Attuning to Astrological Talismans Part IV – Fleshing Out Your Ritual

In Part I of this post series, we took a look at our historical texts to argue that what we call attunement or introduction to astrological talismans is a modern addition to the tradition, and not an essential feature of the practice. In Part II, we explained why we recommend a ritual of attunement or introduction, and made some general suggestions based on some of our best practices for introducing oneself to talismans. Then, in Part III, we offered Inner Sanctum members detailed and nuanced suggestions on how to find a good time to introduce oneself to a talisman.

In this fourth and last part of the series, we discuss the other aspects of a ritual of attunement, and offer some suggestions on materials and a ritual structure for introducing oneself to a talisman.
