The Seventh Pentacle of Jupiter
Jupiter ♃︎ · Thursday · Tin · Celestial blue
What it is for
Against poverty, and for driving off the spirits that guard treasure.
Its virtue
It hath great power against poverty, if thou considerest it with devotion, repeating the versicle. It serveth furthermore to drive away those Spirits who guard treasures, and to discover the same.

What is written on it
The mystical characters of Jupiter on an eight-rayed wheel.
The versicle
“Lifting up the poor out of the mire, and raising the needy from the dunghill, that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.”
Psalm 113:7
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".
