Okay, let’s talk about the “Pentacle of Saturn”. I’ve been messing around with this stuff for a while, and I finally got something to show for it. So, this whole thing started because I wanted to try out some practical magic. I’m not talking about pulling rabbits out of hats, but more like focusing energy, you know?
First, I had to figure out what I was actually doing. I read a bunch of stuff online, but most of it was either super vague or way too complicated. Eventually, I found a description of the Pentacle of Saturn that seemed kind of doable. It’s basically a symbol you make, and it’s supposed to help with things like protection and getting rid of negative vibes.
The instructions I found were pretty straightforward. You’re supposed to draw this thing on parchment or something like that. I didn’t have any parchment laying around, so I just used some good quality paper. I figured it should work in a pinch. It is not easy to find real parchment actually.
Getting the design right
- Drawing the circle: This was the first step. I used a compass, which I haven’t touched since high school. It wasn’t perfect, but it was close enough. The outer circle was kind of a pain, actually. Getting it just right is quite a chore.
- The inner symbols: Inside the circle, there’s a bunch of other symbols you have to draw. I had to look these up a few times to make sure I was getting them right. There’s a hexagram in the middle, which is basically a six-pointed star. It took some time to get the proportions correct. Then there are these weird symbols all around the edges. They’re supposed to be Hebrew letters, but I don’t know Hebrew, so I just copied them as best as I could.
- Inscribing the names: There are also some names you have to write around the circle. Again, I had to keep checking the source material to make sure I was spelling them right. It felt a little like doing homework, honestly.
After I had the whole thing drawn out, I felt a little silly, like I was just drawing doodles. But I decided to keep going with it. After all, I’d already spent a bunch of time on it. The next step was to “consecrate” it, which basically means saying some words over it and trying to focus my energy. I found some words online that seemed appropriate. They were kind of like a prayer, but not really. They were more like an affirmation, you know?
So I sat there, holding this piece of paper, and I said the words. I tried to really focus on what I wanted the symbol to do, which was to protect me and get rid of any negative energy that might be around. I don’t know if I did it right, but I felt a little different afterward. Maybe it was just because I was concentrating so hard, or maybe there was something to it. It was a weird feeling, kind of like I had just woken up from a nap, refreshed and ready to go.
I’ve been carrying this thing around with me for a few weeks now. I don’t know if it’s actually doing anything, but I feel a little more at ease, a little more protected. Maybe it’s just a placebo effect, but hey, it’s not hurting anything. And it’s kind of a cool conversation starter, although I haven’t actually started any conversations with it. People might think I’m nuts.
Anyway, that’s my story about the Pentacle of Saturn. It was a fun little experiment, and who knows, maybe I’ll try out some other symbols in the future. If nothing else, it was a good way to kill some time and learn a little bit about something new. You never know when this stuff might come in handy, right?
