Welcome to the Sanctuary Collection:
Idola Stellarum’s First Collection
of Astromagical Talismanic Jewelry

Created with input on the magical priorities of our early access mailing list members, the Sanctuary collection prioritizes our collective need for more security, healing, protection, temperance, and clarity, supportive of the shift of Saturn into Pisces.

Note that the Sanctuary collection was launched to the Idola Stellarum mailing list on 3/22/23, with early access members gaining first access on 3/21/23. Every one of the talismans in the Sanctuary collection have sold out as of 3/23/23. Please see below if you would like to join our mailing list for news of future astromagical talismanic jewelry collection releases.

Old Magic for New Apocalypse

Astrological talismans are old magic. Picatrix, our primary text for this tradition of magic, dates back at least a thousand years, but was based on even older texts. But make no mistake: old magic is not stuffy, boring, or frivolous magic. This is the kind of magic that makes kings rise and fall. This is the kind of magic that can rise to the levels of the miraculous. This is the kind of old magic that perhaps we need now more than ever.

By putting you in relationship with the powerful spirits who peer into the sublunary realm through these talismans, we hope you will be better equipped to face a strange, shifting, and at times terrifying world in which, too often, injustice reigns and corruption prevails. With institutions under siege (some rightfully so, admittedly) and social contracts disintegrating at the expense of the most oppressed among us, we have to rely on each other. Thankfully, our interdependent networks of care can include celestial angels, too.

We Put the Stars in your Hands

As Idola Stellarum’s first public collection release, Sanctuary aims to set a high standard for ourselves going forward. On each product page, we offer photographs and a narrative description of the talisman series before showcasing the electional chart (with a precise time range specifying the beginning and end of the ritual window) and discussing the essential features of the election, further magical factors of the election, and reflections on weaknesses of the election. We include ceremonial details of petitions, altars, suffumigations, and of course, the talismans themselves. Lastly, each product page carries generous testimonials from real people who have spent time relating to the specific Idola Stellarum talismanic spirits in the Sanctuary collection. 

We include all of this because we believe in making astromagical talismanic jewelry more available to those who need it, and we believe in making the tradition of astrological magic more accessible to those who could benefit from it most: those who have historically been excluded. The spirits who guide Idola Stellarum know that if we can begin to equip each other with deep and consequential magic, we can begin to make the types of changes that many of us were told as children were possible, and reach toward the dreams which we knew could come true, but which remain withheld by those who hold structural and institutional power. 

Being able to withstand and thrive within the type of change that ripples through our whole world requires a semblance of safety and security. It requires connection. It requires Sanctuary.

Sanctifying Relationships

In building Idola Stellarum, and in thinking about the Sanctuary collection, we aimed to not only put people in relationship with talismanic spirits, but to offer an experience of coming into connection. We, as beings of the sublunary realm, rely on our visceral and tactile senses, and so Idola Stellarum set our intention to usher in an experience of quality that would appeal to the aesthetics of body and spirit alike.

To this end, each Idola Stellarum talisman will include: a foil-stamped black velvet jewelry box for safe keeping and display; a detailed writeup about the nature of the talisman, the circumstances and rituals of its creation, and guidance on how to introduce yourself to the talismanic spirit; and a certificate of authenticity signed by Rain & Pallas. All talismanic jewelry that comes set in silver or gold will also include a matching chain (sterling silver rope chain for sterling silver settings, or gold-plated sterling silver rope chain for gold-plated jewelry). Many questions related to the talismans you may have are answered in our FAQ here.

We take our role as mages and mediators of the celestial spirits very seriously, and we stand by our work and the relationships we build, tend, and foster. To this end, each Idola Stellarum talisman is backed by a number of guarantees, which we encourage you to look over, as well as transparency about what we are not able to guarantee.

Note that good relationships have boundaries, and you should know ours: due to the nature of astrological talismans, all sales are final, and no refunds or exchanges will be offered. Please read our returns & exchanges policy for more information.

Enter the Sanctuary

Sanctuary holds talismans from five elections between February and July 2022. Sanctuary lives through each and every one of the talismans in the collection.

The Security, Serenity, & Success talisman offers a spacious orientation to what sanctuary actually looks like. The Ancestral Agape talisman represents all the sanctuary that is already available for connection. The Peace, Glory, Virtue talisman senses the power that exists in the feeling of sanctuary. The Cognition & Protection talisman safeguards sanctuary with fierceness and goodwill. The Healing & Recovery talisman offers what is needed to embody sanctuary.

In creating this collection, we came to recognize that sanctuary requires change, of us and our worlds. We believe in the self-transformation potential of astrological magic, not in a vague new age way, but a way that directly impacts the material, psychological, and relational aspects of our existence. Talismanic relationship mirrors the cosmic creative process between the celestial and terrestrial and otherwise. In coming into relationship with talismanic spirits, we refine and enliven ourselves through inviting divine action and celestial cooperation into our lives, and thus open the way for sanctuary to live in us and through us into the lives of others.

Please follow the links below to visit the individual talisman product pages, or scroll down to see brief previews of each of the talismans.

• Security, Serenity, & Success – Saturn in Aquarius
• Peace, Glory, & Virtue – Royal Persian Fixed Star Regulus
• Cognition & Protection – Royal Persian Fixed Star Antares
• Ancestral Agape – Venus in Pisces
• Healing & Recovery – 14th Lunar Mansion

Note that all astrological talismans by their time-sensitive nature are extremely limited edition. Only a relatively small number of each specific talisman we release will ever be available. Once they are gone, they are gone.

(Note also: weight and dimensions listed in product attributes are for the entire shipped package, not for the talismans themselves individually. The Mercury dimes in some photos are shown for scale; neither the dimes nor any of the candles or other decorative elements displayed are included with purchased talismans. The jewelry box is included, however!)
