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.

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. Spica is the wheat that is her gift to us, the very same grain held up by the hierophant at the climax of the Eleusinian Mysteries, revealing the eternal power of the earth to regenerate life.

Bringing Wind to Your Sails — Aquamarine Sualocin Talismans

Bringing Wind to Your Sails — Aquamarine Sualocin Talismans

These talismans differ slightly from previous iterations. While the core Sualocin qualities remain—glamour, movement toward opportunity, and support through transition—their energy feels more calm. The phrase that came to me while meditating with them was: “bringing the wind to your sails.” A favorable wind to push you forward along your path.

This image brought to mind a scene from the Argonautica, when Jason and the Argonauts, sailing home with the Golden Fleece, are forced to navigate the Planctae, also known as the Wandering Rocks. These shifting sea cliffs are perilous, for they are reputed to crush anything that dares to pass between them. Concerned for their safety, Hera sends Thetis and the Nereids to guide the Argo, Thetis takes the rudder while the Nereids rise from the sea to surround the ship.

Lovely Taygete - Star of the Pleiades Talismans

Lovely Taygete - Star of the Pleiades Talismans

Taygete is one of the Pleiades, seven star-nymph sisters. This write-up begins with the story of the Pleiades and their transformation into stars before focusing on Taygete and the Talismans. 

The Pleiades

The Pleiades are the seven daughters of the Oceanid nymph Pleione and the Titan Atlas. Born on Mt. Cyllene in Arcadia, Pindar refers to them as mountain maids—a nod to their origins as mountain nymphs or Oreads. The sisters were said to be companions of Artemis, the huntress goddess.

One myth tells how Pleione and her daughters were out hunting when the giant Orion saw them and pursued them in lust. They prayed to Zeus for rescue, and he transformed them into doves before placing them among the stars. The name "Pleiades" means "doves."

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

- John Milton, Paradise Lost

TESTIMONIALS
Genie’s work is timeless and time-bending, and her talismans are ecstatically alive and profoundly vocal. The majority of these talismans are ones I work with nearly every day of my life in my vocation as a professional diviner and spirit-worker; they wake up each morning and go to work with me, and we end the day together in my office. These talismans have been spirits, and sometimes tools, which have allowed me to navigate daily life and, more importantly, daily work in a niche and inspirited career and lifestyle. - SASHA RAVICH
I am a huge fan of Genie's talismans and am fortunate to be in relation with several. Each pieces is ascetically beautiful and profundly alive - with it's own unique personality, insights and gifts. The Spica- Venus Talisman is my favourite talisman ever. This beautiful pendant has become an ally who brings ease and protection to me- especially during Mars transits. The talisman softens strong emotions, anxiety, and brings calm to situations of Marsian urgency. -DR ANALOUISE KEATING
I received the Mars Talisman yesterday evening, just in time to work with him today. I woke very tired and lethargic. I have a libra sun so this eclipse cycle is hitting me hard. The Mars magic I did this morning certainly revived me, got me dancing and has made me really start thinking about the vision I have for my life. Today, my vision was just to get through the day with my clients. I felt Mars say, no problem- BUT you really need a bigger vision. The talisman is beautiful. I love your craftsmanship. And I am very thankful that I found you. - LISA SOLARI
Genie's skill is evident to anyone who has seen her pieces but having come into relationship with one of her talismans it's clear that her skill in magic and talismanic ensoulment is equally expert. The myriad synchronicities and signs accompanying the purchase, arrival, consecration and adornment of my Deneb Adige talisman has been startling brilliant - from freak hailstorms and enchanting dreams to estatic ritual experiences and deepened relationships to swan families and spirits - I find myself drawn to wearing her talisman often, delighting in dreamy creativity, fierce composure, and shimmering magic it enhances in me. I hope to patron Genie's talent again! - ROWAN RAIN
The Deneb Adige talisman solidified crucial spirit pacts and opened the door to new wonders. - CUNNING NAY
The Antares talisman is a masterwork of art and magic, it is gorgoeous and a powerful guardian. - LIZ FRAZEE
