Horn of Venus Silver Talisman (*Limited Edition*)
Assembled on May 7th, 2024, between 8:36-09:36 GMT +3 Givataim Israel
The Talisman's election features a conjunction of the Moon and Venus in Taurus. Taurus is not only the sign ruled by Venus, it is also the exaltation sign of the Moon, therefore this conjunction enhances both the significations of the Moon and Venus while powerfully highlighting the extremely beneficial Venusian/Taurian virtues of beauty, prosperity and pleasure. This Venusian and Lunar combination is further reinforced by the rising sign Cancer in the Talisman election. Cancer is ruled by the Moon which is conjoining Venus, and also in a sextile aspect to the rising degrees( from the beneficial 11th house). Finally, this election time is also the planetary hour of Venus.
This is a Talisman for all the Venusian gifts in Taurus, the gift of plenty and abundance, the gift of sensuality and attraction, the gifts of beauty and pleasure, artistic ability and a general feeling of well being.
In the Venus Horn Talisman, the earthly power (Taurus) of Venus is greatly emphasized, it gives all of what Venus naturally signifies (love, beauty, attraction etc.) with a tremendous support for gaining resources and abundance. It amplifies pleasure, artistic ability, and stress-reducing tranquility.
The design of the Talisman comes from the famous 16th century Magus John Dee, who was a Philosopher, Astrologer, Alchemist and an adviser to Queen Elizabeth I.
In a Magical text entitled “The Little Book of Black Venus” Dee gives this complicated design for a Venus Talisman, with many sigils of her spiritual hierarchy. He then gives a very long and elaborate ritualistic protocol for the creation of this Talisman, while also using a real bull’s horn. In our creation, I will create a silver or gold horn-shaped Talisman and follow the ancient traditional methods and consecrate this Talisman under the Venusian election stated above.
The Horn is, of course, the famous “horn of plenty” which is the symbol of good fortune and abundance. It's the horn of a bull which is one of the sacred animals ruled by Venus (as is the sign Taurus). The sigils are of the different spirits and intelligence (or spiritual powers) connected with Venus’s cosmic archetype.
