Paracelsvs Of the supreme mysteries of nature.: Of [brace] the spirits of the planets. Occult philosophy. The magical, sympathetical, and antipathetical cure of wounds and diseases. The mysteries of the twelve signs of the zodiack. / Englished by R. Turner, philomathēs.

The Seal of Taurus is made of the Metals following.

℞ Of ♀ ℥ i. Of ♃ ʒ i. Of ♂ ℥ ss. Of ☉ ℥ ii.

They are all to be mixed together by melting them, the Sun being in Taurus, which every yeer happens about the eighth day of April. And in the very point of the Suns ingress into this signe, this Seal must be begun, and forthwith finished, or else the whole work will be fru∣strate. And when the Moon is in the 10 degree of Taurus, it is to be applied.

For the expedition of this work, there may be engraven some stamps of Iron first, wherewith the Seal may be coined after it is melted, where∣by all the Signes and Words are quickly imprin∣ted. So all the other Seals may be done: for oftentimes the hour slips away before they can be finished, and then happens the greatest detri∣ment to this work. Wherefore the time is chiefly to be noted, as having the greatest power in these operations.
