The Vega talismans were inspirited on December 3rd, 2024, at 2:16pm PST. Moon was conjoined with Vega on the midheaven, separating from a harmonious sextile to Saturn and applying to a conjunction with Venus in the 10th house. Venus, ruling the ascendant, held the dignity of triplicity.
Each talisman features a natural rose cut peridot (chrysolite) gemstone, with the underside inscribed with the image of a vulture. The lyres were meticulously hand-carved from wax and cast in sterling silver, an act of devotion, artistry and intention. Beneath each gemstone is Jerusalem sage, harvested from the entrance to the Cave of the Nymphs on Ithaca.
In the Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Agrippa details the making and qualities of a Vega talisman “according to Hermes opinion… Under the Vulture, they made the image of a Vulture or Hen, or of a traveller it maketh a man magnanimous and proud, it giveth power over devils and beasts." The MS Bodleian expresses a similar sentiment but adds “[is strong against] demons, nightmares and fears to it’s protective qualities.”
