Goetic Sigil Raphael
Goetic Sigil Raphael
The Archangel of Mercury and ruling over Wednesday, Raphael features their sigil from the Heptameron on the front, as well as their name. To honor Mercury the medallion is infilled with orange and black hard enamel. On the back is the astrological sign of Mercury and the zodiac signs for Gemini and Virgo, both inside a octagram whose eight points correspond to the number eight for Mercury. Outside the octagram is the name of the second heaven, Raquie.
Of Raphael and the other spirits of Wednesday the Heptameron says the following; "The Spirits of the Air of Wednesday are subject to the South-west-winde: their nature is to give all Metals; to reveal all earthly things past, present and to come; to pacifie judges, to give victories in war, to re-edifie, and teach experiments and all decayed Sciences, and to change bodies mixt of Elements conditionally out of one into another: to give infirmities or health; to raise the poor, and cast down the high ones; to binde or lose Spirits; to open locks or bolts: such-kinde of Spirits have the operation of others, but not in their perfect power, but in virtue or knowledge."
