On either side is the Name “El Shaddai.” Around is written in Latin: — “Behold His face and form by Whom all things were made, and Whom all creatures obey.” 3preceding and following, belong to the nature of the Sun. They serve to repress the pride and arrogance of the Solar Spirits, which are altogether proud and arrogant by their nature. 4Editor's Note. — Mystical characters of the Sun and the Names of the Angels: — Shemeshiel, Paimoniah, Rekhodiah, and Malkhiel. 5(to the effects of the two preceding) to acquire Kingdom and Empire, to inflict loss, and to acquire renown and glory, especially through the Name of God, Tetragrammaton, which therein is twelve times contained. 6Editor's Note. — The Name IHVH, twelve times repeated; and a versicle somewhat similar to Daniel iv. 34: — “ My Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and my dominion endureth from age unto age.” 7thee to see the Spirits when they appear invisible unto those who invoke them; because, when thou hast uncovered it, they will immediately appear visible. 8Editor’s Note. — The Names IHVH, Adonai, are written in the centre in Hebrew; and round the radii in the mystical characters of the “ Passing of the River.” The versicle is from Psalm xiii. 3, 4: — “ Lighten mine eyes that I sleep not in death, lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him.” 9Spirits who can transport thee from one place unto another, over a long distance and in short time. 10Editor’s Note. — Characters in the “Passing of the River” Alphabet, forming Spirit’s Names. The Versicle is from Psalm xci. 11, 12: — “He shall give His Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands.” 11the operation of invisibility, when correctly made. 12Editor’s Note. — In the centre is the Mystical letter Yod, in the Celestial Alphabet. The three letters in the “Passing of the River” writing, in the Angles of the triangle, form the great Name Shaddai. The words in the same characters round its three sides are, in my opinion, from Genesis i. 1 “ In the beginning the Elohim created, &c.;” but the characters are sadly 13“ Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and make their loins con- tinually to shake. They have eyes and see not.” 14chance imprisoned or detained in fetters of iron, at the presence of this Pentacle, which should be engraved in Gold on the day and hour of the Sun, he will be immediately delivered and set at liberty. 15Editor’s Note. — On the Arms of the Cross are written the Names of Chasan, Angel of Air; Arel, Angel of Fire; Phorlakh, Angel of Earth; and Taliahad, Angel of Water. Between the four Arms of the Cross are written the names of the Four Rulers of the Elements; Ariel, Seraph, Tharshis, and Cherub. The versicle is from Psalm cxvi. 1 6, 1 7: — “ Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder. I will will offer unto thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the Name of IHVH.” 16serve to control the Spirits of Venus, and especially those herein written. 17Editor's Note. — Mystical Characters of Venus, and the Names of the Angels Nogahiel, Acheliah, Socodiah (or Socohiah) and Nangariel. 18also proper for obtaining grace and honour, and for all things which belong unto Venus, and for accomplishing all thy desires herein. 19Editor's Note. — The letters round and within the Pentagram form the Names of Spirits of Venus. The versicle is from Canticles viii. 6: — “ Place me as a signet upon thine heart, as a signet upon thine arm, for love is strong as death.” 20unto any person, serveth to attract love. Its Angel Monachiel should be invoked in the day and hour of Venus, at one o’clock or at eight. 21Editor's Note. — The following Names are written within the Figure: — IHVH, Adonai, Ruach, Achides, iEgalmiel, Monachiel, and Degaliel. The versicle is from Genesis i. 28: — “And the Elohim blessed them, and the Elohim said unto them. Be ye fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.” 22it compels the Spirits of Venus to obey, and to force on the instant any person thou wishest to come unto thee. 23Editor's Note. — At the four Angles of the Figure are the four letters of the Name IHVH. The other letters form the Names of Spirits of Venus, e.g.: — Schii, Eli, Ayib, &c. The versicle is from Genesis ii. 23, 24: — “ This is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. And they two were one flesh.” 24showed unto any person soever, it inciteth and exciteth wonderfully unto love. 25j Editor's Note. — Around the central Square are the Names Elohim, El Gebil and two other Names which I cannot decipher, and have, therefore, given them as they stand. The characters are those of the “ Passing of the River.” The surrounding versicle is from Psalm xxii. 14: — “My heart is like wax, it is melted in the midst of my bowels.” ‹Previous chapterKey of Solomon 47Next chapterKey of Solomon 49›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
