The planets
influence magic a great deal. They have traditionally been the basis for
many correspondences, those of the days of the week in particular. (See
Time Correspondences) Each of the planets has been associated with
a group of ritual intents that they are considered to rule. The influence
of each planet is determined though these historic associations. When
choosing the correspondences to include in your ritual take into consideration
the nature of the planets and their areas of rulership.
The following
tables provide you with a number of correspondences for the planets, choose
the planet that most closely relates to your ritual intent and utilize
it to add it's influence to your magic. You will note that not all the
planets are used in some of these charts. This is due to the fact that
many of them are based upon traditional or historic associations devised
before all the planets were known. The planets used most frequently in
magic are the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
You will note that some of the associations come from tarot, ritual magic,
the Kabbala or other traditions. All are perfectly valid, choose according
to your ritual intent and what feels right to you.
