Third Pentacle

Third Pentacle of Venus

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.

Editor's Note.--The following Names are written within the Figure IHVH, Adonai, Ruach, Achides, Ægalmiel, Monachiel, and Degaliel. The versicle is from Genesis i. 28:--'And the Elohim blessed them, and the Elohim said unto them, Be ye fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it.'

Fourth Pentacle

Fourth Pentacle of Venus

It is of great power, since it compels the Spirits of Venus to obey, and to force on the instant any person thou wishest to come unto thee.

Editor's Note.--At the four Angles of the Figure are the four letters of the Name IHVH. The other letters form the Names of Spirits of Venus, e.g.:--Schii, Eli, Ayib, etc. The versicle is from Genesis ii. 23, 24:--'This is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. And they two were one flesh.'

Fifth Pentacle

Fifth Pentacle of Venus

When it is only showed unto any person soever, it inciteth and exciteth wonderfully unto love.

Editor's Note.--Around the central Square arc the Names Elohim, El Gebil, and two other Names which I cannot decipher, and have, therefore, given them as they stand. The characters are those of the 'Passing of the River.' The surrounding versicle is from Psalm xxii. 14:--'My heart is like wax, it is melted in the midst of my bowels.'
