Mars talismans for protection

I made only two Mars talismans for protection. The reason for this is that I have not found other crystals in the shop suitable to be used as talisman basis. Yes, I personally go to the crystal shop and carefully study crystals before purchasing, instead of ordering online. The reason for this is I want to make sure they are of a size suitable for inscribing, they are as smooth as possible and that they have little to no internal cracks that may cause break when inscribed or carried about. 

Following 777, I used ruby crystals. Each crystal was inscribed with the astrological glyph of Mars alongside the divine name Adonai (Aleph-Daleth-Nun-Yod), as per good ol' Cornelius' as well as Uncle Al's works.

Prices: 

$180 + shipping / talisman

$350 + shipping / 2 talismans 

Each talisman will be accompanied by a presentation and instructions of use. The prices are higher in this case because ruby crystals are more expensive, even in their rough form.

Third lunar mansion talismans for all good things

Al Thurayya spans between 25°42' Aries and 8°34' Taurus. The purpose for these talismans is the acquisition of all good things. 

Prices:

$150 + shipping / talisman 

$300 + shipping / 2 talismans

$420 + shipping / 3 talismans 

$540 + shipping / 4 talismans 

$600 + shipping / 5 talismans 

Each talisman will be accompanied by a presentation and instructions of use.

Sixth lunar mansion talismans for love

This mansion spans between 4°81' and 17°08' Gemini. The purpose for this mansion talisman is the creation of love between two people. Unlike in the case of the previous mansion talisman for love, I've made five talismans this time.

Prices:

$150 + shipping / talisman 

$300 + shipping / 2 talismans

$420 + shipping / 3 talismans 

$540 + shipping / 4 talismans 

$600 + shipping / 5 talismans 

Each talisman will be accompanied by a presentation and instructions of use.

26th lunar mansion talisman for love

This mansion spans between 21°25' Aquarius and 04°17' Pisces. The purposes for this particular lunar mansion talismans are love and friendship, but for this talisman I have chosen love alone, to focus its force towards a single goal. I have made only one such talisman for now and others may follow. 

Price: $150 + shipping

The talisman will be accompanied by a presentation and instructions of use.

Water talismans for beneficial elemental influences

These four Water talismans have been made for the sole purpose of having their users benefit from all beneficial energies and influences of the element. A limitation was added to prevent its wearer and their loved ones from experiencing unpleasant effects. 

Prices: 

$130 + shipping / talisman

$260 + shipping / 2 talismans 

$360 + shipping / 3 talismans

$440 + shipping / 4 talismans 

Each talisman will be accompanied by a presentation and instructions of use.

Air talisman for improving communication

I have made a single Air talisman just for improving communication. Others may follow depending on demand. Based on 777, I used topaz for this particular talisman. More exactly, I used white topaz since I found it favors the intellect and mental clarity, both being great assets in communication. As before, a limitation was added to prevent its wearer and their loved ones from experiencing unpleasant effects.

Price: $130 + shipping 

The talisman will be accompanied by a presentation and instructions of use.

Self reflection: softcore & hardcore

Note: this is the first article I've written in which I enabled a blog feature that automatically inserts search links into the text, other than the ones I add myself, so I have no idea if it will be more or less helpful for readers. 

I came across people saying professional psychological help should go hand in hand with magical training. It has the benefit of allowing the magician to better identify internal blockages and overcome them easier. I for one don't doubt that. Instead, I doubt the ability of many psychologists out there who, to me, do nothing more than parrot paragraphs from Freud. I also think they are unable, more like inept at adapting their knowledge and expertise on a case by case basis and instead try to force each case to fit the theoretical models they've memorized.

Therefore, I've always found such help more of a hindrance. I also dislike psychology as a whole for reasons having to do with my background in researching conspiracies and from having observed its impact on society in a case by case observation over the years. I do not adhere to the magical psychological model although I recognize the microcosmic role and influence within the magical act itself. Furthermore, I've never followed a predetermined magical curriculum, derived from structured magical orders, where inner work also has psychological components. Instead, I've carved my own path into the unknown.

When it comes to psychology, I found that I was more drawn to the Jungian teachings solely because they best suited my needs and I felt comfortable using that framework. Even so, I don't reduce otherworldly entities to archetypes from my unconscious or something. At best, I'd say those inner archetypes are complementary to those entities existing outside of one's personal sphere, something akin to being their reflections. "As above, so below" and all that.

