The Image of Jupiter
Prolongation of life is the office of the first form, made in the hour of Jupiter with the planet in his exaltation fortunately ascending. The second is for felicity, riches, honour, benevolence, prosperity and freedom from enemies. The third is for a religious and glorious life and the advancement of fortune.
Agrippa names a clear white stone and especially crystal; the corpus catalogues crystal as clear_quartz, since no separate 'crystal' id exists. The metal is the planet's own — tin — and is supplied by the correspondence, not by the chapter. The second image, the crowned man carried by four winged boys, is the one Warnock traces directly to the Picatrix, where it descends from the Zeus of Pausanias; the lion-or-ram head of the third is read by Tyson as a trace of Zeus Ammon or of Mithra. The chapter gives no election beyond the hour and the exaltation, and the fuller elections that modern talisman practice requires are its own construction.

Prolongation of life is the office of the first form, made in the hour of Jupiter with the planet in his exaltation fortunately ascending. The second is for felicity, riches, honour, benevolence, prosperity and freedom from enemies. The third is for a religious and glorious life and the advancement of fortune. All three are works of increase, which is what Jupiter is for.

- Image
A man crowned and clothed in saffron, riding an eagle or a dragon, a dart in his right hand as if about to strike it into the head of the eagle or dragon, cut in a clear white stone, especially crystal, in the hour of Jupiter with the planet in his exaltation ascending, for prolongation of life. A second: a naked crowned man, hands joined and lifted as if beseeching, seated in a four-footed chair carried by four winged boys, in a white and clear stone, for felicity, riches, honour, benevolence and prosperity and against enemies. A third, for a religious and glorious life: a man with the head of a lion or a ram and eagle's feet, in saffron clothes, called the son of Jupiter.
