Saturn talisman experiment

This is the fourth planetary square talisman from Agrippa for today following those for Venus (which it'd be best if you read first), Mercury and Jupiter. So look up the other three articles for more in depth information about the ritual itself if you're interested, especially the one on the Venus talisman. 

Moving on with it, Agrippa said the following about the Saturn kamea:

"The first of them is assigned to Saturn, and consists of a square of three, containing the particular numbers of nine, and in every line three every way, and through each Diameter making fifteen. Now the whole sum of numbers is fourty five/ Over this are of Divine names set such names as fill up the numbers with an Intelligency to what is good, with a spirit to what is bad, and out of the same numbers is drawn the seal, or Character of Saturn, and of the spirits thereof, such as we shall beneath ascribe to its table. They say that this table being with a fortunate Saturn engraved on a plate of lead, doth help to bring forth, or birth, and to make a man safe, and powerfull, and to cause success of petitions with princes, and powers: but if it be done with an unfortunate Saturn, that it hinders buildings, plantings, and the like, and casts a man from honours, and dignities, and causes discords, and quarrellings, and disperses an Army." 

The election for this talisman I selected is a Saturday (ha!), March 12, 2022 at 10:06am GMT. I could've selected an earlier date, but I wanted to wait for Saturn to regain its usual transit speed after its recent retrograde period so that it would be at full strength. 

We see Saturn culminating in domicile and in a sign of its triplicity. The waxing Moon is in domicile and neither it or Saturn are involved in hard aspects. In case you're interested in making this talisman for its opposite powers then you'd have to wait for Saturn to enter Aries in a few years...

Edit: funny but since I've written the last five articles of this series in consecutive order and in such a hurry, I forgot to look up Saturn's shadow zone for its future retrograde and as a consequence I neglected to take it into account, Saturn being slower than usual in this election - it will come out of its shadow zone in late January 2023 and you'll have a few weeks of it still in Aquarius so imo it's best to wait until then ;)

As with the other talismans, start the ritual, tune the space, inscribe the talisman, call on the spirits, etc.
