Planetary Sigil Contemplations

These simple contemplations are designed to help those wishing to explore the symbolism and magick of the Seven Classical Planets to come to a greater understanding of the sigils or glyphs associated with each in turn. They are suitable for complete beginners or those wishing to further expand their symbolic knowledge of the well known and powerful glyphs associated with each in turn. These contemplations were included in the book "Practical Planetary Magick" by Sorita d'Este & David Rankine as an appendix and those unfamiliar with the symbols for the seven classical planets are advised to first collect a set for use alongside these contemplations to avoid confusion.
