Lady of the Verdant Earth - Venus Talisman
Lady of the Verdant Earth - Venus Talisman
Venus as Evening Star with a waxing-crescent Moon in Taurus, four talismans were made, carved into natural, green, faceted chalcedony, only two are remaining. Venus as Evening Star in this configuration with the Moon will not occur again until April of 2034.
The intentions and telos of these beauties bring forth sensuality, and deep appreciation of the exquisite fleshiness of the world, To taste, be touched, and at once enraptured, strong, firm, and soft—the pleasures of the earth made manifest.
These talismans are for general good fortune, profound sexuality, drawing and emboding beauty, as well as talent in the arts.
The design is inspired by the image described in the Picatrix, the lady holding a apple in her right hand, and a Hellenistic magical gem depicting Aphrodite from the 1st century CE.
