The Third Pentacle of Venus

Its virtue

This, if it be only shown unto any person, serveth to attract love. Its Angel Monachiel should be invoked in the day and hour of Venus, at one o'clock or at eight.

The versicle

“And the Elohim blessed them, and the Elohim said unto them, Be ye fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.”

Genesis 1:28

How it is made

• Engrave it in copper on a Friday, in an hour of Venus. Made in the planet's metal, it needs no particular colour.
• Or draw it on virgin paper or parchment, exorcised first, in green, the colour of Venus.
• 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.
