Here follow the holy pentacles, expressed in their proper figures and characters, together with their special virtues; for the use of the master of art.
From this Head Crafter: References from the Hebrew testament are given from the Hebrew arrangement , and placed into the context they have come from. This makes it easier for me to understand the story (spell, from Speil, story) that gives this verse power. Unless I specifically lay claim to a translation, all Hebrew Testament quotes are taken from Hebrew-English Tanakh: the traditional Hebrew text and the new JPS translation; 2nd ed. Jewish Publication Society; 1999.

Figure 39. — The First Pentacle of Venus. — This and those following serve to control the Spirits of Venus, and especially those herein written.
Editor’s Note. — Mystical Characters of Venus, and the Names of the Angels: Nogahiel, Acheliah, Socodiah (or Socohiah) and Nangariel.
 |
Figure 40. — The Second Pentacle of Venus. — These Pentacles are also proper for obtaining grace and honour, and for all things which belong unto Venus, and for accomplishing all thy desires herein.
Editor’s Note. — The letters round and within the Pentagram
form the Names of Spirits of Venus. The versicle is from Song of Songs 8.6 —
“Let me be a seal upon your heart,
Like the seal upon
your arm,
for love is fierce as death,
Passion is mighty as Sheol;
Its darts are darts of fire,
a blazing flame.”
 |
Figure 41. — The 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 Ihova, Adonai, Ruach, Achides, Ægalmiel, Monachiel, and Degaliel. The versicle is from Genesis 1.28 — “God blessed them and God said to them, ‘Be fertile and increase, fill the Earth and master her; and rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and all the living things that creep on the Earth.’”
 |
Figure 42. — The 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 Ihova. The other letters form the Names of Spirits of Venus, e.g.: — Schii, Eli, Ayib, etc. The versicle is from Genesis 2.23-24 — “Then the man (‘Adam) said, ‘This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one shall be called «Woman» (‘Ishah), for from man (‘Ysh) was she taken.’ Hence a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, so that they become one flesh.”
 |
Figure 43. — The Fifth and last 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 22.15-16 — “My life ebbs away: all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax, melting within me; my vigor dries up like a shard; my tongue cleaves to my palate; You commit me to the dust of death.” (More context.)
