The Pull Between Two People: How the Third Pentacle Creates Magnetic Connection

The Key of Solomon describes the Third Pentacle of Venus as working by creating a pull of affection between the holder and those who encounter it. This language — a pull between two people — is precise and revealing. The Third Pentacle does not merely make the practitioner more attractive in general; it creates a specific magnetic connection between the practitioner and the desired person, a pull that draws them toward each other and that grows stronger with each encounter.

The Magnetic Model of Attraction

The magnetic model of attraction — the idea that love and connection operate through a force analogous to magnetism, drawing people toward each other through an invisible but real pull — is one of the oldest and most persistent models in the love magic tradition. The Third Pentacle works explicitly within this model: it creates a magnetic pull between the holder and the desired person, a force that draws them together in the same way that a magnet draws iron toward it.

This magnetic model has several important implications for how the Third Pentacle works:

The pull is mutual: A magnetic force acts on both poles simultaneously. The Third Pentacle's pull of affection is not merely the desired person being drawn toward the practitioner; it is a mutual pull that draws both toward each other. The practitioner who wears the Third Pentacle may find that they are also more drawn toward the desired person — that the magnetic connection the seal creates operates in both directions.

The pull grows with proximity: Magnetic force increases with proximity. The Third Pentacle's pull of affection is strongest when the practitioner and the desired person are in each other's presence — when the seal is literally being shown to the desired person through the practitioner's wearing of it. Each encounter in which the seal is present strengthens the magnetic connection.

The pull is persistent: Magnetic force does not require continuous active effort to maintain; it is a property of the magnet itself. The Third Pentacle's pull of affection is similarly persistent — it is a property of the seal itself, continuously active whenever the bracelet is worn, not requiring constant ritual renewal to remain effective.

Building the Magnetic Connection Over Time

The Third Pentacle's magnetic connection builds over time through repeated encounters. Each time the practitioner is in the presence of the desired person while wearing the bracelet, the pull of affection is reinforced and strengthened. The desired person's experience of the practitioner is consistently colored by the seal's magnetic force, creating a cumulative effect that deepens the connection with each encounter.

This cumulative quality makes the Third Pentacle particularly effective for practitioners who have regular contact with the desired person — who see them at work, in social settings, or in any context where repeated encounters are possible. Each encounter is an opportunity for the seal's magnetic force to deepen the pull of affection between them.

When the Pull Becomes Undeniable

As the magnetic connection builds through repeated encounters, the desired person's experience of the pull becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. What begins as a vague sense of being drawn to the practitioner becomes a more conscious awareness of attraction, then a genuine feeling of love and affection that the desired person cannot explain away or dismiss. The Third Pentacle's pull, once established and reinforced through repeated encounters, becomes a genuine magnetic connection that the desired person experiences as their own authentic feeling.
