SATURN.
Figures 11 and 12.
Figure 11. The First Pentacle of Saturn. –
This Pentacle is of great value and
utility for striking terror into the Spirits. Wherefore, upon its being shown to them
they submit, and kneeling upon the earth before it, they obey.
Editor’s Note.– The Hebrew Letters within the square are the four great Names of
God which are written with four letters:– YHVH, Yod, He, Vau, He; ADNI, Adonai;
IIAI, Yiai (this Name has the same Numerical value in Hebrew as the Name EL); and
AHIH, Eheieh. The Hebrew versicle which surrounds it is from Psalm lxxii 9; "The
Ethiopians shall kneel before Him, His enemies shall lick the dust."
Figure 12. The Second Pentacle of Saturn. –
This Pentacle is of great value
against adversaries; and of especial use in repressing the pride of the Spirits.
Editor’s Note.–
This is the celebrated
SATOR
AREPO
TENET
OPERA
R O T A S,
the most perfect existing form of double acrostic, as far as the arrangement of the
letters is concerned; it is repeatedly mentioned in the records of medieval Magic; and,
save to very few, its derivation from the present Pentacle has been unknown. It will be
seen at a glance that it is a square of five, giving twenty-five letters, which, added to
the unity, gives twenty-Six, the numerical value of IHVH. The Hebrew versicle sur-
rounding it is taken from Psalm lxxii 8, "His dominion shall be also from the one sea
to the other, and from the flood unto the world’s end. This passage consists also of
exactly twenty-five letters, and its total numerical value (considering final letters with
increased numbers), added to that of the Name
Elohim,
is exactly equal to the total
numerical value of the twenty-five letters in the Square.

Figures 13 and 14.
Figure 13. The Third Pentacle of Saturn. –
This should be made within the
Magical Circle, and it is good for use at night when thou invokest the Spirits of the
nature of Saturn.
Editor’s Note.
–
The characters at the ends of the rays of the Mystic Wheel are
Magical Characters of Saturn. Surrounding it are the Names of the Angels: Omeliel,
Anachiel, Arauchiah, and Anazachia, written in Hebrew.
Figure 14. The Fourth Pentacle of Saturn. –
This Pentacle serveth principally
for executing all the experiments and operations of ruin, destruction, and death. And
when it is made in full perfection, it serveth also for those Spirits which bring news,
when thou invokest them from the side of the South.
Editor’s Note.– The Hebrew words around the sides of the triangle are from Deut.
vi.4:– "Hear, O Israel, IHVH ALHINVH is IHVH ACHD." The surrounding versicle is
from Psalm cix. 18:– "As he clothed himself with cursing like as with a garment, so let
it come unto his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones." In the center of the
Pentacle is the mystic letter Yod.
Figure 15. The Fifth Pentacle of Saturn. –
This Pentacle defendeth those who
invoke the Spirits of Saturn during the night; and chaseth away the Spirits which
guard treasures.
Editor’s Note.– The Hebrew letters in the angles of the Cross are those of the
Name IHVH. Those in the Angles of the Square form ALVH, Eloah. Round the four
sides of the Square are the Names of the Angels:– Arehanah, Rakhaniel, Roelhaiphar,
and Noaphiel. The versicle is: "A Great God, a Mighty, and a Terrible."– Deut x. 17.

Figures 15 and 16.
Figure 16. The Sixth Pentacle of Saturn. –
Around this Pentacle is each Name
symbolized as it should be. The person against whom thou shalt pronounce it shall
be obsessed by Demons.
Editor’s Note.– It is formed from Mystical Characters of Saturn. Around it is writ-
ten in Hebrew: "Set thou a wicked one to be ruler over him, and let Satan stand at his
right hand."
Figure 17. The Seventh and Last Pentacle of Saturn. –
This Pentacle is fit for
exciting earthquakes, seeing that the power of each order of Angels herein invoked is
sufficient to make the whole Universe tremble.

Editor’s Note.– Within the Pentacle are the Names of the Nine Orders of Angels,
those of six of them in ordinary Hebrew Characters, and the remainder in the letters
which are known as "the Passing of the River." These Nine Orders are:– 1, CHAIATH
HA-QADESCH, Holy Living Creatures; 2, AUPHANIM, Wheels; 3, ARALIM,
Thrones; 4, CHASCHMALIM, Brilliant Ones; 5, SERAPHIM, Fiery Ones; 6,
MELAKIM, Kings; 7, ELOHIM, Gods; 8, BENI ELOHIM, Sons of the Elohim; 9,
KERUBIM, Kerubim. The versicle is from Psalm xviii 7:– "Then the earth shook and
trembled, the foundations of the hills also moved and were shaken, because He was
wroth."
