The Original Astro-Magical Atelier
We opened our skylights to the public in June of 2018, coining the term “Talismanic Materia” to describe the nature of what was on offer — series of Materia Magica produced on distinct ritual operations, using talismanic-grade elections expertly chosen in collaboration with astrologer Austin Coppock, Picatrix-style procedures, and a mix of classical, modern, and syncretic correspondences.
It has greeted and escalated a rising tide of popular interest in planetary, stellar, and talismanic magic as a particular focus, method, and specialty, by showcasing how powerful, potent, and relevant these ancient technologies are in modern, real-world contexts.
Sphere + Sundry has made astrological magic infinitely more versatile, branching far beyond the standard of jewelry, and extraordinarily accessible, simultaneously raising the bar in terms of quality of ingredients, professional performance, and customer service.
The project has shipped over 16 *tons* of roughly 300,000 units, representing millions of effective, life-changing doses to over 55 countries worldwide (as of July 2023). It has popularized methods innovated by its Mage and founder, Kaitlin Coppock, and become a lighthouse and blueprint for hundreds of practitioners, proprietors, and small businesses inspired by not only its commercial success, but its ability to deliver nearly unheard of results on a reliable basis.
The thoroughly field-tested astro-magical technologies Sphere + Sundry espouses have *incredible potential* to help Humankind, especially as a supplement to the healing arts, somatic and experiential astrological education, and natal chart remediation. As is, it magically links thousands of like-Minded, like-Hearted, and like-Spirited Others, empowering each series’ Egregore, fortifying, and unifying the collective field(s) of those who partake.
Mother of Materia
The field downstream has been immensely influenced by Kaitlin’s original work, evident in terminologies, aesthetics, and a comprehensive approach which did not exist prior to Sphere + Sundry’s inception. She has paved the way for myriad others entering the starry-field of talismanic output as a proof-positive model of excellence and efficacy.
What began as 1 ex-web designer/ hausfrau making magic in her kitchen and shipping from the garage, has grown to provide for many families and individuals, encompassing an entire multi-building campus in Southern Oregon, which will open for events, workshops, and conferences in late 2023-2024. The magic of how that came to be was detailed in Part I of the write-up for Kaitlin’s Opus, the Thema Mundi series.
Two interviews are available for those curious to learn more: Foolish Fish from June 2023, primarily about the talismanic method (great for people just getting started!), and Rune Soup from May 2019, less than a year into the project, about Kaitlin’s background and approaching ethos.
She regards this work is a pleasure and a passion, as well as a duty and a responsibility — to share with the wider World, and to continue supporting those who perpetuate similar values and good-works in its wake.
As such, books, classes, and the like are forthcoming…
Good In, Good Out… and at the Speed of Light!
Sphere + Sundry uses only the finest organic and/ or wildcrafted ingredients in high-end, rancidity-resistant carriers, natural waxes and butters, pure essential oils, c02s, and absolutes, genuine metal leaf, and untreated semi-precious and precious gemstones — nary a filler, artificial scent, or unnatural preservative in sight.
We bottle in recyclable, reusable glass (never plastic), and ship with minimal packaging waste.
The vast majority of support inquiries are answered within 1 business day, and most orders ship within 0-2 (aside from launchalanches…), often making Sphere + Sundry’s fulfillment faster than Shmamazon Grime’s!
We thank every Client, Fan, Friend, and Familiar for making all this a Reality!

Founding Praxis
Artisanal + HandcraftedAll our offerings are designed and crafted by the hand of Kaitlin Coppock to painstaking specification. This includes distinctive ingredients, limited timeframes, and the utmost care in every aspect of the process, from planning to creation to packaging.
Talismanic Chart SelectionOur creations are more than casually or superficially related to their namesakes. They are timed to the exacting specifications of a professional talismanic standard, taking into account the quality of the target placement, visibility, speed, retrogradation, interfering and supporting factors, planetary days and hours, and angles of the chart, among a myriad of further considerations. This can leave less than an hour for the creation of a talismanic object. All Sphere + Sundry elections are determined in consultation with astrologer Austin Coppock.
Bottling + MaintenanceWhenever possible, creations are sealed at the time of the election in the same bottle you will receive, and are not opened until you crack the seal. In the case of using a Mother batch, they are only opened and poured into smaller containers during compatible transits and in the proper day and hour, with as little disturbance as possible. When ongoing maintenance during gestation is required, as in the case of agitating oils, this is also sympathetically timed.
28-Day Incubation PeriodAll creations are covered and left to rest undisturbed for one full lunar cycle. This allows the energy of the election to fully permeate the materia and prolongs the magical charge, making for a more potent object.
Branding, or Lack ThereofAll of our offerings come unbranded, meaning that there is no Sphere + Sundry labeling to be found on any object. This helps ensure purity of purpose, both physically and energetically. These creations are magical objects, and once they are in your hands, become yours. Labeling them, as such, would be at odds with their ultimate purpose, and your ability to feel and exercise full ownership. This also makes them more at home on altars, and purer vehicles for scrying and meditation.
The Finest IngredientsPrecious and semi-precious stones. Exotic and rare (ethically begotten, cruelty-free) ingredients – human and animal bones, skins, and powders. Pure essential oils and resins. No artificial fragrances or fillers. High quality oils, cold pressed and hexane-free – apricot kernel, almond, sunflower, or olive. Natural preservatives and stabilizers – Vitamins E and C, ethanol and witch hazel. High quality non-paraffin waxes – soy or beeswax. Organic, homegrown, freshly harvested herbs whenever possible.
Genuine Magical ArtifactsOur offerings are created in a genuine magical context for the purposes of similar application, using the highest and most thorough of standard protocol – precise timing, prayer, suffumigation, ingredients of genuine correspondence and sympathy, reputable seals and sigils, magic squares/ kameas, applicable numbers and colors, etc.
Shipping + HandlingMost of our wares are delicate and require great care in packaging, so as to prevent leaking and breakage. This is even more important than for most shipped goods, given the specific and irreplaceable nature of our offerings, which are handcrafted in extremely limited, often unduplicatable, runs. Bottles with the potential to leak are sealed with wax, and all goods are wrapped in copious amounts of tissue paper, both color coded to the nature of the work. Packages are sent daily via USPS + UPS. You will be notified by email and given a tracking code once your shipment has been processed. In the unlikely event that any of your goods are damaged, get in touch. We may not be able to offer a replacement, in which case, you can select store credit or a refund.
