OPUS
+
ORBIS
your word is law with the power of the celestial spheres.
REACH FOR THE STARS. ATTUNE YOURSELF WITH THEIR HIGHEST VIRTUES. BECOME ONE WITH THE SPACE GODS.
"For inferiors are joined to their superiors in such a way that an influence proceeds from their head, the first cause, like a string stretched taut, down to the lowest things of all. If one end of this string is touched, the whole immediately shakes, and a touch of this kind resounds all the way to the other end. The motion of the inferior makes the superior move as well, to which the other corresponds, like the strings in a well-tuned lute."
-- Cornelius Agrippa
I see you.
Looking up, equal parts mesmerized and taunted by the shining wheels pinned to the Heavens above.
It's no wonder, reallly.
For, deep inside, you still carry the memory of your Descent, from when you bid farewell to your Guardian Spirit in the Primum Mobile, to taste Matter.
Down and down you came, meeting the Spirits of the Fixed Stars and of the Wanderers, the Mighty Seven, on your path to the Kingdom of materiality.
Thus was thy birth chart formed.
In your bones, flesh and skin you carry the unique signature of the Stars, imprinted upon your Soul the moment you were born.
But you are not of this World. Not entirely, at least.
If you are here, reading this words, it can only mean one thing: the Stars want you to know that there are potent ways of reaching for your Birthright, nested amongst them.
The time has come for you to grab Life by the horns, to become the Maker of your own reality.
For Talismans are not only the apex of Celestial Magic. Ever so slowly, they will change you inside and out. Others will react differently to you. Your life will be transformed in ways you can't even fathom.
For, by means of the Light of the Celestial Spheres, or Orbs, shall your Great Work, your Magnum Opus, be accomplished. This is the raison d'être of Opus et Orbis.
Are you ready to partake in the flesh and blood of the Space Gods?
Wouldst thou wish to live deliciously?
TAMI DE CASTRO,
a.k.a.
VULTUR CADENS
The name is Tamires, but you can call me Tami.
I am a Capricorn rising with Saturn in Aquarius [in paran with Vega, a.k.a. Vultur Cadens] and Mars in Leo. Thankfully, I was also born under a Cancer Sun and a Pisces Moon, so I guess you can say I am somewhat balanced as a person.
I have been in love with the Occult since I was a child. I suppose you can call it lucky that my parents were into that, too. I had the privilege of growing up with my father's large collection of occult books, including Max Heindel, Dion Fortune and the astrological yearly almanacs.
Greek mythology was such a hyperfocus it ended up becoming my nickname at school. I blame it on Fantasia (1940), with the centaurs and pegasi that fascinated me to no end and sparkled this passion. How haunting it was to find out, many years later, that I have stars from Sagittarius and the Centaur constellation, as well as from Pegasus, in my birth chart.
In college, when I was pursuing my degree in Public Relations, I had classes on the unconscious, the power of myth and archetypal symbolism. To this day, I carry the literature I was introduced to then, and it is one of the pillars of my practice.
