First Pentacle Of The Moon

[Sinera]

Can s.o. versed in these matters tell me sth (maybe from personal experience?) about the "Pentacles Of The Moon", especially the First Pentacle and the Angels connected to it. And who are the "Spirits of the Moon" and are they different from the Angels?

Has to do maybe (!) with a personal experience. I might tell more but I just want to wait if s.o. could tell me sth about it.

Here's some info I found, so it's got to do with Hermetics (CFT? ) and the "Key Of Solomon". Just skimmed it so far. I'm not into Magick at all and just started to read a little on Hermetics. But for lack of time I did not get very far.

The First Pentacle Of The Moon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentacl..._of_employment

Figure 49. The First Pentacle of the Moon. – This and the following serve to
call forth and invoke the Spirits of the Moon; and it further serveth to open doors, in
whatever way they may be fastened.
Editor’s Note.– The Pentacle is a species of hieroglyphic representation of a door
or gate. In the center is written the Name IHVH. On the right hand are the Names
IHV, IHVH, AL, and IHH. On the left hand are the Names of the Angels: Schioel,
Vaol, Yashiel, and Vehiel. The versicle above the Names on either side, is from Psalm
cvii. 16:– "He hath broken the Gates of brass, and smitten the bars of iron in sunder."

Is this Kabbalah?

[Frater.Akenu]

It is a pantacle from Clavicula Salomonis, which is supposed to be written by king Solomon. Kabbalah itself is a jewish mysticism which isn't really based on Clavicula Salomonis, but Clavicula Salomonis is heavily based on usage of Kabbalah.

I know some stuff on the symbology of the moon (female, magnetic, etc.) but I don't know anything about what the moon spirits signify. I do have a book that goes into it (kind of) but it's complex and I read it a long time ago, so I'm not going to be much help. The angels are searchable, and prob. have some presence in Goetia- but I'm guessing, I know very little about it (plan to learn though).
My understanding of the Pentacle of Solomon is that most of the sacred geometry used in mysticism is derived from it. I don't even know if this is true, it's amongst the things I remember reading about it. Akenu is definitely your best authority in this here theme.
