IHVH marks the angles of a divided diamond, enclosed by Genesis’s language of shared flesh. The notice joins obedience from Venusian spirits with a desired person’s approach. [1]

The fourth Venus pentacle compels the planet’s spirits to obey and brings a desired person toward the bearer. Its notice connects that person’s approach with authority over the invoked spirits. [1]
Names occupy the divisions of a diamond within a scriptural band. Mathers reads IHVH at four angles and gives Schii, Eli and Ayib; the rim is Genesis 2:23–24. [1]
IHVH occupies the four angles of the diamond, with Schii, Eli and Ayib elsewhere in the figure. Genesis 2:23–24 supplies the surrounding account of flesh, kinship and becoming one flesh. This makes the fourth design’s scriptural setting bodily union, distinct from the seal of love in the second and the multiplication in the third. [1]
