Third Decan of Leo Talismans

Talismans a la Mack —

Modeled in hard carver’s wax, and cast in silver with iron firescale, gold, and calcinated salt of hawthorn and frankincense. An image of a banner in the shape of a shield, bearing the head of a lion with severe countenance.

In Austin Coppock’s 36 Faces, the banner represents one’s outward expression of will, assertion and recognition. The shield emphasizes defense and integrity; the protection of one’s declared light against opposition, envy, or distortion. The bearer proclaims their sovereignty, but also guards it. The union of banner and shield under the third face of Leo upholds honor defended, identity maintained, and creative will made steadfast and unyielding against challenge.

The lion’s jaws hold a 6mm almandine garnet. On the reverse side of the shield-banner is a large setting for one of three martial stone cabochons. Oxidized-finish talismans feature Red Jasper or Dragon Bloodstone; High polish versions feature Pyrite (Picatrix Book II, Ch. 10–11, Book IV lapidary sections; Agrippa Book II, Chapter 9, “What things are under the power of Mars”).

Casting was accompanied by suffumigation with a martial/solar incense of frankincense, saffron, cayenne, hawthorn, bay leaves and tobacco.

Each Leo III Talisman arrives with a 20″ silver chain, and a keepsake jewelry box bearing a wax seal of a lion’s head.

Includes a complimentary vial of Incense + Powder from the Third Decan of Leo series.
