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. Mars's archangel is Kamael or Chamuel depending on the table; the corpus follows the tree, where Mars's sphere is Geburah and Chamuel is the archangel.
