<\/a><\/p>\nThe above image is the face and reverse of a paten created for the purposes of drawing wealth and riches to the bearer. Because it’s hard to come by a piece of silver large enough to burn candles on, I made these from pine, a tree which the Renaissance astrologer William Lilly assigned to the planet Jupiter, with silver leaf around the edges. The face is woodburned with the 4th pentacle of Jupiter, with the names of the angels in Agrippa’s malachim script and the versicle from the Psalm 112:3 in Latin. Translated it means: “Wealth and riches are in his house.” The square of Jupiter is burned into the reverse. These were made on the day and hour of Jupiter, with Jupiter in Cancer as prescribed in the Key of Solomon (the planet moves into Leo in July 2014). <\/p>\n

\nTo Jupiter
\nthe fumigation from storax<\/p>\n
O Jove, much-honour’d, Jove supremely great,
\nTo thee our holy rites we consecrate,
\nOur pray’rs and expiations, king divine,
\nFor all things to produce with ease thro’ mind is thine.
\nHence mother Earth and mountains swelling high
\nProceed from thee, the deep and all within the sky.
\nSaturnian king, descending from above,
\nMagnanimous, commanding, sceptred Jove;
\nAll-parent, principle and end of all,
\nWhose pow’r almighty shakes this earthly ball;
\nEv’n Nature trembles at thy mighty nod,
\nLoud-sounding, arm’d with light’ning, thund’ring God.
\nSource of abundance, purifying king,
\nO various-form’d, from whom all natures spring;
\nPropitious hear my pray’r, give blameless health,
\nWith peace divine, and necessary wealth.<\/p>\n
