TALISMANS FOR SALE!! LEO’s you Don’t Want to miss this!

A student of mine who is currently undergoing the complete process for DSIC made me aware of a VERY potent Sun election which occurred today at Sunrise. Naturally this was an opportunity I could not miss!
Under the same process of Drawing Spirits into Crystals, I got in contact with archangel Michael and subordinate solar spirits and angels. In crafting these rare talismans, formulas were utilized (sufumigation blends and Invocations) from the Veritable Key of Solomon by Stephen Skinner and David Rankine. The talismans which I created are some VERY potent Sun talismans, using authentic calf parchment paper, some regular parchment paper, and very last of my LION SKIN. I wasn’t able to spend time on exact detail as I was working within the Sun’s time frame and with the limited consecrated tools I had with me in the circle.

I awoke early, a good half-hour before the first hour of the Sun and took a ritualized shower and headed downstairs to my magical room. I prepared everything within my circle, blending the Sun incenses/sufumigations together, prepared the ink, colors, and materials I would be using. The following seals are what I constructed within the hour to the best of my ability and materials I had with me. I must say I’m quite pleased by what I was able to turn out and the utter potency of these seals were filled with during the ritual. Bright was my chamber, and warm as if the sun had peeked through the very roof and floors of my house. I felt St. Michael present as well as other solar energies as I focused my work and called them to consecrate my talismans. The invocations used were based from the VKoS with my added intentions and are given below:

Prayer for Sunday from the Veritable Key of Solomon

“Lord Adonai, who has shaped a lowly sinner in your image and resemblance, from base and abject clay and earth, to initiate him for the remainder of time into the deep knowledge of your ineffable wonders, deign by the virtue of the Holy Names, which you made your servant Moses write on the Mystical Tables, to bless and sanctify all my Operations and ventures. O Arabonas, Jerablem, Jodadae, Zophiel, Eloy, Abraxas.”

Invocation for Sunday from the Veritable Key of Solomon

“Come, Heavenly Spirits, who are bright and resplendent with the rays of the Sun. Luminous Spirits, who are most prompt to obey the powerful voice of the great and wondrous Tetragrammaton, come to assist me in my Operation, which I undertake under auspices of the torch of the day, which our Creator has created for the use of all Nature. I invoke you to this purpose, to bless, empower, and consecrate materials and these seals which I will craft during this most potent hour, indulge me and come to my entreaties, which I make to you in the name of Him, who has desired to bear the glorious titles of Amoriam, Adonai, Sabaoth.”

Conjuration of Sunday from the Veritable Key of Solomon
“Oh happy spirits, who have been created to look at the face of Him, who is seated upon the Cherubim; I conjure you, Spirits, full of power, in the names of Sadai, Kadosh, Phah, Zaraye, Elohim, by the name of the first light, which is the Sun, that you come and contribute to the happy success of the Operation I am undertaking. I conjure you anew, that you use your virtue and power to separate the evil-doing spirits, who may detract from the benign influences of my work. I repeat my Conjuration by the virtue of the Divine Names, Abaye, Radiel, Caracasa, Amadeyel.”

I had a tremendously prosperous magical undertaking this morning and I hope other magicians did as well. 🙂 These seals could not have been created at a better time! I’m looking forward to seeing how the ones I am keeping for myself are going to work! Anyone who needs a little profitable “sunshine” in their lives will certainly benefit from these. I would love to hear feed back from those who obtain these.

Today is my birthday. (yay!) St. Patty’s is a great birthday for an Irish decedent,…. but instead of getting wasted, I thought I’d get up early and do some magick beginning on the hour of Jupiter.
I had been planning to create a certain talisman on this day for a few months now. My birthday would be falling on a THURSDAY and only a couple days away from the full moon! Along with some other favorably astro goodies I thought it would be a perfect time/day.

My primary endeavor was to create one of the Jupiter talismans listed in the Veritable Key of Solomon, which David Rankine and Stephen Skinner had published. I want to share with you my procedure after I had done all the essential work. This operation was most wonderful in each aspect and I enjoyed it immensely.

