Seven Pentacles of the Sun, “Clavicula Salomonis” (The Key of Solomon), 14th century.
First Pentacle of the Sun (fig. 32) - This singular pentacle contains the head of the great angel Methraton or Metatron, the vice-gerent and representative of Shaddaï, who is called the Prince of Countenances, and the right-hand masculine cherub of the Ark, as Sandalphon is the left and feminine. On either side is the name ‘El Shaddaï.’ Around is written in Latin: ‘Behold his face and form by whom all things were made, and whom all creatures obey.’
Second Pentacle of the Sun (fig. 33) - Mystical characters of the Sun and the names of the angels: Shemeshiel, Paimoniah, Rekhodiah, and Malkhiel.
Third Pentacle of the Sun (fig. 34) - The name IHVH, twelve times repeated; and a versicle somewhat similar to Daniel iv. 34: 'My kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and my dominion endureth from age to age.'
Fourth Pentacle of the Sun (fig. 35) - The names IHVH, Adonai, are written in the center in Hebrew; and round the radii in the mystical characters of the 'Passing of the River.’ The versicle is from Psalm xiii. 3, 4: 'Lighten mine eyes that I sleep not in death, lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him.'
Fifth Pentacle of the Sun (fig. 36) - Characters in the 'Passing of the River’ Alphabet, forming Spirit’s names. The versicle is from Psalm xci. 11, 12: 'He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands.'
Sixth Pentacle of the Sun (fig. 37) - In the center is the mystical letter Yod, in the Celestial Alphabet. The three letters in the 'Passing of the River’ writing, in the angles of the triangle, form the great name Shaddaï. The words in the same characters round its three sides are from Genesis i. 1: 'In the beginning the Elohim created,’ etc.; but the characters are sadly mangled in the MSS. The versicle is from Psalms lxix. 23, and cxxxv. 16: 'Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. They have eyes and see not.'
Seventh Pentacle of the Sun (fig. 38) - On the arms of the cross are written the names of Chasan, angel of Air; Arel, angel of Fire; Phorlakh, angel of Earth; and Taliahad, angel of Water. Between the four arms of the cross are written the names of the four rulers of the elements: Ariel, Seraph, Tharshis, and Cherub. The versicle is from Psalm cxvi. 16, 17: 'Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder. I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of IHVH.'
