    Planetary Talismans
    -------------------

    "Distribute this as thou wilt, HOWEVER if thou profit thereby, then may
    thou be shunned by all, as a centre of pestilence."

    Nehemiah XII 53


    Instructions for making a planetary talisman
    --------------------------------------------

    1) Decide which planet the operation falls under. Here are some
    guidelines :

    Sun - Riches, honour, freedom, great balls of fire !
    Moon - Dreams, religion, secrets, women's 'problems'.
    Mercury - Intellect, science, writing skills.
    Venus - Riches, art, love, SEX.
    Mars - Reckless deeds, violence, BLOODSHED.
    Jupiter - Ambition, morals, justice.
    Saturn - Death, trustworthyness.
    Others - what others ??


    2) Maketh the talisman, using only materials sympathetic to that planet.

    Sun Gold
    Moon Silver
    Mercury Mercury or tin
    Venus Copper
    Mars Iron
    Jupiter Silver or tin
    Saturn Lead

    It is suggested that you employ the magic square, and the sigil of the
    spirit (for evil works), or the sigil of the intelligence (for good
    workings).

    The rest of the design is left to the ingenium of the magician.


    3) Now all that is left is to charge the talisman. It is better to
    charge the talisman the same day that it is made; in any case, make sure
    that the planetary aspects are favourable for the operation.

    Firstly prepare yourself an ink from the following :

    10 dozen Gall nuts
    3 oz Green Copperas
    4 oz Rock Alum

    ( Mix the ingredients into a pot of water, then boil over a fire of vine
    twigs (gathered in the full moon of March). Simmer for 13 minutes, or
    until it has acquired a slightly sticky consistency ). If the ingredients
    are out of season then pigeon's blood may be substituted.

    Take a piece of silk of the appropriate colour, and write on it the
    names 'Adonay, Ammastius, Anareton, Cosbos, Eloym', whilst reciting Psalms
    viii and lxxi. After the talisman has been charged, be sure to keep it
    wrapped in this silk, else it will soon lose its efficacy.

    Perform the invocation of the Olympic Spirit who rules over the planet.
    The method is given in full in the Isagogue of Arbatel, in essence it is
    as follows :

    " O Eternal and Omnipotent God, Who hast ordained the whole creation for
    Thy praise and Thy glory, as also for the salvation of man, I beseech Thee
    to send Thy Spirit <insert name>, of the <Solar, Lunar ....> Race, that he
    may instruct me concerning those things about which I design to ask him
    (or - that he may bring me medicine against the dropsy, etc).
    Nevertheless, not my will, but Thine be done, through Jesus Christ, Thine
    only begotten Son, Who is our Lord. Amen. "

    The Olympic Spirits are as follows :

    Sun - Och
    Moon - Phul
    Mercury - Ophiel
    Venus - Hagith
    Mars - Phaleg
    Jupiter - Bethor
    Saturn - Aratron

    Once summoned to visible appearance it is sufficient to get the Spirit
    to hold the talisman and swear (In the Name of God) that he will grant
    your request. (If you have difficulty in commanding the Spirit then you
    may employ the sigil of that spirit, this should be prepared beforehand
    and may be drawn on parchment in blood).

    Discharge the Spirit using the following formula :

    " Forasmuch as thou camest in peace and quietness, having also answered
    unto my petitions, I give thanks unto God, in Whose Name thou camest. Now
    mayst thou depart in peace unto thine own order; but return unto me again,
    when I shall call thee by thy name, or by thine order, or by thine office,
    which is granted from the Creator. Amen.

    " ...... Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to
    utter anything before God : for God is in heaven, and thou art upon earth;
    therefore let thy words be few. For a dream cometh through the multitude
    of business, and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words."
