Anonymous rating

Magick Pills for Hard Transits got an anonymous 3* rating recently and I want to thank the person who gave it that rating for doing so ! I would've felt better if they added a review to it though, something that would allow other to know the reason why it deserves 3*. The same applies for the 5* rating it got and for any other possible rating it would get.

Don't get me wrong now, for I am not bothered by this rating. I find it decent. But I for one would've liked additional feedback from the reader. I suspect he or she was unsatisfied by the book(let)'s length, or the information contained inside of it that is offered in a more general manner. I understand that, but this text was initially supposed to be part of Nick's Hermetic Tablet. As such, it had to respect certain criteria, including length, so I did my best to compress the information as much as possible in order to respect said criteria, while presenting all the important pieces of information at the same time. 

Decan talisman - third decan of Capricorn

Another decan talisman from the Picatrix has caught my attention lately, this time from the Latin version: the third decan of Capricorn, decan of Sol. The text mentions the following about said decan:

"A man holding a book and opening and closing it, and having before the book the tail of a fish. And this is a face of riches, the accumulation of money and the ascent of business affairs tending toward a good end." - image from Scion's article on the subject.

Naturally, consecrating the talisman for these purposes is in order. 

Decan talisman - first decan of Sagittarius

Here's an easy to do scholastic image talisman from the Picatrix - Book I, Chapter 11, Arabic version. It's a talisman for the first decan of Sagittarius and I'm putting it out there for anyone interested in making it.

As in my previous article, the Picatrix instructs that the primary condition for making these talismans is to have the decan Lord (ruler) in the decan of choice. Mercury enters the first decan of Sagittarius on Dec 1 at 8pm GMT and it exits it on Dec 8 between 5 and 6am GMT, so you'd have about a week's time to do it. 

The Picatrix description of this decan is the following:

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." 

Thank you!

When I first started this blog I didn't think it'll have too many viewers. As a consequence, I didn't take it too seriously for a while. But views started to add up one after another and now they've gone past 3000. 

So I want to thank the people who took their time to go through this blog, even briefly! All the best to you guys&gals!

Teaser

 

I  think I received approval to add this teaser of the project I'm currently working on. This is the project I was referring to in *this* post, something that has a tremendous potential. Hopefully it will be made public by December. Hopefully! Therefore, I'm in Eight of Pentacles X Eight of Pentacles mode now.

The Hand of Karma

I'm taking a brief break from working on the fantastic project that's been keeping me extremely busy for the past couple of months to post this quick article. A few months ago I was asked to intervene in a situation one of my cousins was confronting.

In short, his wife was leaving him and she wanted to take away his son. She had no permanent place to stay and she was going to drag the boy through all sorts of shady locations. It seemed nothing can change the situation because the woman had been brainwashing the child ever since he was an infant, turning him against his father constantly. As a result, the child was not only reluctant to stay with the father, but constantly rejected him.
