JUPITER

The second planet of the "Celestial" collection is Jupiter, which means "Father of the Sky", although it was also known by names such as Diespiter (Father of the Day), Zeus (Day), and Phaethon (Shiner).

In ancient times, tin was considered the metal of this planet, but in Kabbalah, silver was attributed to Jupiter instead. In a later period, platinum was also associated with this planet, valued among merchant and noble circles. In my work, I use silver covered with a metal from the platinum group.

Jupiter's sacred number was considered to be 4, which in Kabbalah corresponds to the Divine Mercy (Chesed, the fourth sephirah of the Tree of Life). Therefore, Jupiter's figure is a mere square, which in various cultures serves as a symbol of the universe, embodying the realm of the four elements.

According to medieval French manuscripts, symbols of this planet were used "to attract honors, wealth, and health, to discover precious metals, and to bring luck in both games of chance and games of skill":

pour les honneurs, les richesses, la santé, la decouverte des metaux precieux, pour rendre heureux au jeu de hazard et d’addresse

French manuscript

From the number of Jupiter (4), the square of this planet is derived, which is depicted in the middle. The square has four cells horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, the largest digit is 16 (4 squared), and the sum of all numbers is 136. According to Agrippa von Nettesheim, this square "brings gain and wealth, favor and love, peace and harmony among people, reconciles enemies, confers honors and high ranks, and also wise advisors; moreover, it breaks evil spells":

conferre lucrum & divitias, gratiam & amorem, pacem & concordiam hominum, & placare inimicos, confirmare honores & dignitates, & consilia: & dissoluere maleficia

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim

From this square, symbols located above the square, as well as names in the border, are derived. They are associated with Jupiter's sacred numbers 16, 34, and 136. In one of the French manuscripts where these symbols are listed, it is asserted that "with their help, one can easily study sciences, even if there is no predisposition for it":

par son moyen tu pourra facilement parvenir aux sciences quand même l’on aurait aucune des dispositions pour cela

French manuscript

Below the square is the seal of the archangel according to the medieval conception of Kabbalists about the seven heavens located beyond the earthly sphere. Jupiter corresponds to Tzadkiel, who "brings luck in dealings with kings, fills the purse with gold and silver, and gives familiar spirits capable of fulfilling all your commands":

soil vous rend fortuné aupres des Rois vous donne une bourse dans laquelle il y a toujours de l’or et de l’argent, vous donne des esprits familiers qui font tout ce que vous leur commandez

French manuscript

Jupiter's sigils are placed along the edges of the square, as well as characters based on geomantic figures known as Acquisitio (Acquisition) and Laetitia (Joy).

Since Jupiter corresponds to the number 4, this talisman is inlaid with 4 stones. In ancient lapidaries (books on the properties and nature of stones), sapphires and amethysts are attributed to Jupiter, as they are associated with the hardness of character and wisdom.

Also, the names of spirits associated with Jupiter and its manifestations in the material world are engraved in the border.
