The full ledger
Metal, colour, incense, and number — planet by planet
The material correspondences below are what a Renaissance workshop actually reached for: which metal to cast a seal in, which day and hour to work it, which incense to burn while doing so. Treat the table as a starting reference, not a closed list — later magical revivals (the Golden Dawn especially) extended several of these correspondences well past what Agrippa himself wrote down.
| Planet | Metal | Day | Colour | Incense | Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saturn ♄ | Lead | Saturday | Black | Myrrh, asafoetida | 3 |
| Jupiter ♃ | Tin | Thursday | Blue, violet | Cedar, sandalwood | 4 |
| Mars ♂ | Iron | Tuesday | Red | Dragon's blood, tobacco | 5 |
| Sun ☉ | Gold | Sunday | Gold, yellow | Frankincense | 6 |
| Venus ♀ | Copper | Friday | Green | Rose, benzoin | 7 |
| Mercury ☿ | Quicksilver / mixed alloys | Wednesday | Mixed, orange | Mastic, storax | 8 |
| Moon ☽ | Silver | Monday | Silver, white | Jasmine, camphor | 9 |
On the numbers
These aren't arbitrary — they're the order of the kamea, the planetary magic squares Agrippa reproduces, each sized to its planet (a 3×3 square for Saturn, up to a 9×9 for the Moon). The squares are the geometric skeleton that the planetary seals in Agrippa's Three Books are drawn on top of.
