Seal of Jupiter - The Seven Pentacles
Origin of the Seal of Jupiter
The Seal of Jupiter originates from the ancient Solomonic magical tradition, particularly outlined in the Key of Solomon and other related grimoires. Its roots lie in the belief that celestial forces, specifically those governed by the planet Jupiter, could be harnessed through sacred symbols, divine names, and astrological alignments. The seal embodies Jupiter’s qualities of prosperity, authority, and expansion, drawing from Jewish, Christian, and medieval esoteric traditions. These magical symbols were likely influenced by earlier astrological and Kabbalistic systems, where the planet Jupiter was associated with benevolence, justice, and divine favor. The Seal of Jupiter and its related pentacles were developed as tools to channel these planetary energies for spiritual and practical purposes.
