Hello xqbly, On Sunday 20th of March the day became longer than night for the Northern Hemisphere. This marks the beginning of the spring's equinox which is the time when the sun's rays shine directly on the Earth's equator. Equinox Talisman Ring 14% Discount Until April 6th 2022 2022 edition, assembled on March the 20th between 11:00 - 12:01 GMT+3 Givataym, Israel. The Vernal Equinox is specifically of great importance because It is analogous to the rising point in the daily cycle when the Sun crosses the horizon and marks the beginning of the day. After six months, during which the night is longer than the day, when the Sun crosses the vernal point, the day triumphs over the night. The solar power is starting to gain momentum as light and warmth propel life and growth in the northern hemisphere.

Solar Flower Equinox Talisman 14% Discount Until April 6th 2022 The Talisman is modeled after the eastern Hyacinth flower, which expresses the place of the Sun as the center of our solar system and the wandering (classical) planets as the flowering petals, stemming from it and revolving around it.

On the outer circle are engraved magical Solar Sigils taken from Albertus Magnus (12th century) “Treatise of the 12 heavenly signs and their seals”. Ficino Talismans This year I wasn't able to create the limited edition of the Image of the Cosmos Talismans because the exact moment when these talismans were supposed to be made, the Moon was in Scorpio which is not a good place so I'm offering the last six pieces that remained from the last edition. The Image of the Cosmos is also a solar Talisman, which has ingrained in it the image of the whole cosmos as it is inherent in the Sun itself; the powerful Architect and life-generating force of our solar system It is, in a sense, a Talisman that encapsulates the universal image of birth and life, and it helps us tune our-self to the generating forces of life as a whole. This Talisman was inspired by the famous Renaissance Philosopher and Astrologer Marsilio 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.” We have 3 silver items and 3 silver and gold items left. Gold edition is sold out. 14% Discount Until April 6th 2022 The Talisman is set with traditional stones ruled by the different planets: Moon - Moonstone Mercury - Emerald Venus - Peridot Sun Pink Tourmaline Mars - Amethyst Jupiter - Yellow Topaz Saturn-Sapphire.
