The First Pentacle of the Moon
Calls forth the spirits of the Moon and opens doors, however they are fastened.
Source: S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers, The Key of Solomon the King (1888), Book II ch. 18, Plate XI fig. 49; 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. Mathers describes the pentacle as a hieroglyphic representation of a door or gate. Its office overlaps the fifth Mercury pentacle; the verse is Ps 107:16. Where a Psalm is cited, the numbering is Mathers' English (KJV); the Hebrew numbering is lower.
