Occult Knowledge - 4th Pentacle of Mercury in Mercury Cazimi Oil

Engraved in brass, a mixed metal, at the specified timing according to the Greater Key of Solomon and empowered in the same astrological election as my Mercury Cazimi in Gemini Oil, which it has been encased with permanently in order to supercharge the 4th pentacle of Mercury’s powers to “acquire the understanding and knowledge of all things created, and to seek out and penetrate into hidden things,” in addition to the virtues of the oil itself.

Inspired by Thai amulets which are often yantras carved in metal scrolls and floated in empowering oils, these are a Western conceptual homage to the amulets that inspired me to start making magical items in the first place. And they are potent!

The short cantrip for this pentacle is the same as in the source text and will be sent upon ordering, and while offerings are not a requirement, it is my experience that a person gets the most out of all magical items when they treat those items, and their spirits, as people; Thanked for their help with offerings appropriate to them, and/or good deeds done in their name as an offering (also known as offering Merit.)

Special thanks to Mat of Dragonstone Astrology for this election.
