A note on this entry

Lenormand cards are read in pairs and lines rather than as archetypes; the playing-card inset is traditional and is not used in every school. This deck is the 36-card Petit Lenormand, not the 54-card Grand Jeu.

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 Sun's archangel is Michael in the Golden Dawn scheme; Raphael is the archangel of Mercury in the tree, and the two are often confused.