Better luck next time

Venus has just been cazimi in Capricorn last Tuesday while Mars is currently cazimi in the same sign. Funny, this year each of the two experiences cazimi in the other's day and very close together. It would have been an amazing opportunity for performing rituals involving the two planets, not to mention making Venusian and Martian talismans. Unfortunately, several factors made that opportunity turn sour, at least for me.

Firstly, Venus, Sun and Mars are all in Capricorn, the sign of Mars' exaltation, meaning both Venus and the Sun are being received by Mars. This would be welcomed since Mars is feeling great here, but it is combust during Venus cazimi and Venus-Sun conjunction also applies to conjunct Mars very closely. This gives a heightened note of volatility to an otherwise very pleasant event.

Article on house differences

Ho ho ho!

Una ragazza molto speciale, who should have her own blog but doesn't (uffa!), joins me as we close off the year with this article discussing the importance of house differences, especially in magical affairs. It aims to help people gain a better understanding of why magical work involving celestial forces is either endorsed or hindered depending on where the force of choice is located in the chart at the moment of ritual. 

For the sake of simplicity only planets are mentioned, but the same principles apply to stars and constellations, zodiac signs, even lunar mansions.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Another astrology article

Mr Farrell's occult training blog contains another article written by yours truly. It deals with signs and houses, making a comparison between the two and pointing out similarities, but most of all, differences. It's something I've been guilty of for a while after I began studying astrology. You will also find it to the left of the page.

On another, somewhat related note, some sissy group from northern Italy calling themselves Fart Smelling Society or some other fucked up name have accused Mr Nixter of using AI to generate so many articles in such a short time. This implies my own articles are AI. 

Atttenzione sfigati! I know you're bunch of lame ass cosplaying fucktards fooled into believing you're being part of one big happy family who spend your money on feeding the fake news hog in charge of that whole charade. Paying 1500 euros for a wack tarot class speaks for itself when you can learn a great deal more for free from the lamest youtube vids on the topic. 

Horary reading

This is going to be a lengthy article and I hate writing them as much as I hate reading them, especially now that I have to deal with a lot in my personal life, but I consider it necessary.

Some time ago someone asked me why I don't do horary as a service if I do elections. I told the person I've not the experience to interpret a horary chart since I'm unfamiliar with all its many quirks and how they worth together. Truth be told I haven't found it necessary to go into it. But things may change at some point with recent events and a backstory is needed. 

A little over a month ago a man contacted me asking me to expose his ex wife's secrets to him, mostly those regarding their marital relationship. He and the woman divorced earlier this year and he had most of his reasons straightened, but his gut feeling told him there may be more to it than the accusations he held against her.

Patience required

Things ahead look ok in terms of planetary elections, depending on the planets you want to work with. While in the case of one planet people should rush to make the best of it, most others require patience before we would be able to benefit from their increased strength.

The Sun is traveling through Cancer where it has no dignity. Best wait a few more weeks for it to enter Leo and benefit from domicile and triplicity.

The Moon is waxing and about to enter Virgo where it is dignified by triplicity. Unfortunately this waxing phase takes it through falling falling Scorpio, culminating with its fullness in exile in. Capricorn.

Algorab election

Algorab is curently at 13°47' Libra. According to Agrippa, for this star "…they made the image of a Raven, or Snake, or of a Black Man cloathed in black; this maketh a man cholerick, bold, courageous, full of thoughts, a backbiter, and causeth naughty dreams; also it giveth the power of driving away evil spirits, and of gathering them together; it is profitable against the malice of Men, Devils and Winds."

I happened to come by this amazing election by chance while searching for other auspicious times for my long term planning. Algorab is rising, with the waxing Moon "right on top of it" while separating from a square with a beautifully placed Jupiter.

If you're from my neck of the woods and want to give it a shot, knock yourself out!

Procyon election

Procyon is currently at 26°08' Cancer. This fixed star "gives grace before God and man, renders a man pleasing to the spirits of the Air, gives great power against magic and preserves health."

Thusly, fashioning a Procyon talisman at an auspicious time would benefit one for the long run, provided the timing is good. Also, it would be best to make the talisman for just one purpose, instead of charging it for everything its good for (as some do, which makes me wonder how they apparently work so well provided the its energies have to split into multiple ways to achieve multiple goals). 

