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. The Moon's archangel is Gabriel; the intelligence and spirit names vary more than the other planets', and the forms given are the common Agrippa-derived set.
