I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase the simple Aldebaran Talisman from Sphere & Sundry. I am a firm believer this talismans choose you, and this was the case for me, from the moment is saw it. It jumped out at me like a warm embrace. Upon receiving the product, it hasn’t left my side and has been my constant companion. It combined with the Aldebaran Oil which I ALSO highly recommend as its own product, has left me centred, grounded and motivated. I work in an industry where burn out and high levels of energy are required, over long periods to time. I found that when these products arrived. I was able to do this without burn out. The talisman itself is stunning, well made and sturdy. A lovely weight and just a delight to wear. Its an honour to wear it. I have been overwhelmed at how connected this little fella is to me, and I feel like he has become a part of me. I highly recommend this product, and highly recommend the Aldebaran Oil, as a single purchase as well. Especially if you need motivation to finish a lot of work, at a steady pace, with grace and charm. I feel lucky to have discovered these products.
