abren can use it to actively conjure the spirit of the mansion to empower the talisman. Otherwise, passing it through incense smoke while asking for it to perform such and such within the mansion's powers should do.

According to Book IV, Chapter 9 of the Picatrix, this talisman will make its bearer feared and respected by people. The same source describes the talisman image as being "the image of a man riding a lion, holding a lance in his right hand and holding the ear of the lion with his left [hand], and in front of this figure write the name of the lord of this mansion". I posted the above image just for kicks, but remember you don't have to draw an artistic image if you're not up to it. Do your best and draw the image as well as you can - do some practice drawings before then. 

The spirit of this mansion is Necol (Neciel in other sources) and the name of the mansion is Azobra, spanning between 8*35' and 21*25' Leo.

Los cielos se abren

Los cielos se abren: Magia planetaria práctica has been published and is available for everyone interested to work with planetary forces actively. More importantly, it is available for every Spanish speaking person out there because it's written in Spanish and will only be available in Spanish. 

I know, I know, I said I was done with writing. And I am! It's just that for some time now I've been receiving messages from people with Spanish as a native tongue asking me if I'll ever write a book on planetary magick that will be available in their language. I wasn't planning to, until I got the last message, then it came to me!

There's a lot of Spanish speaking people out there who don't speak English and most occult material is solely available in English. Goes to show how much them self-proclaimed experts, teachers and occult role models really care about spreading knowledge, even if they'd benefit from it financially... All they see are their immediate needs and it seems I was right about their narrow perspective in regards to woowoo, since it's clear it also applies in other areas too. Tough luck, dumbasses! As someone from around here whom I used to consider a dumbass used to say, "Should I give them my brain? I can't *shrug*" so that's that.

Picatrix decan talismans

Mars has entered its decan in Pisces and afterwards it will enter its decan in Aries. Besides the obvious increase in the planet's strength, in the former case due to triplicity and decan and in the latter by its domicile and decan, this is a good time for decan talismans.

Talisman - sixteenth lunar mansion

The following is a not so perfect election for the sixteenth lunar mansion. The following descriptions of the mansion appears in Book IV, Chapter 9 of the Picatrix:

"The sixteenth Mansion is Azebene, and it is for the making of money. When the Moon has passed around to this Mansion, fashion in a plate of silver the figure of a man seated in a throne and carrying a scale in his hands. Cense [the image] with fine odors, and set it out under the stars for seven nights, saying each night: 'You, Azeruch, make such and such happen for me, and complete for me my request'. Ask of it pertaining to selling and earning. And know that Azeruch is the name of the lord of this Mansion."

More feedback

About a month ago I got contacted by someone wanting to improve their financial situation and, if possible, their amorous life as well. It just so happened I had already posted this third lunar mansion election and so we decided the person was going to make the talisman. I shared that time based on their location and also threw in another election for the seventh mansion. So the client went ahead and did them both.

A short while afterwards I got this:

And then, upon them telling me they also saved money on their vet bill, they made it even clearer:

ASTERIA 2

Asteria Unveiled: Celestial mysteries revealed 

Has finally published by Lord Manticore. FINALLY!!!

This is the followup volume to Asteria, a work that branches out from its predecessor and expands on various applications of astrology in magick. Even though some concepts presented inside come with short explanations, the material requires people to be readily aware of it since it was explained in detail in Asteria. So if you are not familiar with those concepts you could read Asteria first or look up whatever information you require using various other sources when you come across it in the second book. 

Asteria Unveiled addresses both older concepts which it masterfully discusses in new ways, and newer ones which it thoroughly details, offering more than enough information for people to enrich their magical practices. There were cases where it was necessary to skip over most of the explanations and not because we're jerks or anything, but because they would require entire volumes and, truth be told, it would make a pretty much boring read anyway. As a result, we injected the text with highly concentrated small doses of explanations just so readers would understand the concepts presented. So although this book has less number of pages than Asteria, the highly concentrated doses of knowledge it contains would keep people busy for a long time.

Talisman - third lunar mansion 2

Back in the initial article on the third lunar mansion talisman I mentioned not everyone can use that particular election. I also said those who can't use that election because geographical reasons can do one on March 6. At the same time, I said this second election is not as pretty as the initial one because the chart overall is not as smooth as that one.

Talisman - third lunar mansion

The third lunar mansion is Al-Thurayya which according to the Picatrix spans from 25*42'52'' Aries to 8*34'18'' Taurus. In Book I, Chapter 1 it is said that talismans made using this lunar mansion are for:

"...the safety of those who travel by sea, for sabotaging a partnership, for releasing a prisoner or torturing him, for the beneficial use of chemistry and fire, for hunting, for promoting friendship and love between spouses, for destroying sheep, goats and cows, and for a slave to disobey his master until he is released. This type of talisman usually brings good luck."

People usually make this talisman for general good luck and love so you can do it for either of them or for any of the other reasons mentioned above.

Mars talisman experiment + bonus

After Venus (which it'd be best if you read first), Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun, here's the article for Mars' planetary square talisman from Agrippa. Good ol' Cornelius wrote the following of this kamea:

"The third table belongs to Mars, which is made of a square of four containing twenty five numbers, and of these in every side and Diameter five, which make sixty five, and the sum of all is 325. And there are over it Divine names with an Intelligence to good, with a spirit to bad, and out of it is drawn the Character of Mars, and of his spirits. These with Mars being fortunate, being engraven on an Iron plate, or sword, makes a man potent in war, and judgments, and petitions, and terrible to his enemies, and victorious against them; and if engraven upon the Stone Correola, it stops blood, and the mestrues [menses]; but if it be engraven with Mars being unfortunate, on a plate of red Brass, it hinders buildings, casts down the powerfull from dignities, honors, and riches, and causeth discord, strife, and hatred of men, and beasts, chaseth away Bees, Pigeons, and Fish, and hinders Mils, and renders them unfortunate that go forth to hunting, or fighting, and causeth barreness in men and women, and other Animals, and strikes a terror in all enemies, and compels them to submit."

