Having isolated the figures of the seven talismans originating in the work of Thaytamen in my previous article, I`ve compiled 21 tables comparing all possible seals on these pentacles, using them as a resource in order to identify the migration of these figures through texts.
The seals are given from the newest (Lans.1202) to the oldest (Darmstadt).
The first seven tables compare the complex seals of the planets found on the face of the talismans, each one enclosed in a convex geometrical figure with an equal number of points associated numerically with the planet.
The next seven tables show the characters placed on the right of the magical square on the back, presumably the characters of the archangel placed on the left.
The last seven show the characters placed beneath the square, presumably associated with the planetary spirit placed on the top.
A very interesting addition I considered worthy of including is the seal found in John Dee`s Tuba Veneris (London, 1580, noted TV in table 5) which is clearly inspired from our texts.
Note:
If you find this helpful, share it or consider becoming a patron, in order to keep this free resource going with as much new material as possible. Thank you.
And don`t steal my work for your own profit, thanks.
