I started working with the “The Greater Key of Solomon – Order of the Pentacles” in the beginning of this year. My interest was mainly geared towards the first pentacles, the ones that are suited towards invoking the spirits attributed to the sphere that was mentioned. For people that do not know it, The Greater Key of Solomon – Order of the Pentacles is a grimoire or magical workbook that gives the seals and descriptions of pentacles to be made or fashioned that will serve to work with spirits in a certain manner, depending on the nature of the working.
I started in January 2017 and made use of the 1st Pentacle of Mars, the 1st of the Moon and the 5th of the Moon; The first one was supposed to work and serve as an improvement in invoking my Patron, My Lord Samael. Nothing wrong as the pentacle works just fine. I have seen things go better and noticed that the line of communication has improved.
The 1st Pentacle of the Moon was a gift to a spirit that I am working with and it has also served its purpose in the same way as described above. Plus the spirit showed himself to me which was great since he does not have a known general appearance and is short and straight to the point, a bit shy even. Now he is becoming more vocal and involved in my life.
Regarding the 5th Pentacle of the Moon, I pretty much saved the best for last; this Pentacle is said to give answers in sleep, so dream prophecy. I am not a dreamer and rarely dream; when I go to sleep it is lights out for me in my head and done. I will dream about something silly once in a year and know right away that it did not mean anything. But the kind of dreams that are vivid and jarring sometimes, shaking you up and making you feel like you did not rest well at all- now those are the ones that matter. The pentacle has done its work well also, since I have had these type of dreams over 5 times in the past 2 months, and my senses tell me in most cases who the dream-giver is. Most summoned entities give me a sign in this way, where this was not the case before. The only drawback is that the dream is coded and I have to go find out what it meant. I do not mind, but I felt like this needed pointing out.

The Utilization Of The Gkos- Ootp
The GKoS is an abbreviation that Magicians use to refer to the Greater Key of Solomon, generally the Order of the Pentacles. I’ll be discussing how to use them below in depth.
First off, I will NOT be discussing using the first pentacles because I already do so in the beginning of this article; I’ll therefore be talking about the other pentacles, the ones that aren’t “boosters etc.”; also, any other pentacles I’ve covered throughout my career other than the aforementioned (1st) will be excluded, e.g. the first pentacle of Mars (see below) or the Sun.
I also need to point out that what you’ve seen in the GKoS- OotP, provided you’ve read it, is that it is essentially to be used within the confines of existing (classical) magickal operations; that’s why you’re seeing a good deal of descriptions, like “it is to be used when in the magickal circle” etc.- let me spell it out for you, reader: It is NOT necessary to do so, meaning you’re free to use ONLY the Pentacle as a ritual or magickal operation by itself. No existing one needed.
I’ll be using this pentacle as an example, The Second Pentacle of Mars; see the description in the GKoS: This Pentacle serveth with great success against all kinds of diseases, if it be applied unto the afflicted part. Editor’s Note.– The letter Hé, in the angles of the Hexagram. Within the same the Names IHVH, IHShVH Yeheshuah (the mystic Hebrew Name for Joshua or Jesus, formed of the ordinary IHVH with the letter Sh placed therein as emblematical of the Spirit), and Elohim. Around it is the sentence, John i. 4:– “In Him was life, and the life was the light of man.” This may be adduced as an argument of the greater antiquity of the first few mystical verses of the Gospel of St. John.
The merit of this Pentacle is clear, it’s to prevent & heal disease(s) of all & any kind; how does one apply this then, and what factors play a part? By default, your intentions (which should be pure obviously), your mental strength, magickal level of proficiency (if any), the nature of your affliction (so disease) are notable factors. This Pentacle, based on the context, is primarily for physical illnesses rather than mental (but both are applicable).
Practical examples for mundane people are wearing this image as a talisman or a necklace, having the image printed out or better yet, handmade- or drawn & carried subsequently in one’s pockets or handbag(s) etc. A tattoo is also a great idea, but you need to, especially with the last option, be absolutely sure of yourself in terms of results. How? Listen to your own senses & put it through a “trial-run” or “test-run”. Enough said.

