Each one of these bespoke Venus Talismans is hand carved in lapis lazuli as Venus was rising in Pisces during her planetary day and hour while in the sign of her exaltation, Pisces. They were completed and consecrated during an auspicious election on Feb 27th 2026 with the Moon in Cancer, having just separated from Jupiter in Cancer by Conjunction and applying to Venus in Pisces by Trine..

While in the nocturnal sign of Pisces, the telos and intention entwined within the talisman: to embody the power of the fair lady expressed within the sign of her exaltation. When a planet is in its exaltation, it performs very cleanly, free from extremes, and it is treated like an honoured guest, or as a magistrate who is in their own court, free to make their own rules. Pisces is a yin-sign ruled by the benefic Jupiter.

Venus exaltation expresses deeply the combined duality of goddess of fertility and goddess of heaven.

This association helps Venus to act in profoundly healing and sensuous ways granting the bearer to do the same, for themselves and others — to be in touch with deep desires, pleasures, and passions, those that move them in the direction of profoundly erotic and healing ways within the Venusian domain, including the healthy function of the kidneys, sexual and functional loins, and vascular tissues.

Equally, this talisman will grant you the ability to accentuate your best qualities both in charm and physicality so as to be “loved by everybody and you will be well-known and seem sweet-voiced not only to human beings but also to gods.”

There is a uniquely subtle and profound effect, a shimmering that grants us deep access to the intricate flows. In particular, access to the cosmic oceanic. This gives powerful access to sensuousness of one’s being in the world along with the ability to open this door for others. All under the auspices and to the honour of The Mirror of Aphrodite.

Each talisman will be mounted with a delicate sterling silver pinch bail. These are ready to ship immediately.

The Mirror

This particular design draws on the iconic Venusian symbol—The Mirror. The particular form of the mirror depicted here is inspired by its representation on magical gems from the early centuries of the Common Era.

The mirror is uniquely associated with Venus/Aphrodite because it embodies her domains of beauty, erotic attraction, self-presentation, and the power of the gaze—to look into the mirror is to participate in the very processes through which beauty becomes perceptible and desirable. In ancient iconography it becomes a symbol of Venus as both the beautiful one and the power that reveals, reflects, and generates desire.

A spell was carved into the back of each using the string of Greek vowels ‘Η ΙΙ ΟΟΟ ΥΥΥΥ ΩΩΩΩΩ ΑΑΑΑΑΑ ΕΕΕΕΕΕΕ’. This is the invocation from the PGM XIII 734-1077 calling on the power of the ‘eternal and unbegotten’ one in the form of that is honoured in the west, beginning with the Η (Eta) which is the Greek vowel of Venus, a spell that honours her generative power as all the other vowels follow on from it, further empowering the talisman with a extramundane strength.

Everything comes from you:

you have yoked the world,

you control all three realms,

you give birth to all,

to everything in heaven,

to everything upon the fruitful earth,

to everything in the depths of the sea,

O venerable companion of Bacchos.
