Traditional Astrology, Magic, and Sundry Matters
Some exciting news! I have added some lunar mansion talismans to the catalogue.
I hope to be making many more in the not-so-distant future, but in the meantime you can find some new talismans for success, love and sex in the Talismans section of this website.
Here is an election of the 13th Lunar Mansion, Al Awwa, for erotic love, to undo issues that prevent the consummation of a marriage or relationship, and for the removal of curses that prevent a man (or woman) from the enjoyment of sexual pleasure.

Here is an election of the 7th Lunar Mansion, al-Dhira for luck, success in business and for the fulfillment of all earthly desires. You can find more information about the Lunar Mansions here.
“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 diametre, produce 111, and the sum of all is 666. There are over it divine names with an Intelligence to what is good, with a 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, enabling to do whatsoever he pleaseth ...” Henry Cornelius Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy
The Sun recently ingressed into his own sign of Leo. Here the Sun expresses itself in its most powerful and unrestrained form. Being at home in Leo, the Sun is relaxed, magnanimous and more likely to listen to petitions.
Mars recently entered his domicile in Aries where he is due to remain until 6 January next year. Part of this time, from 9 September to 13 November, Mars will be retrograde, but we can use his direct movement to make talismans for strength, courage, healing, self-defence and protection, and healing from various kinds of illnesses.
“From the operations of Mercury, they made an image at the hour of Mercury, Mercury ascending in Gemini, the form of which was a handsome young man, bearded, having in his left hand a rod in which a serpent is twined about, in his right carrying a dart, having his feet winged. They report that this image confers knowledge, eloquence, diligence in merchandising and gain; moreover to beget peace and concord, and to cure fevers…” – Henry Cornelius Agrippa. Book 2, Chapter 43, Three Books of Occult Philosophy translated by Joseph H Peterson via his Esoteric Archives.
Mercury recently entered his own sign of Gemini recently and will remain in his sign until the 28th of this month. This is a very good time to make talismans and to do magic to increase business, for gambling and speculation, to improve one’s understanding and intelligence, to magnify one’s ability to learn and study, to develop one’s divinatory and precognitive abilities, or to contact spirits through dreams.
“[Saturn] rules profound sciences, and the science of laws and seeking out the causes and roots of things and their effects, and speaking of wonders and understanding deep and secret qualities… When he is in good disposition and in his exaltation, however, he signifies purity, length of life, exaltation, joy, honour, wealth, inheritance, and the transmission of inheritances to sons and nephews.”– Picatrix, translated by John Michael Greer and Christopher Warnock
This is a rather pleasant (well, about a pleasant as Saturn is likely to get) election to create a Saturn talisman. Saturn is never going to be an easy planet to deal with, but it is my experience that Saturn in Aquarius is a little easier to manage than Saturn in Capricorn.
This is an experimental election based upon the election for wealth and abundance described by the great Sabian polymath Thabit ibn Qurra in his book on astrological magic De Imaginibus. For a discussion on who Thabit ibn Qurra was, and a detailed description of his election for wealth, see my earlier post here.

The following is an election from the Picatrix for the creation of enduring love using image magic and the mathematical relationship which exists between “amicable numbers”.
Seek from Mars … concerning infirmities of the body from the groin downwards, and also for phlebotomy, accumulation of gas, and the like. – Picatrix II.7, transl .John Michael Greer & Christopher Warnock
This is a rather pleasant election for Mars while he is exalted in Capricorn.
