Hi Scion, Thanks for the inspiration for this! I tried the pairs, but I could not get them to fit the Behenian stars- but each of these triangles has a planet or sometimes two, but I have concentrated the planets near the stars on the planet ecliptic- because they do not appear elsewhere. For instance a planet would not appear within 6 degrees of Alkaid, to man's eye. Unless Agrippa astral traveled. I am also working my way through geomancy and the star shapes- That is why I gave Ala corvi to the tower for instance.
I have decided that this Behenian list is from the middle East somewhere as it is only the window of the sky that could be planned on a Planisphere for that area somewhere. That tower I drew on the doodle- is only when Sirius rises in the East and Antares is up at the same time due West I am guessing about 10 days. I still have no idea why Agrippa honed in on these particular Stars- unless he had an antique list from somewhere that he was following and thought it magical. It kinda looks like this clay depiction if you think about it that I scanned. I wish it were Tarot- but I still do not think it is. Fascinating stuff- I have really enjoyed this and Thank you and Kwaw for all the information. I hope you will critisise my offerings. For example I want to know why you put the World where you did? Is it because of the flying Man Talisman?~Rosanne
