Every secret in this book is tied to the movement of the planets and their hidden mysteries.
I learned that Saturn governs beings of cold and dryness, that piercing cold that freezes souls and makes them tremble in its shadows.
Jupiter moves those of cold and moisture, slow and heavy forces capable of suspending worlds between life and death.
Mars, with its fiery red blaze, dominates beings of heat and dryness, erupting like volcanic lava, driving everything into states of rage, violence, and destruction.
Venus, the quiet star, moves those of weak heat and prevailing moisture, subtle forces capable of seducing souls and drowning them in illusion.
Mercury, swift and fleeting, moves beings of weak heat and abundant moisture, like a passing wind carrying secrets understood only by the chosen.
The Moon dances to the rhythm of cold and moisture, bearing the magic of darkness and the night—when lost souls manifest.
The fixed stars also play their roles. Degrees where a hot planet aligns with a weak emission of moisture and humidity give rise to strange energies of growth and transformation.
The Sun, solitary in its place but mighty, adds to this magic a power beyond description.
These cosmic forces, complex as they are, hold the key to understanding how talismans connect with true magic, and how these energies influence both the physical and spiritual worlds.
Yet what makes it all intricate is that the ancient sages concealed their true meanings—showing only the surface and hiding the core behind cryptic words, shrouded in secrecy and mystique.

Each page of this book was like a poisonous nectar, enticing me further, but I knew that diving deeper might never let me return to my former world—and that the gate to darkness had closed behind me forever.
This was no ordinary book; it was a gateway into a realm where magic intertwined with the cosmos, where every planetary motion and every whisper in the shadows carried powers capable of altering existence itself.
