The Fifth and Last Pentacle of Venus
When it is only showed unto any person soever, it inciteth and exciteth wonderfully unto love.
The Key of Solomon is the best known of the Renaissance grimoires, surviving in dozens of manuscripts in Latin, French, Italian and Hebrew. Mathers made his 1889 edition from seven manuscripts in the British Museum, and it is his plates that every later reproduction of these pentacles descends from.
The Key of Solomon the King (Clavicula Salomonis), translated and edited by S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers (London: George Redway, 1889). The text and the pentacles are in the public domain.
The pentacle is traced from the plate in the De Laurence edition of 1914 (Chicago: De Laurence, Scott & Co.), which reprints Mathers' plates at a larger size, and checked line for line against the 1889 printing.
Mathers' note: Around the central Square are the Names Elohim, El Gebil, and two other Names which I cannot decipher, and have, therefore, given them as they stand. The characters are those of the “ Passing of the River,” The surrounding versicle is from Psalm xxii. 14:—‘ My heart is like wax, it is melted in the midst of my bowels.”
