A note on this entry

Jupiter's identification with Zeus is ancient, Roman and never merely literary - the Capitoline image was made in a Greek manner from the first - but it is still an interpretation rather than an identity: the Roman god is the oath, the law, the triumph and the state, where Zeus is the sky's king and the father of a mythic family. Almost every Zeus story read into Jupiter is Greek; the Roman cult's own record is the calendar, the flamen Dialis and the Capitol. The planetary correspondence is Hellenistic, not Roman.

Modern Practice

Jupiter is called on when an undertaking needs to be sworn to rather than merely started - vows, offices, treaties, public work - and for the thunder's own favour before a large and visible act. His practice is formal: speak the promise aloud, name what will be owed, and keep it.

Mythology Summary

Jupiter (Iuppiter) is the Roman sky father and the head of the state religion: the god of the thunderbolt, of the oath and of the law that binds a people. His temple on the Capitoline, dedicated in the first year of the republic and shared with Juno and Minerva, was where the triumph ended and where Rome kept its covenant with the gods. His priest was the flamen Dialis, hedged about with taboos, and the Ides of every month were his.

Planetary talismans

Tradition · AgrippaPlanetary Talisman
A note on this entry

The seal, intelligence and spirit are Agrippa's (Three Books of Occult Philosophy, Book II); the metal, stone and herb are the planet's standard correspondences. An electional talisman needs the planet's day and hour, a suitable Moon, and the planet not retrograde or combust. Jupiter's archangel is Zadkiel (Sachiel in some tables); the intelligence and spirit names are Agrippa's.
