The First Pentacle of Jupiter

Jupiter ♃︎ · Thursday · Tin · Celestial blue

What it is for

Calls the spirits of Jupiter, chief among them Parasiel, master of treasures.

Its virtue

This serveth to invoke the Spirits of Jupiter, and especially those whose Names are written around the Pentacle, among whom Parasiel is the Lord and Master of Treasures, and teacheth how to become possessor of places wherein they are.

What is written on it

The mystical characters of Jupiter on an eight-rayed wheel, ringed by the angels Netoniel, Devachiah, Tzedeqiah and Parasiel.

How it is made

  • Engrave it in tin on a Thursday, in an hour of Jupiter. Made in the planet's metal, it needs no particular colour.
  • Or draw it on virgin paper or parchment, exorcised first, in celestial blue, the colour of Jupiter.
  • The material must be new and never used for anything else. Metal is first purified by fire.
  • The size is up to you, as long as it is made by the rules. Burn the incense while you work, and be pure in body and mind.

From Mathers, Book I, chapter 18, "Concerning the Holy Pentacles or Medals".
