This talk will explore the historical roots of astrological magic, focusing on image-making as a form of talismanic practice.
Drawing from key texts like De Imaginibus and the Greek Magical Papyri, we will examine how these ancient sources have shaped the creation of talismans and influenced the broader tradition of astrological magic and religious practices.
The discussion will highlight the relevance of these practices in contemporary art, demonstrating how the principles of astrological magic can inspire both creative expression and magical work. By blending historical analysis with practical insights, the talk aims to inspire seasoned astrologers to explore creative expressions of their astrology, fostering a more holistic approach to both art and magic.
