Jupiter in Cancer Talismans

STUNNING Jupiter in Cancer Talismans by Tony Mack —

Modeled in hard carver’s wax, and cast in electrum [silver and gold], with calcined salt of frankincense, orange rind, and oak. An image of a “master key” with the head of a kingly Jupiter.

The form of Jupiter as king was drawn from Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Book II Chapter 22: referencing “a man crowned”; and Picatrix Book II, Chapter 10 of a man “sitting on a throne” under planetary images of Jupiter.

The kingly imagery emphasizes Jupiter at his zenith in the 10th house of the elected chart of the sunrise casting, as well as the applying moon occupying the second decan of Aries “The Crown” (via Austin Coppock’s ’36 Faces’).

The form of a key was chosen to embody Jupiter as the opener of gates, granter of access, and bestower of legitimate authority and benefic opportunity. Keys signify sovereignty, the stewardship of wealth, and [particularly with Jupiter in Cancer] guardianship: the wise tending of resources so that they may grow and nourish all within one’s care; the capacity to command goodwill.

Rising in the 10th house, Jupiter becomes the celestial patron of honor, mastery, and eminence. The key becomes his instrument, signifying admission to high places, admitting the bearer to supportive alliances, warm recognition, and honorable advancement, while closing the doors to misfortune.

Ornate Versions feature an electrum [20/80] casting and an 18 kt gold crown. Inside the head of the kingly Jove was deposited yellow sapphire, amethyst, lapis lazuli, saffron, frankincense, and ginseng. The materia was then encased by a 5 carat Kyanite cabochon, prong-set by the spires of the crown. Standard versions feature an all-electrum [10/90] casting with a 4 carat amethyst cabochon.

Casting was accompanied by suffumigation of frankincense, saffron, and camphor.

Each Jupiter in Cancer Talisman arrives with a 20″ silver chain, and a keepsake jewelry box bearing a wax seal of the planetary glyph of Jupiter.

Each arrives with a vial of Sublime Dynamo Incense + Powder.
