With our “Raise Your Vibration” mission forever in mind, we at La DoubleJ like to explore energy in all of its various and beautiful formations. To celebrate the launch of our new Guardians Collection, we uncovered the fertile energy in our own backyard, and tapped into one of the most potent magic hotspots in the world, Torino, a city whose position makes it uniquely balanced between white and black magic. Our beautiful co-hosts on this journey - artist Elisa Seitzinger, chef and author Mimi Thorisson, and esoteric expert Virgo - are Turin locals, and each shared their unique experience of this special city with us for our Guardians-inspired tour. We were even joined by three of our Big Sisters - healers Harmanjot Kaur, Federica Ferro and Iris - who led meditations at each spot to amplify our Guardians' potencies. For those who couldn’t join us live, we’ve compiled this guide of the best white magic hotspots to create one’s own personal adventure through this city (and have added some black magic sites too for those who want an esoteric deep dive!)
Stop 01, 2.40pm
Piazza
Castello
& The Royal
Palace
Castello
& The Royal
Palace
Piazza Castello is considered a powerful portal of positive energy. Sit exactly in the middle of the two statues of Pollux and Castor, and you should receive that recharging force. It is also said that the Savoy family, occupants of the nearby Royal Palace, were in possession of a small piece of Unicorn (our Guardian at this location) considered among the most powerful and sacred talismans.
"Blending Mimi Thorisson’s compassionate Quan Yin power, Elisa’s artistic imprint, and Valentina’s esoteric expertise, this sisterhood city tour is an alchemical marriage of uplifting energy and high vibrations."
Stop 02, 3.20pm
Palazzo
Madama & The Alchemical
Caves
Madama & The Alchemical
Caves
It is said that to access the alchemical
caves inside the gardens of the Royal Palace one must pass through the sacred gate, where there is the point of maximum positive energy. Fitting then, that
The Sphinx should be our Guardian here, as the holder of the keys to our creativity and imagination.
“Torino è la città, più profonda, più enigmatica, più inquietante, non d’Italia ma del mondo.”
Stop 03, 4.00pm
Piazza
San Carlo
San Carlo
Associated with our powerful Dragon Guardian, we find, at the heart of this stunning central square, the magical bull that saved the city of Torino from the dragon. Walking across this trail-blazing toro is said to give you luck!
Stop 04, 4.15pm
The Po
River
River
Now we come to the potent River Po, upon who’s confluence with the River Dora the city of Turin was built. Said to symbolise the sun, the river Po is a wildly powerful positive hotspot as well as being a literal channel of strong water energy (what better Guardian to guide us here than the Mermaid!)
Stop 05, 4.45pm
Chiesa della
Gran Madre
di Dio
Gran Madre
di Dio
Who better to conclude our tour with than The Angel Guardian at the Church of the Gran Madre. On the steps of this church stands the angel said to be the bearer of the secret location of the Templar treasure,
the perfect host to usher us into the shadow season with the protection and positivity of Turin’s white magic.
