Astrological talismans are physical images and objects imbued with the energetics of specific celestial spirits during sacredly timed ritual. Featured prominently in this astrological election was the planet Venus’ conjunction with the Royal Fixed Star Fomalhaut.
The cosmically distilled energies of this moment were chosen for their ability to convey blessings on creative endeavors, especially those of a more spiritual flavor. A language of woven symbolic imagery draws variously on starlore, astronomy, dreamwork, art history, mythology, personal experiences, and traditional planetary sympathy doctrines.
The labor that went into creating this piece was undertaken as a devotional offering to Venus-Aphrodite. This project was the culmination of a more than year-long process of coming into relationship with the goddess via embodied ritual and sacred art making.
