The First Pentacle of Mercury
A pentacle, used for spirit conjuration and mercurial work, corresponding to Mercury and Throat Chakra.
Source: S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers, The Key of Solomon the King (1888), Book II ch. 18, Plate X fig. 44; Peterson's e-text (esotericarchives.com) lists the same sequence. The 1-44 number follows the edition's own 'Order of the Pentacles' (Saturn first: 7+7+7+7+5+5+6); later books reorder (Mastros 2023 counts from the Moon), and the pentacle's own name is its per-planet ordinal. No verse; the letters form the names of the two spirits, which Mathers gives as Yekahel and Agiel.
