Vanessa’s work is exceptional. not only does it not look like anyone else’s, its magic is the kind that can only be cultivated and curated by someone with as much book knowledge as lived experience. there is no one making talismans and amulets with the same level of witch cunning and lifelong creative and intellectual pursuit. -SR
I wanted to give my compliments on the SATOR ring I purchased. I’m impressed with the craftsmanship, design, and heft — a worthy piece. Thanks for your fine work.
Being an introvert, both my Regulus and Pleiades talismans feel fortifying for going out in the world and being social. The Regulus one helps me to feel more comfortable and confident. The Pleiades helps me to feel strong in protecting justice for women. I love Vanessa’s organic visions given life in silver. -Ann K
I bought a protective amulet from you that has a gar scale behind the stone and I really love how it looks and I love that it provides a little extra protection in the occasionally dicey situation!
Your Jupiter talisman is amazing!
Sword and Scythe’s Pisces Decan 1 talisman is my go-to talisman for daily wear. It is discreet and yet very protective. Her Deneb Algedi talisman, likewise, is another talisman that I find to be very grounding and protective as well. The craftsmanship is beautiful and it is clear that a lot of love and care has been put into creating these talismans. – Ivy Senna
I have two talismans & love them both. they’re creative, beautiful, powerful, and supportive.
I love my Regulus talisman, and wear it whenever I need to be especially seen. It’s helped me to stand out in job interviews and catch eyes at the club. I wore it to a random gallery opening in NY and ended up connecting with multiple curators who were interested in seeing my work! Witchy folk always pick up on its vibe, and club kids want to know where I got it. It’s a powerful charm that I use in my astromagical practice to both potentiate and remediate. The craftsmanship is solid and the aesthetics are timeless. I’m so glad I got this piece before it sold out! –JS
The talisman really is incredibly empowering. It’s helped me reach for stuff I haven’t dared dream of before, I cannot emphasize that enough tbh. I’ve been working on some wounds (especially ones of a sexual nature), both ones that I personally received as well as ancestral ones, and she’s been an incredible aid with these.
The Venus in Libra Talisman is exquisite. I had several really fascinating synchs the day before and the day of arrival. The day before I participated in a Venus ritual meditation, something I have never done but loved. The day my Talisman came I got a call from my sister and had a sweet conversation with her despite a recent period of challenge in that relationship—especially relevant because Libra is my 3rd house! Also my best friend (who refers to herself as my soul sister, because she is) reached out and we had a very sweet exchange. The Talisman feels lovely to wear, not too heavy and very beautiful. Thank you <3
I am fortunate to have a number of pieces from Vanessa. I had been dealing with some personal and spiritual afflictions for a time and had spent a lot of resources over the years seeing professional practitioners. That process had come to a standstill. I discovered Sword and Scythe and started to acquire pieces that spoke to me at different times. I am so glad I have, they have all been immensely helpful in a variety of situations. Outside of the talismanic function, they are beautiful and poignant. I am often receiving compliments on them. I truly adore them as part of my collection. I highly recommend their work. ~ KS
