Hi, my name is Rebeccah and I'm a traditional Western and Vedic astrologer as well as jewellery maker based in Berlin, Germany.

In my shop, I sell astrologically-timed talismans and other jewellery.

My talismans are created according to the instructions laid out in the Picatrix, a Medieval grimoire on astral magic. For this, I choose a precise, magical election (i.e. short window of time) when the stars are perfectly aligned for the intention. I then perform a ritual and etch certain images and symbols onto metal or stone, which creates the talisman. These talismans are later added to resin imbued the proper planetary herbs and stones at the corresponding planetary hour.

My jewellery is made to order and inspired by my spiritual and artistic path. The materials I prefer to work with are precious metal clay, gemstones and resin.

FAQS

Will a talisman get me what I want, right?

Talismans can be wielded to create external change. For example, a Venus talisman can be used to boost attractiveness, increase artistic abilities or find love. However, this doesn't mean that you put it on and – presto! – that which you desire appears. Although talismans can create change quickly, often their effect is more subtle and/or surprising. They also will not override your own particular nature. If, for example, you have some moon issues in your chart, a lunar talisman will not erase these issues. In general, talismans are great for boosting energies, while Vedic remedies are better for easing suffering and promoting change (you can find out about Vedic astrology remediation at my website listed below)

Will you make a talisman for my Aquarius sun sign?

No, sorry, that's not how it works. Astrological talismans need to be made when a planet is "strong," which means it is in its sign of rulership or exaltation when it has free rein to be itself and exhibit its best qualities. Please note that this is not a judgement call. I am an Aquarius sun myself, and we are good people! However, Aquarius is the sign of detriment for the sun in traditional Western astrology, which means it is not suitably for a solar talisman. The same will be true for all other planets.

Do you take special orders for particular pieces or talismans?

Yes! However, please note that this won't always be possible. For example, if you want a solar talisman but the sun won't be in a place of dignity for six months, then we'll have to wait until that's the case. Sometimes talismans and/or astrologically timed pieces also can't be made because the planet is combust, square Saturn, etc. Still, if you have any particular wishes, please feel free to reach out.

Do you give astrology readings?

Yes! Although I have over 20 years experience with Western astrology, my current astrology practice focuses on Jyotish (Vedic astrology) consultations. You can book a Vedic astrology consultation with me at rebeccahdean.com (link below).
