At The Stardisco Galaxy :
We create all of our offerings by hand to painstaking specifications, designed, conjured & crafted by Haus Physician, Magician, Musician Stephanie Pierre. From planning to creation to packaging, every process involves highly distinguished materia & ingredients, extremely rare, auspicious limited timeframes, and of course the utmost intension, love & care.
Talismanic Chart Selection:
Among the many & highly specified factors considered when timing them are the OPTICS & quality of the target celestiel LIGHT source including: placement, visibility, speed, retrogradation, interference and support factors, planetary days and hours, angles of the chart, and other magically intuitive factors.
28 Day Incubation Period :
One full lunar cycle of incubation is given to all creations, covered & left completely undisturbed for a complete gestational 28 days. As a result, the electrifying energy can fully penetrate the matter, incubate, root and preserves & prolongs the magical charge, thus increasesing the power & efficacy of the object.
Ingredients/Materia:
Everything I use is 100% natural—either raw herbs, resins and/or essential oils - 90% organic and/or wildcrafted—in a base of either jojoba, beeswax, coconut wax, or organic undenatured alcohol. Many of these raw materials are sourced by me including their foraging, preparation, under astrologically appropriate transits.
On Natural Scent :
I believe in the power of the real and the raw of nature. I believe in the smell of real plants, because plant products are filled with life, and just like us humans, they change their properties to adapt with climate & location; they modulate their immune system, teaching and serving us in this way as well, as essential oils are quite simply the aromatic immune system of plant life. The plant’s personal history and relationship with the world around them help us tune into the currents of magic around and within us.
Scent feeds the soul.
What to be aware of:
The scent of natural perfumes & candles tend to be both more subtle and more complex than synthetic fragrances. You may also see particles in the potion. This is natural. Just shake and you’re good to go. Doing this will help activate and extend the scent. The scent can linger for a couple hours. Only synthetic fragrances last all day or fill a whole home with scent.
Why not use synthetics?:
We haven't evolved to tolerate them = health issues for us. The skin absorbs 70% of what we apply onto our body. So we can feed ourselves good stuff or toxins. Zeno estrogens of which anything artificially scented is composed, blocks hormone receptor sites and can cause all sorts of disorders of the immune system, hormonal & gut brain axis, such as PCOS, Endometriosis, breakouts, PMS, Cancer, Infertility, Dysmenorrhea.
Just like with anything else…..Junk food is okay sometimes.
I personally love Nag Champa incense & Mac cosmetics even though they are full of chemical synthetics), but for a sustainably nourishing diet, choose 100% natural ingredients.
BEWARE when companies use lines like this when listing ingredients: -Made with essential oils- this usually means there are natural oils in the product as well as synthetics if they do not explicitly state it is 100% natural -fragrance oils- these are also synthetics
It may take some time to be able to appreciate the natural fragrances after being used to synthetics but in time you will be able to tell the difference in multiple ways.
What's the difference between an amulet & talisman ?:
Answer : the terms have been used interchangeably however they are NOT the same. An amulet has traditionally been used as a protective, the hamsa & evil eye being examples. Pliny's Natural History describes as "an object that protects a person from trouble."
A talisman however is an ensouled object. Meaning it literally holds within it the spirit of a celestial deity such as a planet, fixed star, lunar mansion. It has a life of it's own, an agenda that it seeks to fulfill depending upon it's Nature, correspondence & the intention of the magician. It is Alive. They get lost and go missing if they do not like the environment you have them in & will draw to them what they desire.
They can be made to increase fertility, wealth, power, wisdom, health or decrease undesirable traits. They are a power source & enduring form of magic as opposed to talismanic materia such as a candle, aura mist, perfume or incense. Once the material substance runs out, the spirit's energy goes too.
Talismans are traditionally made in gemstones (the stars of earth) or metals but can also be made in paper though not as strong or enduring.

Our wares are delicate and require great care in packaging to avoid leaks and breaks. Considering the unique and irreplaceable nature of our handcrafted offerings, which are handcrafted in extremely limited and unduplicateable runs, this is even more important than for most shipped goods.
