Astrological talisman bearing an image and magical symbols associated with Mercury.

This talismanic image of Mercury is derived from the Picatrix, a Renaissance-era grimoire translated from its original Arabic, first to Spanish, then to Latin, and now to English: “The image of Mercury, according to the opinion of the wise Apollonius, is the shape of a bearded youth holding a dart in his right hand.” Picatrix Book II, Chapter 10, Paragraph 31. (Attrell and Porecca, 2019)

The back of the talisman bears the Grand Planetary Seal of Mercury and the Characters of Mercury according to Agrippa.
The Picatrix says this of Mercury:
“The benevolence of Mercury is appropriate to messengers and scribes…” - Bk II Ch 3 Para 6
“Mercury is the source of intellectual power. He governs an aspect toward learning knowledge and wisdom, dialectic, grammar, philosophy, geometry, astronomy with its processes, geomancy, notarial science, the augury of birds according to tradition, and the interpretation of Turkish and other languages.” - Bk III Ch1 Para 8
“Mercury is the author of eloquence, rational intellect, and sense perception; from him proceeds the understanding of subtle and profound things.” - Bk III Ch 3 Para 33
“Seek from Mercury petitions appropriate to notaries, scribes, arithmeticians, geometricians, astrologers, grammarians, public speakers, philosophers, rhetoricians, poets, sons of kings and their secretaries, toll keepers, merchants, ministers, lawyers, slaves, boys, girls, younger brothers, painters, designers, and the like.” - Bk III Ch 7 Para 7
“Use Mercury when you wish to know, understand, and expel distraction; then your request will be fulfilled and flourish more easily.” - Bk IV Ch 4 Para 26
