Image of the Moon According to Mercurius

The image of the Moon, according to the opinion of Mercurius, is the shape of a woman with a beautiful face, encircled by a dragon, with horns on her head, encircled by two snakes (on her head there are two snakes and on each arm a snake is entwined); above her head there is one dragon and another beneath her feet; each of these dragons has seven heads.

Picatrix Bk II, Ch 10, Para 35. (Attrell & Porecca, 2019)

At long last, I have completed a Picatrix Image of the Moon. In doing no, I now have one complete set of Picatrix planetary images. (And, because I’ve already doubled up on a few planets, I’m already about half way to a second complete set.)

I can’t textually justify my decision to escalate the Picatrix description of a woman with horns to a faun/satyr. That was just where the vibes took me. I will probably go back, eventually, and make a less naked and more human version. But that day is not today.