The First Pentacle Of The Moon (In Detail)
In the description below you can see what it covers, taken from the greater key of Solomon – the order of the Pentacles; it helps one Excel in summoning spirits aligned with the moon regarding planetary nature & affiliation, and especially the latter statement tickles my fancy, where it says that it serves the open doors in whatever way they may be fastened. It of course doesn’t take a genius to know that this is a metaphor and generally speaking this would mean attaining something that is seemingly unattainable, no differently than when someone says that for example learning another language will open doors for you.. it simply means that you’ll be given opportunities that you did not have before.
I’ve looked into this Pentacle in detail (just now) and (surprisingly to some) it possesses Martian and Mercurial properties; obviously this is meant within this specific context, not too confuse anyone. I am NOT saying that it is Martian or Mercurial, I am merely stating that it has these “flavors” to them regarding the subject matter at hand. Anyways, Martian in the sense that it compels in a commanding manner for lunar spirits to come & Mercurial in the sense that the aforementioned “doors” that are fastened to be opened utilizing this pentacle can be opened so to speak, thereby giving the operator the knowledge and subsequent/consequential benefits that he seeks or sought out. It will specifically make the practitioner in question so clairvoyant that he or she will be able to ask any question or query and will receive the answer with maximum accuracy and practicality under given conditions and circumstances, especially when matters are executed at maximum levels that will only obviously serve to amplify things as a whole.
My old Pentacle I used as a beginner for the purposes of summoning Lunar entities back in 2017

The Seventh And Last Pentacle Of Jupiter
The Seventh And Last Pentacle Of Jupiter, as shown in the image above, has the following description:
It hath great power against poverty, if thou considerest it with devotion, repeating the versicle. It serveth furthermore to drive away those Spirits who guard treasures, and to discover the same.
Editor’s Note.– Mystical Characters of Jupiter with the verse:– “Lifting up the
poor out of the mire, and raising the needy from the dunghill, that he may set him
with princes, even with the princes of his people.” – Psalm cxiii. 7.
Utilization of this Pentacle will definitely do as aforementioned. I shall explain in this article how exactly and related.
The pentacle is very instigatory by nature (ofc. in a good way) & will give the operator that works with it a great amount of energy and will organize events in such a way/manner as to see to a considerable amount of money/income/funds; it’ll apply everything from improving or outright attaining beneficial bonds with people in positions of power, making one versatile which (obviously) will lead to multiple sources of financial gains, giving one artistic ability(ies) if or when practical, to the treasure bit. Regarding the latter, be advised that this is done more by sheer force (rather than intellect/logic); reason I bring this up is that one of course needs to plan it all out well for max. success in such a daring venture. My own below.
Freedom From Incarceration Through The 7th Pentacle Of The Sun
There aren’t too many methods in the occult for dealing with being locked up to the point where one gains His freedom back, so to speak. Here I’ll cover one of the most effective methods for doing so.
The Seventh and Last Pentacle of the Sun. – If any be by chance
imprisoned or detained in fetters of iron, at the presence of this Pentacle, which
should be engraved in Gold on the day and hour of the Sun, he will be immediately
delivered and set at liberty.
Editor’s Note.– On the Arms of the Cross are written the Names of Chasan, Angel
of Air; Arel, Angel of Fire; Phorlakh, Angel of Earth; and Taliahad, Angel of water.
Between the four Arms of the Cross are written the names of the Four Rulers of the
Elements; Ariel, Seraph, Tharshis, and Cherub. The versicle is from Psalm cxvi. 16,
17:– “Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder. I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of
thanksgiving, and will call upon the Name of IHVH.”
The above Pentacle taken from the GKOS is perfect for the aforementioned task; I’ll explain how it works in general/overall.
Let’s say you’ve got someone that is detained or incarcerated unjustly or has been wronged in some way, shape or form e.g. He’s sentenced 10 years longer than He was supposed to, the act was committed in self-defense, or the judicial system presiding over His case was not of a “just nature” (wink-wink) and so on. What the Pentacle will do is put everything in motion in such a manner that the person is freed, so their case will be appealed/re-reviewed and the right people will be involved & take appropriate action to such an extent that Him being released ASAP will be the outcome, being acquitted of all charges and whatnot.
Things to keep in mind is that this type of venture, to avoid any confusions & misunderstandings, is not for people that are genuinely guilty and need to (karmically) pay the price for their misdeeds etc. or for cases where another factor or element is dominant, e.g. finance- or family related matters. In such a situation, the principle of who’s in the right/wrong applies & how much of the case is judicial in nature etc.
For the rest, you’re good to go.
The First Pentacle Of Mars
I’ll be discussing, as mentioned above, the 1st pentacle of Mars from the Greater Key of Solomon; the Order of the Pentacles.
My forecast (so divination) indicated that the result of placing the mentioned as a tattoo on my body, will make me more adept as a magician and more skilled overall, but the drawback (unsurprisingly) will be minor misfortune/accidents. See the tattoo (on my leg) here.
I have noticed all in terms of effects, with my astral senses increasing and me seeing on occasion the familiars of the spirits I work with, something that never happens, generally speaking. The drawbacks (unfortunately) too, with a tour I regularly take being fraught with accidents whereas it’s usually peaceful, as well as the car almost getting stuck in the mud on the ride home (took a detour that I thought would be quicker). All of these things happened within a week of my pentacle being etched on me, and are just a few examples.
