TALISMAN A talisman designed to aid in the destruction of all kinds of venomous or troublesome insects or reptiles. The conjurer stands protected in a magical circle in the roundel of which is written the Latin, Consummatum Est, along with two crosses, and the sigils for Sun, Scorpio and the Moon. Inside the circle, a serpent is shown wrapped around a Scorpion. The zodiacal sign Scorpio has rule over serpents and venomous insects. Hand-coloured engraving from The Straggling Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century, or, Magazine of Celestial Intelligence, 1824.
