This hammering and heating, if it happens under a harmony similar to that celestial harmony which had once infused power into the material, activates this power and strengthens it as blowing strengthens a flame and makes manifest what was latent before, as the heat of a fire brings to visibility letters previously hidden which were written with the juice of an onion; and as letters written with the fat of a goat on a stone, absolutely unseen, if the stone is submerged in vinegar, emerge and stick out as if they were sculptured. Yes, and just as the touch of the broom or the wild strawberry excites a dormant madness, then perhaps hammering and heating alone brings out the power latent in the material, if it is done at the right time.
- Marsilio Ficino

Regulus: The Heart of the Lion Talismans

Regulus, the alpha star at the heart of the Leo constellation, is also known as Cor Leonis, Latin for “Heart of the Lion.” It is said that those born under this star possesses the qualities of a leader, blending the might of Jupiter with the courage of Mars.

Spica: The Gift of the Goddess

Spica is the gift of the goddess, the stalk of wheat held by Demeter, the goddess of the Virgo constellation. Demeter, goddess of the earth and mother of all, brings sustenance and abundance to the living, and claims the dead as her own. Present at the sowing, heaping, and threshing of grain, she offers material nourishment through the gift of agriculture, and spiritual nourishment through her Mysteries.

Stellar Talismans

In Nature and all things; which these soft fires
Not only enlighten, but with kindly heat
Of various influence foment and warm,
Temper or nourish, or in part shed down⁠
Their stellar virtue on all kinds that grow
