Erotica - 13th Lunar Mansion

The 13th lunar mansion is known for its sexually explicit themes of “curing impotence” in men so that they are able to make love again. In my experience, this can be extended to sex in general, and an image made under Al Awwa is powerful in creating and increasing sexual desire between two people or to remedy sex drive problems. These talismans are usually potent, so if you create one make sure to 1) use it only with consenting partners, 2) don’t take it with you in situations where you don’t want things to get explicit or have sexual innuendos (at work, with platonic friends, where you might regret it later.) If you’re unsure what to do with it, simply keep it on an altar or in your bedroom!

Interestingly, Astromagia seems to refer more to Al Awwa as presiding over the “affairs of women” — is this a euphemism for sexual matters, a conflation of any “feminine” affairs with the realm of the intimate, of beauty and desire, or a genuine understanding of the 13th mansion as presiding over anything that pertains to women? Probably a mix of all three. Here’s what the text says about the talismanic applications of this mansion: “It is good for any beginning of learning, and from it comes into the world a spirit that [gives] knowledge of how to convene with women; and it is good for compounding medicines for [women], and to go to kings and to speak with them about doings of women, and to dress and cut clothes, and to go on the road; and its not good for fighting or commencing hostilities.” (Astromagia)

It’s also worth noting that in my personal experiments with this mansion, I’ve observed it is good for generally *growing* things — whether that thing is a… sexual organ, a plant/crop or even more intangible things like a fanbase/acquire followers on a social media account. If you’re gonna use Al Awwa for that purpose, just make sure that the Moon is waxing (increasing in light) when placed in  this mansion to make sure that what you are aiming for will actually increase instead of decreasing.

Created on May 28, 2023 with a waxing Moon in her auspicious 13th lunar mansion and applying to sextile Venus in Cancer, also known as Al Awwa, this oil concentrates the most potent qualities of this mansion of love and desire. This lunar mansion is the only sexually explicit one of the lunar zodiac: its talismanic applications are pretty much geared towards healing sexual impotence in the Picatrix. Its name, Al Awwa, signifies “the Howling Dog”- a prolific, fertile mansion, she oozes sexiness, abundance and the controlled provocation characteristic of the most glamorous of individuals. In it lies the power and mysteries of creation in all its glory, for everything that is fecund, that engenders life and is a constant act of self-renewal is sacred.

The Picatrix says the following of this mansion: “it is for the liberation of men who are not able to come to women and for the creation of love between men and women […] make images for the increase of trade and profit, the increase of harvests, for travelers to have good journeys on the roads…”
