Thuban's power is that it helps with the process of refinement within any type of craft, particularly of the arts. There is both a martial and saturnine quality to this star. The martial quality is the determination to hone one's skills and artistry, and the Saturnian aspect is the patience and discipline to see it through. This materia's purpose is to place the user into a flow state as they hone their technical skills. This willingness to cultivate the necessary skills is the power of the talisman, and it can be incredibly beneficial in elevating one's work to the next level.
Thuban, the tail of the Draco, is located in the far northern sky in between Ursa Minor and Cygnus. A circumpolar star once upon a time ago and used as the north star before precession. From an alchemical perspective, the dragon represents The Great Work, which is ultimately a process of conjoining and dissolving. Alchemy has an animist view, meaning that everything in existence contains spiritual essence. The method of alchemy begins with the separation to remove the dense materials to unearth the essence. That essence is then transmuted further by adding to it, which repeats the process until the philosopher stone is created. This moving to the purest form is like the golden apple Ladon is charged with defending. Just as Thuban was a guiding star thousands of years ago Thuban can once again act as a guide that leads us to treat all of our efforts with the level of dedication as entering the alchemical great work.
