I recently purchased a bargain bin book that had a few seals on it. The Science of Wallace D. Wattles, is the last place I would have expected to find any (the book contains nothing on ceremonial magic whatsoever). I have no idea what they are or why they're there. As I have little experience with recognizing seals, I'd be happy if anyone wants to help ID them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I uploaded them to the occult album section:
http://www.sacred-magick.org/index.php?act..._album&album=53

The 7th scan appears to be the 1st pentacle of saturn. The 1st, 2nd and 5th scan again look similiar to pentacles of solomon, but certainly not exact. The others like you, I havn't seen before.

Loki

the first is from the black pullett...

the second looks like a solomonic pentacle, it could be from the original manuscripts (the widely available pdf of the greater keys have pentacles that look very different from the originals)...

the third is I think constantines seal, which he used to be victorious in battles...

the fourth is also from the black pullett I think...

the fifth is from the grand grimoire I think, or one of those faustian type grimoires...

the sixth and seventh are also solomonic looking...

and the last one looks like a seal for one of the shemha angels, BUT I'm probably wrong about that since I haven't looked at those seals in awhile.

i must agree whit imperial arts but i did not find 8th and 4 th in any of the grimories and other books i checked either.
but why in the world are they there. the 5th 2nd i understand. maybe to improve his writing skills and just left it there for some reason (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Number 8 is the( 3rd) Seal of Leo (from Goetia of Dr. Rudd, page 334) It is missing a number of things....Number 4 is the obverse side of the same seal...but with some elaborations! You can also find these zodiacal seals in the Archidoxes of Magic by Paracelsus, published by Askin Publishers. It should be noted that these seals have definitive variations between the various published copies. These are dated to around 1620 or thereabouts (don't bet the farm...trying to establish proper dating of these things is a horrendous job!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The book is in the public domain, I'm guessing they wanted to give it an "occultish" look and slapped on random seals they found, not really knowing what they meant.

Thanks for all the help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) I'll just adjust the images so they say what they are & leave 'em up.

EDIT: nevermind can't seem to edit the pictures in the album... so here's a quick summary:
1 - (Black Pullet) #3 "This one will serve to conjur the celestial and infernal powers."
2 - (Reginald Scot) whoever carries this talisman will be revered by spirits
3 - Constantine's seal (truth?)
4 - (Goetia of Dr. Rudd, page 334) 3rd Seal of Leo [obverse], with some elaborations
5 - (Black Pullet) #8 "It will serve to activate as many spirits as you wish to undertake or to stop operations which would be contrary to you."6 - from Reginald Scot.
6 - (Reginald Scot) whoever carries this talisman will be revered by spirits
7 - 1st Pentacle of Saturn, designed to compel others to submit to the possessor's wishes & requests.
8 - (Goetia of Dr. Rudd, page 334) 3rd Seal of Leo, missing things