Here's the kamea itself:

The election time for this talisman is Monday, February 7, 2022 at 9:32am GMT:

Sun talisman experiment + bonuses

This article follows those on Venus (which it'd be best if you read first), Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn regarding the use of planetary squares as talismans, as per Agrippa. We've seen the articles on Mercury and Jupiter containing a bonus in the form of an additional decanal talisman that can be made using the astro elections I provided. This article will have two bonuses, meaning a decanal talisman and another talisman I will detail upon.

Agrippa writes of the solar kamea: 

"The fourth table is of the Sun, and is made of a square of six, and contains thirty six numbers, whereof six in every side, and Diameter, produce 111, and the sum of all is 666. There are over it divine names with an Intelligency to what is good, with spirit to what is evil, and out of it is drawn Characters of the Sun, and the spirits thereof. This being engraven on a Golden plate with the Sun being fortunate, renders him that wears it to be renowned, amiable, acceptable, potent in all his works, and equals a man to Kings, and Princes, elevating him to high fortunes, inabling to do whatsoever he pleaseth: but with an unfortunate Sun, it makes a tyrant, and a man to be proud, ambitious, unsatisfiable, and to have an ill ending."

Jupiter talisman experiment + bonus

It seems that after the Venus (which it'd be best if you read first) and Mercury articles about these talismans I do have to go ahead and write one for each of the other planets. Just my luck... Keep in mind these articles are about the planetary squares from Agrippa's Book II, Chapter XXII and experimenting with them as talismans the way Agrippa wrote. Simply go to the previous two articles (especially the Venus one) and see more in depth instructions. However, you can use the astrological election times I'm providing in these articles to perform other magical operations with the forces of the respective planets. 

Moving on, we come to Jupiter and Agrippa wrote the following relating to it square:

"The second is called the table of Jupiter, which consists of a Quaternian drawn into it self [i.e. 4 times 4], containing sixteen particular numbers, and in every line, and Diameter four, making thirty four. Now the Sum of all is 136. And there are over it divine names with an Intelligence to good, with a spirit to bad, and out of it is drawn the Character of Jupiter, and the spirits thereof. They say that if it be impressed upon a Silver plate with Jupiter being powerfull, and ruling, it conduceth to gain, and riches, favor, and love, peace, and concord, and to appease enemies, to confirm honors, dignities, and counsels, and dissolve enchantments if it be engraven on a corall."

Mercury talisman experiment + bonus

I was going to leave the Venus article I posted the other day as a stand alone one, but upon hearing news yet again of people charging money for occult services done at highly awful astro times based on the planet in question, I decided to allocate additional time in this direction. I noticed that calling out people saying they're stupid isn't working, being like a small drop of awareness raising in a vast occult ocean of gullibility and fraud, so I will merely put these articles up and whoever is to see them is free to make use of this information or discard it.

Since the occult service I've referred to revolved around a Mercury operation, I will go ahead and continue with good ol' Cornelius Agrippa's magic square talismans, this post being allocated to Mercury. Here is the square of Mercury from Book II, Chapter XXII of his Three Books of Occult Philosophy:

The text relating to such a talisman says the following:

Helping hand

Dear Show-offs, 

Having been blunt towards you and your ways with respect to talking out your asses and selling crap pentacles, I hereby take it upon myself to help you with them pesky astrological elections you're both ignorant of and all-out dismissing in the most shameless, pathetic way, even when faced with the reality of receiving awful feedback from people. This is not to be understood I think all your work is wack and produces no results or worse! I think you're simply conducting some of your work with extreme irresponsibility with respect to timing because the more the merrier. Because show me the money, right? So pay attention now.

I'm sure this is not the best election possible, but I've done it on the go on my phone by using a simple free astro site and a planetary hours one. So all you'd need to know is the essential dignities and make use of them as best as possible. Otherwise, buy an advanced software that'll calculate the best goddamn elections evah. But again, you'd have to wait for longer so b-bye money... 

The Picatrix Experiment

Earlier this week I was looking up some easy scholastic image talismans for someone and an election time that would preferably be sooner than later. The Picatrix seemed like a good source, since Book I details on such talismans in Chapters 10, 11, and 12. Lo and behold, I quickly found the one! The second decan of Taurus, decan of the Moon. I made this selection based on the powers of the decan and the fact that the Moon moves quickly through the signs, something that is very useful for these talismans, as I will be detailing further on. 

The Arabic version of the Picatrix has this to say about the decan in question:

"In the second phase of Taurus, we find the image of a man whose body and face look like those of a camel, his nails similar to the hoof of a cow, wearing an old garment, interested in developing land and buildings, and using cows for planting and cultivation. This is the phase of the Moon; it is a phase of ability, honor, vice-regency, destruction and oppression of constituency."

The Latin version of the Picatrix mentions:

"A man like the figure of a camel and having on his fingers are hooves like those of cows, and he is covered completely with a torn linen sheet. He desires to work the land, to sow, and to make things. And this is a face of nobility, power, and of rewarding the people."
