The Scorpio Alchemical Zodiac Pendant is drawn from the detailed instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where it was described as a talisman of protection, strength, and resilience. According to the text, the sigil was to be crafted when Mars rules the year, specifically when the Sun enters the fifth degree of Scorpio, with Mars positioned in its celestial house of Aries. Traditionally, it was forged from pure iron, engraved during the hour of Mars.
This ancient seal was believed to offer extraordinary protective powers, particularly against poisons, venomous bites, and diseases caused by toxins. Its influence extended beyond physical harm—it was said to shield soldiers and warriors in battle, providing courage, clarity, and strength in moments of conflict. The manuscript also recounts the pendant’s ability to repel serpents and scorpions, driving them away from any space it occupied.
Additionally, it was considered a remedy for leprosy and other ailments of the skin when worn close to the body, while liquids infused with the pendant—referred to as potable gold—were believed to carry potent healing properties. The talisman was even said to ward off flies from a resting place when suspended nearby, symbolizing its far-reaching protective influence.
Reimagined in gold, this pendant captures the intensity and transformative energy of Scorpio. It serves as a talisman for those who seek protection, courage, and the power to overcome adversity, embodying the indomitable spirit of its astrological sign.
