Ornate Teapot – Sobriety Talisman

This powerful little ally to sobriety will help you make small, everyday choices that align with your highest good. Instead of reaching for the usual crutches or support aides we might habitually use, this sobriety talisman will help you instead to reach for support that might seem mundane; a cup of tea, a text to a friend, watching a tv episode. These small incremental changes are actually what is needed to result in a radically new and different life. This is the talisman for someone who knows that an “all or nothing” approach doesn’t necessarily work for them – sobriety isn’t always about grand public gestures or radical or extreme decisions, its mainly about the small boring decisions we make in private. This talisman will be with you as you navigate this new path.

Sobriety is an incredibly powerful and empowering choice that one makes afresh, every day. Possibly one of the most life-changing decisions many of us ever make, these sobriety talismans have been imbued with all the powers of the Universe to support you in this decision, and therefore in choosing yourself over all else whether for the first time or the 1,000,000th time.

This talisman has been created from a vintage solid gold piece, transformed into a magickal talisman through specific ritual magick at a carefully astrologically elected time.

You may well see scratches, dents and small marks on your talisman due to its age and former life. This only adds to the authenticity and unique nature of the piece. None of the Ouroboros Limited Editions are brand new and each piece is carefully inspected by our master goldsmith and jeweler in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. He then refurbishes each piece to wearable condition, polishes and securely solders the jump ring in place.

So much more than a piece of jewellery, this talisman is a personal piece of magickal power.

Sobriety – Thursday 7th April 1am

The date and the chart I have chosen for sobriety also required a strong relationship between Saturn and Mars. When addressing the issue of addiction, the planets which are indicators of addiction are the Moon (associated with habits, defence mechanisms and instincts) Neptune (associated with drugs and alcohol, along with poor boundaries) and Mars (uncontrollable impulses). In this chart there are positive aspects from Saturn which bring boundaries, control, stability and sobriety to the impulses of the aforementioned planets. Similar to the chart for protection, I have chosen the conjunction between Saturn and Mars, specifically, so that Saturn can act as a restraining influence upon the rash impulses of Mars. Saturn is also an indication of an authority figure supporting an individual towards sobriety. There is also a harmonious semi sextile (a mild and positive minor aspect) between Saturn and the conjunction of Jupiter with Neptune in Pisces (this configuration is a classic indicator of addiction, showing an inflation and exaggeration (Jupiter) of addictions (Neptune) in the watery sign of Pisces which like water itself, has no boundaries. Therefore, a positive influence from Saturn is extremely important in keeping the conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces, thoroughly in check. Finally, one of the most favourable aspects of this chart is the harmonious trine aspect between the Saturn-Mars conjunction in Aquarius and the Moon in Gemini, so our protector and bodyguard of the cosmos, Saturn is in a highly beneficial relationship to our habits and impulses (Moon). I specifically chose the time when Saturn and Mars were placed in the 2nd house of personal resources, because as well as receiving support from external resources, it is also essential to draw upon personal resources to obtain sobriety.
