Four divine names fill a compact square, framed by Psalm 72’s image of submission. The notice says that displaying this pentacle makes spirits kneel. [1]

The first Saturn notice describes a visible act of submission: spirits kneel when the pentacle is shown. Displaying the figure establishes the authority under which the encounter proceeds. [1]
Concentric circles surround a four-by-four square of Hebrew letters. Mathers identifies four divine names: IHVH, ADNI, IIAI and AHIH. The surrounding verse is Psalm 72:9. [1]
The compact letter square makes the divine names the centre of the encounter. Psalm 72:9 supplies a corresponding image of enemies bowing and licking the dust. Lettering and verse work together: one names the authority, while the other describes the submission expected before it. [1]
