The Days and Hours of the Sun are very good for perfecting experiments regarding temporal wealth,

hope, gain, fortune, divination, the favour of princes, to dissolve hostile feeling, and to make friends. Similarly the four several numbers of the Sun are 6, 36, 111, and 666. Another more prosaic example of tracing sigils from the magical squares can be demonstrated by taking my first name ISRAEL, and converting it into Hebrew, thus: Yod Shin Resh Aleph Lamed 10 300 200 1 30 For the purpose of demonstration only, let us assume that we want to trace it on the magical square of the Sun, shown among the other kameas in the appendix.

In the Western system of numerology, the letters have this evaluation: 123456789 ABCDEFGHI J K* L M N O P Q R S T U V* W X Y Z (I have placed an asterisk by the side of K and V, because they are considered Master numbers, and should not be reduced if at all possible.) Previously I used the name John, transliterating it into Hebrew. This time, let us retain the English letters and name, using the above Western or Pythagorean system. JOHN 1685 Solely for the purpose of illustration, let us trace this name JOHN on the Kamea of the Moon, which gives this Sigil:

Earth: Business, money, employment, practical affairs, etc. Air: Health, sickness, disputations, trouble, etc. Water: Pleasure, marriage, fertility, happiness, parties, etc. Fire: Power, dominion, authority, prestige, etc. Ether: All matters spiritual, howsoever they are interpreted. Some of the symbols on the Tarot cards could be reproduced to great advantage on the talismans, if the student wishes. For instance, if he were making a talisman to produce pleasure and joy, the Ace of Cups in any of the conventional packs is a beautiful symbol to be copied in ink or painted on to the silver crescent of Apas. For spiritual help in the hour of trouble, the sword and crown of the Ace of Swords which literally means evoked strength would be an ideal symbol to transpose on the blue circle of Vayu. The need for change in an otherwise dull poverty-stricken existence could well be represented by the Two of Pentacles in the Golden Dawn suit.

So what should a wisman look like?

A talisman should have an appropriate sha~ . A talisman should reRect che four levels of the universe. A talisman should contain the divine names from (he spheres on the Tree of Life. A talisman should contain the names of the archangel of the appropriate sphere on the Tree of Life, and the names of the intelligence and the spirit. A talisman should comain the symbol and seal of the appropriate planet. A talisman should contain an intention that draws together all the names

""d seals.
A talisman should contain a link between the ralisman and the person or object for whom the ralisman is designed. A talisman should be appropriately colored.

Making a talisman reHect the four-level nature of the universe is simple. You divide the talisman into four levels: the outer ring is the divine level, the next is the level of archangels, the next is the level of angels, and the remaining level is the

It is a bit like looking down the wrong end of a telescope, where God is the closest and the materia.l is the furthest away; and it depicts how power Hows down the levels {O focus on the material ponion of the talisman. Each of the four levels should be appropriately colored. The divine level should be paimed in the King scale, the archangelic level in the Queen scale, the Angelic level in the Emperor scale, and the material level in the EmprCS$ scale.
