These Venus-Saturn Talismans, The Door to the Golden Kingdom, are aligned with an individualistic and aesthetic nature, and grant the ability to pursue one’s true will, unburdened by collective moral or ethical ideologies, offering a unique balance. Equally, they strengthen the personal conviction to create lasting manifestations shaped by one’s insights, directives, and unique perspectives.

I would recommend these talismans to those that are desiring to understand their own nature and its will, especially if they wish to be free of that particular form of self-doubt fuelled by worrying about what others think or value. These talismans cultivate a healthy detachment and contentment with self.  

They are best suited for a person who has done the intentional work of stabilising a healthy ego and no longer succumbs to delusions of grandeur easily. 

If you have any questions about the personal suitability of these talismans or about what I have written here, please do not hesitate to reach out.

From the general perspective of traditional western astral magic this series is unconventional at best, and, perhaps in the view of some, outright astral witchcraft. However valid I may find both of these assessments, as a contemporary practitioner of the astral-magical arts, I think that it is important to note that they were initiated by daemonic impulses that lead to necessitated explorations into the divine expressions of eros and the erotic.

Traditionally, Saturn is strong in Aquarius at home in his diurnal-masculine sign, offering an active, idiosyncratic strength of character and conviction. Venus in Aquarius brings an increased focus on the aesthetic and offers a vision of the beauty that is possible when a unique direction is pursued. Equally, this is a more detached Venus than we may be used to, allowing such pursuits to manifest that might otherwise not be valued by others.

These talismans emerged from an extended working with Venus that began with the superior conjunction of late October 2022 at 02 Scorpio which was also marked by partial solar eclipse in the same sign. Bear in mind, It is with the superior conjunction that Venus later emerges as an evening star.

This work was ongoing until April of the next year and concluded Venus in Taurus. While several of the talismanic works that I undertook during this time were focused on Venus exclusively, such as those in Pisces and in Taurus, the two in this series were focused on taking the planets of the related conjunction simultaneously as distinctive and in synthesis. Thus both are two-sided, bearing the kamea of the two planets. Simultaneously, two and one.

This talisman is crafted with locally-sources black jet due primarily to its Saturnian associations and bears the kamea of Saturn on one side with that of Venus on the other. 

The election features a Libra ascendant, and the conjunction is moving towards prominence in the fifth house of Venus’ Joy. This is the house of pleasure and pleasurable pursuits. The final consecration was conducted during a Venus Planetary Hour.

Each talisman was made wearable by the addition of 14k-rolled-gold on brass pinch bail and comes with a jute bag of sympathetic materia which can act as suitable home when not in use and some of the materia can be used as part of a personal consecration when you are ready to first engage with the talisman.
