The Second Pentacle of the Sun
With the first and third, to repress the pride and arrogance of the solar spirits.
Source: S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers, The Key of Solomon the King (1888), Book II ch. 18, Plate VII fig. 33; Peterson's e-text (esotericarchives.com) lists the same sequence. The 1-44 number follows the edition's own 'Order of the Pentacles' (Saturn first: 7+7+7+7+5+5+6); later books reorder (Mastros 2023 counts from the Moon), and the pentacle's own name is its per-planet ordinal. Mathers says this pentacle 'and the preceding and following' share the purpose, so the three are a group. No verse is given for this one; the letters are the Sun's characters and four angel names.
