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.

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.
