The Circle of Magical Operation: Divine Names and Directions
Concentric bands of divine names enclose a square whose sides are marked with Latin names for the compass directions. Oriens, Meridiens, Occidens and Septemtrio orient the inner field. The plate identifies the circle of magical operation in the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. The design gives names, direction and an empty central space different geometric roles.
