The character of the planet itself, distinct from the characters of its intelligence and its spirit. Agrippa draws it out of the same square, from the divine names that stand over the numbers of Saturn, and prints the three together under the caption 'The Seals or Characters — Of Saturn; Of the Intelligence of Saturn; Of the Spirit of Saturn'. It is a traced character rather than a figure, and its exact shape depends on the reconstruction of the square and of the names, which is why no two printed copies agree.
Office
Carried or engraved, the seal is the shorthand of the whole sphere: it brings Saturn's virtue to bear without naming either the intelligence or the spirit, and it is what a talisman is actually inscribed with when the operator wants the planet rather than one of its servants. Agrippa's account of the table makes the seal the practical end of the arithmetic — the numbers first, then the divine names, then the character drawn out of them.
