The Third Pentacle of Venus: The Seal That Draws Love by Being Shown
Share
Among the five pentacles of Venus in the Key of Solomon, the Third carries one of the most direct and remarkable instructions in the entire grimoire: merely showing this seal to another person is said to draw their love toward the holder. No elaborate ritual, no spoken incantation, no complex preparation — the seal itself, shown to the desired person, creates the pull of affection that draws their love toward the one who carries it.
This directness is the Third Pentacle's defining quality. It is not a seal that works through gradual cultivation or complex magical operation; it is a seal that works through presence — through the magnetic force that the seal itself carries and transmits to anyone who encounters it. The practitioner who wears the Third Pentacle carries that magnetic force with them wherever they go, and anyone who encounters them encounters the seal's love-drawing power.
The Seal's Purpose: Targeted Love-Drawing
The Key of Solomon describes the Third Pentacle of Venus as a targeted instrument for drawing the love and affection of specific individuals. This specificity distinguishes it from the First Pentacle's general Venusian grace: the Third Pentacle is not about broad social magnetism or general attractiveness, but about the specific pull between two people — the direct drawing of a specific person's love toward the holder of the seal.
This targeted quality makes the Third Pentacle particularly valuable for practitioners who have a specific person in mind — who are not seeking general attractiveness but the specific affection of a specific individual. The seal creates a pull of love between the holder and those who encounter it, and that pull can be directed toward a specific person through the practitioner's stated intention.
The Angel Monachiel
The Third Pentacle's working calls upon the angel Monachiel during the day and hour of Venus. Monachiel is a Venusian angel — an intelligence within Venus's sphere whose nature and function are aligned with the planet's qualities of love, attraction, and the magnetic force that draws people together. Invoking Monachiel during the Venus hour on Friday aligns the seal's operation with the full current of Venusian love-drawing power, amplifying its magnetic effect.
The Border Text: Genesis 1:28
The border of the Third Pentacle draws from Genesis 1:28 — the divine command to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth. This is not an obvious choice for a love-drawing seal, and its selection reveals the depth of the tradition's understanding of attraction. The generative force of creation — the divine command that drives all living things toward connection, reproduction, and the filling of the earth with life — is invoked as the engine of the Third Pentacle's attraction. The pull it creates is not merely personal preference; it is the fundamental generative force of creation itself, directed toward the specific connection the practitioner seeks.
Who the Third Pentacle Is For
The Third Pentacle is for practitioners who want to draw the love of a specific person through the direct magnetic force of the seal's presence — who want to carry an instrument of targeted attraction that works through being present rather than through complex ritual operation. It is for those who want the specific pull between two people, directed toward the person they desire.
