Pentacle du sixième livre de moise

Summary[edit]

Description

the "pentagon, or omnipotent five corners", from The Sixth Book of Moses (a 19th century version)

The grimoire itself does not call this symbol a 'pentacle', but rather it is only esotericarchive's commentary that calls it a 'pentacle'. Also, unlike traditional pentacles, this symbol is not hung from the neck as a medal or sewn to the chest of one's garment, but rather it is traced in the air and drawn upon the ground. The tracing of this pentagrammic symbol in the air later inspired the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn to invent the "invoking pentagram" and "banishing pentagram".
