What is a Talisman? The De Imaginibus of Thabit Ibn Qurra

Astral forces have long been held to bind the human being within the web of fate. But, what if it were possible harness the very forces of destiny and weld them as a means of empowering human beings? The Talisman is just such a magical object: one with the power to harness astral forces by forging it at just the correct moment in time, capturing the forces of destiny. The Hermetic art of the Talisman was first described by the 9th century polymath Thabit ibn Qurra, among the final pagan sages of Harran. In his textbook, known in Latin as De Imaginibus, he provides a systematic guide for the creation of Talismans of various kinds employing a range of astrological virtuosity. While now obscure, his textbook of Talismans was one of the most important magical manuals of the medieval world. Consider Supporting Esoterica!
