Ritual of the First Jupiter’s Pantacle of the Key of Solomon
According to McGregor Mathers (whose real name was Samuel Liddell, one of the founders of the Golden Dawn), who translated the key of Solomon (the major and the minor) and used the seals and invocations in different rituals (it should be noted that McGregor Mathers was a polyglot, speaking and writing English, French, Latin, Hebrew, Gaelic, Ancient Greek, Coptic); there are different ways of using the seals in rituals.
One way is to open them with the mind’s eye, through meditation and proper breathing. Another is to draw on the floor and on the altar, like a magic circle and perform an evocation ritual (in the major key the use of the evocation triangle is not specified but in the minor key the use of the circle, the evocation triangle and the crystal is much clearer). Another way is to rest your fist on the seal imagining a circular light with your eyes closed and repeating the psalm or the names on the seal. Another way is with a special ritualised candle and with a specific meditation, repeating the psalms and visualising the relevant sigils, in this particular ritual I have added the sigils of the angels it names, i.e.: Parasiel, Netoniel, Devachiah, Tzedequiah…together with the archangel of Jupiter.
The call is made to the archangel and then to each of the named angels. Once this is done, the prayer is made (in this case for success in business, work, money, or finding treasures, i.e. hidden abilities within us that can bring us benefits) and we finish thanking and visualising our wish. In the case of the candle, it is consumed that day and extinguished to continue next Thursday, as Thursday is the day of Jupiter. The rituals must be done at least 3 times, being the magic number of Jupiter, or in multiples of 3. It is preferable to perform them in the hour of Jupiter, for this we must know and calculate its time. This is not necessary when we perform the ritual with the candle.
The pantacle serves to invoke the spirits of Jupiter, especially those that are inscribed. It can be seen how it is composed of different planetary signs of Jupiter and around it are written the names of the following angels in Hebrew: Netoniel, Devechiah, Tzedequiah and Parasiel, the latter being the main one on the seal.
But let’s get to know a little about who these angels are, because in Magick, it is always advisable to know what you are doing and who you are calling.
Arasiel, angel of treasures and brings success and wealth.
Tzedequiah, angel of Jupiter who brings tranquillity, serenity and peace, in this particular aspect he brings us security.
Netoniel, ángel qNetoniel, angel who brings us honour and riches.ue nos aporta honor y riquezas.
Devachiah, angel who brings good luck and charisma.
To open the seal we must first invoke the archangel of jupiter, Tzadquiel or Sachiel with his seal.