At any rate, we see Procyon rising with the waxing Moon applying to a partile conjunction to it. The Moon is separating from a square with Venus and applying to a sextile with Uranus. 

For working with fixed stars you can check out my class that will also help you come up with good elections. Otherwise, contact me for an election in case you're willing to work with the stars, but like me you hate to have to learn from classes, hehe.

Pisces rules feet

In this article on melothesia I'll present a successful experiment I performed at the start of the current year. This time, instead of making an elixir and giving it to the one in need, I sent the spirit directly to the person to do the job.

The subject is a male who's been experiencing swollen feet for the last several years. The causes were not some some form of illness but things like diet and lack of physical exercise. Nevertheless, the man continued having swollen feet even after he made a drastic change in diet and routine to the point he found it cumbersome to walk.

Demon duo

"Pop quiz, hotshot. Venus is in exile and going retro, but you want to make your hot neighbor fall for you. What do you do? What do you do?"

With the Venus post-retro article out of the way tis a good time to document the following.

I've seen desperate people buying Venus talismans made by wannabes when the planet was in exile only for things to blow up in their face. I've talked about it more than once. Same goes for paying someone to cast a Venus ritual for them when the planet is very weak and I've tested it for myself several times - the results can be tremendously overwhelming, the wrong way.

I've had success for beneficial purposes with Venus in Scorpio, but that ritual was specifically tailored for someone working in the sex industry. Even so, I had to select a very precise timing otherwise things might have gone tits up.

What do you do?

Venus post-retro

Venus will be retrograde between March 2 and April 13, between 10°50' Aries and 24°37' Pisces. It will thus do an about face in its sign of exile and return into that of its exaltation.

Naturally, beneficial magical operations involving the planet's forces should be avoided during this time. Unless you're a money hungry wannabe who sells stuff made irrespective of astro times. Anyway, Venus' return into Pisces shouldn't raise our hopes too much either.

Ominous Christmas astro forecast

The chart is set for my location at noon sharp, but take heed of this aspect even if you're living further to the west or east. Moon in Scorpio is not such a pleasant time for a holiday. I imagine families getting together in larger or smaller numbers and instead of enjoying themselves, they may end up remembering old grudges and settling old scores.

Additionally, this Christmas will bless us with a not so beautiful Moon square Mars retro. Mars in Leo can be tyrant or at least extremely bossy and the fact it's retro will probably cause people to boil with rage. They will probably release that rage in the form of venomous stings toward others so you can imagine this isn't the best setting for a holiday gathering. I wouldn't exclude termpers to flair as well, but I suspect the former scenario is more likely to play out. Nevertheless, do be careful and try drinking yourself to sleep instead of into a fight (like someone I know).

To complicate matters even more, the Moon's transit through Scorpio begins with a harsh square with Pluto. This should cast an underlying uneasy feeling of compulsiveness over people, somethig totally not good to begin the festivities with.

The aspect will be exact around late afternoon, early evening my time, just when people are usually in the midst of thir Christmas dinner, hence why I've chosen this timezone for the chart. But be aware of it regardless of timezone, especially if you start partying early on or party well into the night.

Eclipse effects

You can find out more about this phenomenon in our article on eclipses as well as in Asteria 1, as well as in an article in Asteria 2.

On April 8 this year there was a total solar eclipse over North America. I remember telling Señor Shaman and Mr. Farrell at the time I foresee a tremendous change for the US for the long run. That change seems to have manifested with last month's elections, but I'm sure it had been brewing ever since the ominous event.

A solar eclipse is said to cause the death of kings, or at least their fall from power. In our day and age this would translate to people in power, such as presidents or prime ministers depending on the constitution. Suddenly, some time after the eclipse the president in office announced he would not run for the upcoming elections and instead his VP would run instead.

Ohnevel

Ohnevel is one of the angels of the Shemhamphorash and is said to "protect against accidents, maintain health and heal, dominate trade and businessmen, influence business". According to some sources he is attributed to the half-decan 10°-15° Taurus. 

I've worked with him in the past for business related stuff, with little to no success. Recently something came up and, since the chart was awful for other forces I would've worked with in such a case, I decided to work with him instead. This time I called on him for healing.
