Trying To Copy Solomon's Circle But Cannot Read The Names Clearly Options

Can anyone assist me, I have peterson's edition of the lesser key and I cannot read the names clearly enough from the diagram. I know at the end of his edition there is a list but some of the spellings are incorrect and I'd like to know the exact names from the sloane manuscripts.

Anyone who can help me, it would be appreciated.

Also, do you write "candle" / "candol" at the four pentagrams, or is that just indication of where the candles go?

Thanks again.

Firstly, I would obtain the books of Aggripa and cross reference the names. Aggripa tends to be more reliable with the spelling. And also look at the scale of ten, which is what the circle is based on. You should also be aware there are several versions of the goetic circle aswell.

Secondly, it indicates where the candles go.

Thanks very much. I've found the names in English - I guess it's just a matter of working out which spellings to use.

Is it more benefitial to use Hebrew on the circle? Or does it not really matter?

I'm going to need the hebrew to paint onto my lion skin belt anyway, so where can I find what to put on the belt?

Does this seem an appropriate list to write around the circle? I've compiled this myself from the lists in the appendixes and a screwed-eyes reading of the picture in the Lemegeton.

Words in { } are not in the lists but are on the picture and I assume the picture takes precedence?

I believe its is always beneficial to have an understanding of whats around your circle. If you have no idea about hebrew then may be you should stick to english, rather than have characters that hold no meaning for you. The alternative is to study some hebrew and translate yourself.

There was a translation into hebrew knocking around on this forum, so perhaps if you do a search you might be able to find it. Though I believe it was taken from Crowley's/Mathers interpretation, hence there are errors.
