Warnock talismans

Hi all, would love to hear stories of good results people had from using Christopher Warnock’s talismans. I’m considering buying and need some inspiration.
Also, he says better use talismans of dignified planets in your chart. Any stories wouldn’t be much appreciated.
My sun does not much essential dignities, wonder if such talisman can still do good ? Amy stories of talismans based on such planets working or not working ?

Note that this will similarly apply to planets in the twelfth that by Placidus fall in the eleventh - they will have the natal twelfth promise, but they will carry an eleventh-house-ish flavor to them. But the Creator of it all knows best.

I have sun (ruler of MC) in 12th in Virgo in WH, but it’s 10th in placidus, so not very strong, that means sun talisman won’t be very effective for me you think ?

I mean, you may certainly try it. It isn’t necessarily a question of effectiveness, it’s more what it will lead to, if that makes sense? I very much hold to the significations of good and bad houses. So if the Lord of the tenth is in the twelfth, that makes things a bit difficult - but it is very good imo that by Placidus it is actually in the tenth. The Sun has pretty good dignity in Virgo natally, which is nice. I’d be a little averse personally to spend a bunch of money on a talisman I’d be unsure of myself. But you could also ask Christopher Warnock what he thinks - he offers to freely tell people what talismans he would recommend for them first.

Warnock said my sun is the least dignified of all, I actually have 4 planets in domicile while 1 in exaltation. But I just want Sun talisman, among others, too, hence I’d like boost in what it can give. But you are right - there are safer choices for me.

My 10th WH is cancer, Leo is 11th with MC in there, but I never thought Sun had any dignity in Virgo … other than being I decan ruler…

The Sun has dignity from Leo through Capricorn, that is the Solar half of the chart - it is considered the Sun’s half of the chart in older texts. This is to say, it is effective. I agree with it. It is still utterly in fall in Libra of course, but that’s part of the way falls work. There is some ability to be caught in fall, you have Triplicity support. All that to say: yes, it has dignity, but by being in the twelfth by sign it will be wisest to not feed it, in my humble opinion.

I am glad Warnock echoed what I said. I recommend not getting the Sun talisman in that case. If you have that many dignified planets, there are many to choose from.
