The Sixth Pentacle of Jupiter

Its virtue

It serveth for protection against all earthly dangers, by regarding it each day devoutedly, and repeating the versicle which surroundeth it. Thus shalt thou never perish.

The Key of Solomon the King, Mathers (1889), Figure 23. Public domain.

What is written on it

A great cross bearing the names of the four rulers of the elements: Seraph, Kerub, Ariel and Tharsis.

The versicle

“They pierced my hands and my feet, I may tell all my bones.”

Psalm 22:16–17

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.
