The Sixth Pentacle of Saturn
Saturn ♄︎ · Saturday · Lead · Black
What it is for
A curse: the person it is pronounced against is troubled by demons.
Its virtue
Around this Pentacle is each Name symbolised as it should be. The person against whom thou shalt pronounce it shall be obsessed by Demons.

What is written on it
A wheel of the mystical characters of Saturn.
The versicle
“Set thou a wicked one to be ruler over him, and let Satan stand at his right hand.”
Psalm 109:6
How it is made
- Engrave it in lead on a Saturday, in an hour of Saturn. Made in the planet's metal, it needs no particular colour.
- Or draw it on virgin paper or parchment, exorcised first, in black, the colour of Saturn.
- 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.
