Yekahel and Agiel are formed by letters in a pentagram. The opening Mercury notice assigns invocation of spirits described as being under the firmament. [1]

The opening Mercury pentacle invokes spirits under the firmament. Its notice gives this broad celestial setting; Mathers’s note identifies two names formed by the pentagram’s letters. [1]
A letter-bearing pentagram sits within concentric circles. Mathers says the letters form Yekahel and Agiel. [1]
Mathers reads Yekahel and Agiel from the letters of the five-pointed figure. Mercury’s other invocation pentacle, the third, uses an eight-spoked wheel and a different company of names. Their common office therefore appears in two distinct geometries. [1]