Veritable Key of Solomon

With this experiment, I could care less about further results as the whole procedure was worth every ounce of work and ingredients that went into it. ….but I have a confident sense that ALL will work according to its design. 🙂

The talisman I created is the one listed on page 249 but described on page 248, which reads: -“The talisman of Jupiter given here is excellent for protecting yourself against all evil spells, for luck in games of chance and even luck in business, according to the report of Wierus who gives us the method for creating it…”

Its method for creation reads below:

“Take a plate of red copper ( the footnote reads ‘You would normally expect a talisman of Jupiter to be engraved on a tin plate’- which seems obvious but I went with what the book stated) and engrave this pentacle on it, just as you see on the previous page. Make it on a Thursday at the hour favorable to Jupiter and during the waxing of the Moon…”
It then lists a prayer in Latin which you are to recite three times while making the talisman. Then you are to perfume it with the incense of Thursday (Which I will relate below) and then rub cedar resin onto it with wood aloes and wrap it in a lemon colored silk cloth and carry it on your person.

Now before I get into the actual procedure, let me get to the incense for Thursday and reiterate the importance of planing your magical experiments ahead. Gathering needed ingredients can take more time than you ever expected from first reading.

Here is what is listed for the ‘Manufacture of Perfume for Jupiter for the day of Thursday’:

“Rowan berry, wood of aloes, Storax, Benzoin, powder of Lapis Lazuli, pieces of chopped up peacock feathers; ground up and mixed with the blood of two or three swallows or the brain of a deer; make a paste out of this and make pellets for your use in the rituals of the Art on the day of Thursday under the auspices of Jupiter and the Spirits who rule its influences.”

Ingredients

I’ll say this now and state that I was missing some of the listed ingredients above. I did not include either swallow blood nor the brain of a deer. I am a traditionalist, but have not used any animal bio material as compound to my incenses. I like to keep incense I’ve made for as long as I can and bio material will putrefy quickly if not used. I used some of the supplements Aaron suggested in his Secrets book to account for this. I do not doubt the effectiveness of the animal material but I had absolutely no sense of inadequacy from the compound I made.
The rowan berries were bought from an occult dealer in England. I had Benzoin and wood of aloes left from a purchase from Alchemy works but had to buy Storax from them.
Lapis Lazuli stone is easy to come by, but pulverizing it into a powder took some effort and patience. Peacock feathers were bought at a local craft store. All in all, the ingredients were not too difficult to come by.
The most challenging part was finding the cedar resin which the book stated should be rubbed on the talisman with aloe woods after you cense it. I looked and looked and couldn’t find CEDAR resin for sale anywhere. Not local or on-line.

Luckily, Colorado has cedar trees and some amazing ones were located in a place called Garden of the Gods not five minutes from my house. I know of the method for collecting resin/sap but it was the dead of winter here and the ‘sap just don’t flow’ well at that time. I decided to see what I could find and was fortunate to discover that (some of) the trees already had grains of sap on them. So I didn’t have have to harm any trees to collect the resin and I left a generous offering to the trees/land/nature spirits in the area. ( This gesture is somewhat pagan but one I follow religiously on a constant basis in one form or another. My motivation to magick has always been one of beneficial interactions between all manner of spiritual beings and myself/others) It took me two days of collecting with a few hours out each time to get enough ingredient.

Creation of the seal did not take very long but used up the complete first hour of Jupiter to the minute. I cut out a disk of the red copper and equal one of tin and decided to adhere them together.
( I think the copper is well suited although attributed to Venus. I added the tin disk for the sake of correspondence and intuition. I etched out the sigil and name of Bethor which is listed in the key, page 184)

During the process I received a small cut, …and on a whim, traced out the glyph of Jupiter on both backs of the metal before I sealed them together. I recited the Latin prayer once as I began, again after I had almost finished engraving it, and once more before I perfumed it. I also said the English translated version after I began sealing it with the resin.
I performed the majority of the ritual were my financial alter is located and do weekly rituals on Thursdays. It seemed appropriate. The incense is pretty amazing and seems well suited for the operation. (Go figure)

After the talisman was completed and wrapped up in the yellow silk, I placed it in my pocket and went downstairs with the incense burner to my oratory/magical lab. I set the blue incense burner on the Jupiter seal which is engraved on my ‘Table of Art’. (Ars Paulina style). I sat at the alter, lit the holy candle, and meditated. I recited the Jupiter Prayer, invocation, and conjuration.
Magick was working as these three verses caused instantaneous energy and awareness of spiritual beings around me. Empowering, invigorating and other sensations I cannot completely define filled me as well as the room. Light seemed to radiate beyond natural luminescence and visions of beings could be scene everywhere out of the periphery of my vision. I kept focused on the central candle flame and let the entire experience unfold as it wished.
