Sigils of the fixed stars and constellations. In the Hermetic tradition — which holds that hidden correspondences link celestial bodies to earthly phenomena — sigils were signs constructed from geomantic figures. These were patterns generated by making random marks and reducing them to rows of dots. Connecting them in various ways produced a unique shape assigned to a star or constellation and used in talismans and rituals to invoke those bodies' power.

"come to me all you that labor and are burdened i will give you rest"

Marjorie Cameron, “Peyote Vision” (1955)

"The poet, occultist and artist Marjorie Cameron Parsons Kimmel (1922-1995), better known as Cameron, was a follower of the British occult leader Alistair Crowley, a star of Kenneth Anger’s short film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome and a muse for artists including George Herms and Wallace Berman. When Berman included a reproduction of Cameron’s drawing "Peyote Vision" (1955) in an exhibition at Ferus Gallery, the LAPD shut down the show for indecency. After the incident, Cameron said she would never show her work at a commercial gallery again."

The statuette was made to house a relic of St George that Archbishop Ernst of Cologne sent in 1586 to his brother Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria.

In the seventeenth century, the statuette was displayed on important feast days on the altar of the Ornate Chapel in the Munich Residence.
