These beaded circlets of Puer are strung with ensorcelled fangs of coral, red-blooded ruby agate, and fiery-painted woods, conjured by specially-formulated Martial perfumes, and illuminated by scarlet candles anointed with consecrated oils and powders of valiant Martial virtues empowered by its Ruling Spirit Bartzabel. They can be worn to assist in all works of boldness, physical training, assertiveness, and self-belief, aiding us in cutting through uncertainty, second-guessing, and depressive episodes to bring renewed vigor, dauntless enthusiasm, and energetic physicality; as well as laid out to demarcate ritual spaces for empowering materia, spellcrafts, and spiritwork for these fearless Martial endeavours.

This can range from assisting good bodily and mental habits of exercise, training, and working with fire and metal, to helping us begin things we have been putting off, and to boldly work through challenges to emerge victorious. These circlets can also act as particularly potent tools in the arsenal of the spiritual worker who performs protection workings for themselves, their clients, and their community, and who may require additional support for fighting the good fight or even marshalling unruly spirits.

Working with these ritual tools can especially assist those suffering from low self-esteem, bodily fatigue, or habits of procrastination: whether struggling to put forth your work more publicly, advocate for oneself, or find the energy to do difficult but necessary things. They can be of particular help in re-discovering our enthusiasms, burning the midnight oil, and standing up to injustice.

Working with a Puer circlet can be as simple as wearing or carrying it when going to the gym, entering a competition, practicing your drills, strategizing for victory, or conjuring protective spirits and charms; as well as using them to encircle magical materials, tools, icons, and talismans to charge and empower them with additional intrepid virtues while intoning paeans to Mars, or to delineate ritual spaces in which divination and conjuration of Martial spirits can more effectively be conducted.

They are dedicated magical circuits cohering, radiating, and organising Mars’ Fiery courageous virtues. They may very well present their own unique utilities to experienced spiritworkers with ears to hear their spirits speaking; while those new to such geomantic magics are always welcome to message Dr Cummins for further instructions and ideas for working with them.
