The Spica Talisman –
Powerful fixed star Talisman – for Unbounded good fortune, happiness and protection.
The star spica is probably one of the most notorious fixed stars for its abundant beneficial and protective powers.
This star is also called Alpha Virginis, as it is the brightest star in the constellation of Virgo the maiden. Spica is a binary star, which means it is really two stars larger and hotter than the sun, together they look like a single point of light, even when looking through an average telescope.
The name Spica means “ear” as it is in the “ear of wheat” in the virgo constellation. The association with agriculture, wheat and harvest is very old, for the Egyptians the Virgo constellation was associated with the goddess Isis, and Spica to her lute bearer. As Isis is the goddess of fertility and life creating goddess, Spica symbolised the fruits of her life energy that she gave nature and man. Virgo is also associated with Ceres, the greek goddess of the harvest.
Spica is also associated with the Šala the babylonian Goddess of agriculture and fertility. The Talismans Image is a depiction of the goddess giving the wheat to humans. this depiction comes from an ancient cylinder seal.
