✹Planetary Talismans

Make a planetary talisman as the lesson teaches: the planet's magic square or sign inside a rim lettered with its divine name and angel, or the name in Hebrew, on the front; on the back your aim made into a sigil by any of the Sigil Maker's four methods, one of your saved sigils, or the traced sign of the planet's intelligence; in its metal or in the Golden Dawn's flashing colours, tilting to catch the light and turning over in your hand. Find the planet's hours over the next fortnight, best on its own day with the Moon waxing, and see whether the planet itself is strong in the sky, as the Picatrix asks; make and consecrate it step by step, with the three passes of the elements, a guide to vibrating the name, the sigil tracing itself as you engrave it, and a timed or full-screen charge that marks its sigil charged in My sigils; and keep a list of your talismans, with their recharging and whether they worked. Agrippa's tables, the Key of Solomon's pentacles and the history of the word are set beside the steps. Test the planet's magic square line by line, and thread its numbers in order to see how it was built.
