The Fourth Pentacle of the Moon
Defends against all evil sorcery and injury to soul or body; its angel Sophiel teaches the virtue of herbs and stones.
Source: S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers, The Key of Solomon the King (1888), Book II ch. 18, Plate XII fig. 52; 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 gives the versicle ('Let them be confounded who persecute me...') without citation and does not identify its source; the psalm is therefore left null rather than guessed.
