such an object, designed with such a purpose. far be it from me to attempt yet another detailed interpretation of the figures in the "primavera. i want only to suggest that in the context of the study of ficino's magic the picture begins to be seen as a practical application of that magic, as a complex talisman, an "image of the world" arranged so as to transmit only healthful, rejuvenating, anti-saturnian influences to the beholder. here, in visual form is ficino's natural magic, using grouping of trees and flowers, using only planetary images and those only in relation to the "world, not to attract demons; or as shadows of ideas in the neoplatonic hierarchy. and, whatever the figures on the right may represent mythologically, is it not the spiritus mundi which blows through them, blown f

to translate the tone of agrippa's magic in terms of the "gifts" of the planets which it chiefly tries to attract, the answer might be that, whilst ficino's magic avoids saturn, agrippa's magic seeks the saturman gifts of high abstract contemplation and pure mathematics (thus, as botticelli's predominantly venus talisman, the "primavera, reflects the ficinian type of magic, durer's predominantly saturnian talisman, the "melencholia" engraving, reflects the agrippan type of magic.3) thus the renaissance magic was turning towards number as a possible key to operations, and the subsequent history of man's achievements in applied science has shown that number is indeed a master-key, or one of the master-keys, to operations by which the forces of the cosmos are made to work in man's service. 1

the jovial characteristics of benevolent law-giving and tolerance are seen to prevail in the constellations bootes,3 aquila,4 aries,5 libra,6 and others. there is also a strong venus influence, making for friendship and love, harmonising of discords, and the tempering of mars, or of forces making for war. venus triumphs in the pleiades7 and in gemini,8 and in dclphinus,9 she overcomes mars. good saturnian qualities, such as deep study and contemplation are preserved, for example in perseus,10 but the saturnian unsociability and other disagreeable qualities are tempered by jupiter or venus influences in other constellations. mars is everywhere kept down, being particularly snubbed by jupiter in cassiopeia' such, at least, is the kind of explanation which i would proffer of the curious list

each principle is stated, so that one can see at a glance that whilst jupiter (with juno) has eighteen images; apollo (if one counts with him the aesculapius group and sol) has twenty; and venus and cupid have twelve; saturn and mars have only four each. the personality which has captured powers through these images will thus be mainly solar, jovial, and venereal, with only a little of martial or saturnian qualities. extraordinary and strange though this may seem, it is not really more strange than the methods taught by ficino in his de vita coelitus comparanda. ficino's object was to avoid melancholy and the bad influences of saturn and mars, by cultivating the good planets, sol, jupiter and venus. he did this by his mild little astral cults which involved the use of talismans, and he int

the use of talismans, and he intended it as a medical therapy, to cure melancholy in students. nevertheless it was really more than this; it was, even with ficino, a kind of religion with a cult which he managed somehow or other to reconcile with his christian conscience. he did not aim at becoming a magus or wonder-worker through it. but he did aim at changing the personality, from a melancholy saturnian one into a happier and more fortunate jovial-solar-venereal type. giordano bruno, as we know from george abbot, knew ficino's de vita coelitus comparanda by heart and he has developed 331 giordano bruno: last published work ficino's sub-christian supposedly medical cult into an inner technique for the formation of a religious magus. it is really quite a logical development from ficino; o

u wish on him. this type of spell is perhaps best employed for encouraging general misfortune rather than any specific disaster, relying purely as it does on the use of the fortified imagination for contact between the respective deep minds. specific disaster should be left for envoutements using an object link, as described later in the chapter. on the other hand, should your candle burning be a saturnian type of operation, that is, one aimed at the induction of inertia, forgetfulness, or frustration of some sort or other, then you must invoke the dark power habondia, in her dark aspect, nocticula, using a black candle. the conjuration such as the one to be described below can be used with effect here. the magical landscape to be visualized should be one of darkness and mystery. one of th

head. in one withered hand a staff of blackthorn is grasped; in the other a torch flickers with a resinous, smoky flame. an owl, the symbolic bird of death, is perched on the being's shoulder. in the far distance, the baying of dogs or wolves can be heard ringing in the chill night air. their keeper, nocticula, ruler of the dead and warden of the tower adamantine, walks abroad! this is the basic saturnian image. embroider on it with your own fantasies by all means. the more personal and sinister they are to you yourself, the more effective your magic will become. the one thing to remember is that they should evoke in you all those childhood fears of the dark, the deserted churchyard by night, the opening tomb, and the thing in the cellar' all the horrors and bugbears that you can conjure

s by using one of the variants of the spell known to many practitioners as the tanglefoot charm. obtain an object link from your victim, either a strand of hair which you must plait into a cord with some red twine, or an article of clothing in which you can tie knots comfortably. on a night when the moon is waning, preferably a saturday midnight just before the new moon, cast your triangle with a saturnian fumigation, having bitter wine in the chalice, and stone twigs and bones upon your altar. in the altar triangle should be your specially prepared cord. invoke the dark power, using the circle crosses and the counterclockwise circumambulation, and when you feel that chilly, numbing presence is at hand, only then begin your spell. take the cord in your left hand (always the left hand for o

g to use magical, not physical, power. to pin a case of magical assault on anyone and make it stick is very difficult, whereas the use of very real botanical poisons could easily be construed as a highly antisocial activity, regardless of how the herbs happened to be administered. the herbal compositions, like the other subject matter of this chapter, fall into two distinct categories; those of a saturnian or inertia-inducing nature, and those of a martial one, the herbs of torment. i shall deal with the latter first. martial incenses this traditional magical martial incense of wrath and chastisement was composed of the following ingredients: gum ammoniac, euphorbium, bdellium, black and white hellebore roots, powdered lodestone or magnetized iron filings and sulphur, mingled with a few dr

skills" this question is coupled with "how do i compare with everyone else in my peer group" unfortunately we can't escape the comparison of ourselves to others. we live in a society that demands accountability once we enter the "age of reason" it is interesting to note that this begins in earnest when a child is 7, at which point they are usually in second grade. everything about this period is saturnian. accountability, selfdiscipline, separation from the nurturing parent (gratification is delayed not denied, until we get home from school and can tell about how hard it was. the rewards of hard work are also there, and that is a side of saturn that few appreciate or understand. at this time in a person's life, saturn is making its first 90 degree angle (as it transits through a person's

rt) to the place it was when the person was born. the 90 degree angle is one of inner challenge as the individual has to wrestle with inner realities and realign them with the demands of the outer world, or in some other way manipulate them to resolve the issues of this stage. for the setian, ritual work that relives memories of this period to complete or rework tasks would benefit from using the saturnian energy. selfesteem can be interchanged with the phrase "self-value" with that in mind, the following questions suggest themselves: 1. what task of my daily life, when i do it well, gives me the most sense of "damn, i'm good? 2. how many times today did i try to get someone else to notice me, give me a compliment, or in general take their time or attention for myself, when it probably wou
