For the past few weeks, I've been dwelling in the depths of the Hermetic ocean of ancient knowledge. The Hermetic Philosophy is a significant part of the symbolism I weave into my designs. I'm fascinated by these ancient concepts and how, while searching for the Philosopher's Stone, one realizes many hidden meanings and secrets. New 2024 Edition. Assemble on March

The ancient Hermetic writings were actually translated by none other than Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), an Italian scholar, astrologer, reviver of Plato's teachings, and huge contributor to the Italian Renaissance and philosophy. He was also the principal translator of the ancient collection of Hellenistic Greek documents, which are the Hermetic teachings. During this period, there was a "rediscovery" of the teachings, beliefs, and the arts of antiquity, including astrology. Writing in 1492, Ficino proclaimed: "This century, like a golden art, has restored to light the liberal arts, which were almost extinct: grammar, poetry, rhetoric, painting, sculpture, architecture, music ... this century appears to have perfected astrology." He also wrote about the "Anima Mundi," or the soul or consciousness that connects and exists in all living things and its integration with the human soul: "There will be some men or other, superstitious and blind, who see life plain in even the lowest animals and the meanest plants, but do not see life in the heavens or the world ... Now if those little men grant life to the smallest particles of the world, what folly! What envy! Neither to know that the Whole, in which 'we live and move and have our being,' is itself alive, nor to wish this to be so." This integrated "aliveness" or Cosmic Soul exists in Ficino's astrology. Tomorrow will be the moment for the limited edition of the "The Image of the Cosmos" talisman. Each year, I make a few of these special pieces according to the instructions of Ficino, The Talismans will be made at the first sunrise after the Sun's ingress into Aries, aligning the Ecliptic, Equator, and our local Horizon. 15% Discount

The equinoctial points are the places on the ecliptic (the
Sun's path) which, in relation to the earth, make night
and day of equal length. This means that the Sun is in the
plane of the Earth's equator. Astrologically, these are
very important times when a tremendous shift of energy
takes place.Ficino. In his revolutionary work (for his times), "De Vita" (the Book of Life), published in 1489 where, Ficino synthesizes Medicine, Astrology and Magic, in the chapters dealing with the subject of magical Talismans, he suggests a Talisman for the cosmos: "How to Construct a Figure of the Universe." "But why, then, should we neglect a universal image, an image of the very universe itself? Through it, they seem to hope for a benefit from the universe. The adherent of these things, if he can do it, should sculpt an archetypal form of the whole world, if he pleases, in bronze, he should imprint this subsequently at the right time in a thin, gilded plate of silver." "But when exactly should he imprint it? When the Sun has reached the first minute of Aries. For astrologers customarily tell the fortune of the world - at least, what is going to happen in that year - from this moment, since it is the return of its birthday." "He should, therefore, imprint this figure of the whole world on the very birthday of the world. But don't you see how beautifully the argument that the whole world was born at a particular time will help us in this discussion? For it is born in any and every year. In a person's horoscope, don't astrologers measure first what sign, in what degree, and in what minute the Sun was? And then they lay the foundation of the whole figure. And in any year thereafter, as soon as the Sun enters at the same minute, they think that the man is, as it were, reborn, and then they prophesy this year's fortune." Equinox Talismans15% Discount
