Agrippa says each spirit's and intelligence's seal is “drawn out of the same numbers” as its planet's table, but he never spells out the steps. This tracer follows the method later readers reconstructed: turn each Hebrew letter into its number, find that number in the planet's square, and join the cells in order. A circle marks the start and a bar the end. Lay the 1651 figure underneath to see how close it comes.
New to the seals? Agrippa never says how they're drawn, but every piece of the method is somewhere in his book. Follow it page by page and draw your first seal yourself.
Seal of the planet
A symmetrical figure built from the shape of the whole square. It stands for the planet itself, not for any one being, so it isn't traced from a name.
Seal of the Intelligence
The planet's power turned toward good. Agrippa sets names over each table “with an Intelligency to what is good.”
Saturn: Agiel = 45
Seal of the Spirit
The same power turned toward harm, “with a spirit to what is bad.” Same square, often the same number: it's the other face of one force, as each table has a fortunate and an unfortunate use.
Saturn: Zazel = 45
Nearly every Intelligence and Spirit name adds up to one of its square's key numbers: the number of cells, the row sum, or the sum of the whole square. Pick one below and the tracer says which. Agrippa leaves the drawing as a test: “how the seals, and Characters of the Stars, and spirits are drawn from these tables, the wise searcher… shall easily find out.”
When a number is bigger than the square
All the seals, side by side
Each intelligence and spirit from Agrippa's tables, traced on its planet's square (left) next to the figure printed in 1651 (right). Some match closely; others differ, which is part of what scholars still argue about. Click a name to open it in the tracer.
