Salutations, all! I’ve been looking into working with Pentacles as a means of supercharging jars and spells, but I’ve come across a lot of info about wearing pentacles/Solomonic seals as metal talismans, and I’m curious. I wear the same necklace and charm bracelet every day- if I wore charms of the pentacles or seals, would they work? Would I need to activate or charge them?
In Addition, I’m looking to utilize the 1st, 4th, and 5th pentacles of Venus for attraction- does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you for any and all help!

The process of making them is often the activation, and some specifically say you need to wear them to you obtain their benefits. Wearing them is fine.
The pentacles are powerful, you don’t really need to use so many. Pick one for your specific needs and let it manifest.

Thank you so much for your swift reply! If I may ask a follow up question- I definitely don’t know how to inscribe into metal. Could use another material to make a talisman and wear it?

You can find almost all the pentacles as necklaces or pendants available online at various shops, but they tend to be somewhat expensive.
Otherwise, yes, one of the most common methods is to just draw them on appropriately colored paper or in appropriately colored ink and just leave them at the altar.
Here are a couple easy videos:

You can use paper for the Pentacles of Solomon. In his book The Magical Talismans of King Solomon, Baal Kadmon recommends you use metal, but also says paper works fine.

There is a spell in Jason Miller’s The Sorcerer’s Secrets that gives a ritual about how to create a Venusian talisman.

Thank you to everyone for the help and resources! I have two final questions before I gather myself for my attempt:
- Is there a reason I can’t simply draw it on myself?
- I’m having a hard time actually reading the names in the pentacles. I know roughly what they are and mean, as I’m using http://www.labirintoermetico.com/06numerologia_cabala/Greater_Key_of_Solomon-2.pdf
And a few other sites as a guide, but it is very hard for me to transcribe just based on the figures shown. Does anyone know where I can get the exact wording within each pentacle?
They are described, and translated in the book I mentioned in my post above.
Charging and consecration would be more difficult, as it usually requires passing the pentacle through incense, and wrapping the pentacles before use so they don’t lose their charge, etc.

I’m sorry- I worded that badly. I looked at your resource (I found it in pdf form) and it actually helped me understand how the square is supposed to work. What I am having difficulty with is taking the names given and writing them in Hebrew. Are the symbols provided direct translations, or should I look each of them up?
Yes, they are direct translations.

Hello! Do you happen to know what chapter this information is located in?
Go to the Dollar Tree pick up some playing cards and write coins on the diamond suite. You can write what you want to manifest on the correct numbers

I e never hear of this method! May I know ever “COINS” means? Does this work for any pentacle?
It looks like Crown means using playing cards to replace the Pentacles/Coins suit in Tarot, not the Solomonic Planetary Pentacles.

Oooh- creative, but not quite what I’m looking for
It’s the same thing. Diamonds are the coins/pentacles. It’s all the same energy.
So you’re saying I could use these for planetary seals, as well? Do different seals correspond to different suits?
Planetary pentacles aren’t the same thing. They’re seals used in Solomonic planetary magic.
I already posted some resources about them above.
Here is Sacred-Texts online version of the Key of Solomon in which they appear. “Plates” category shows the actual pentacles, but the rest is the formal preparation of them. Usually you don’t need it, but it does help make manifestation much more powerful.

Just wanted to post an update: I have worked with the First Venus pentacle for a week now (I just charged it for the second time last night). I hand draw it on purple paper with purple pencil, charged it with two tea candles (one red apple cinnamon, one vanilla) anointed with rose and sandalwood oils atop it alongside Provençal salt (kosher salt infused with lavender and other herbs) and my hair. I have written a petition of what I want on the back, and deploy the charm by wearing it in my camisole. Last night, I added a blend of peppers atop it alongside my usual anointed candles. So far, I have seen no change. Honestly, I feel in lower vibration than before because it almost seems as if people are avoiding me moreso now, despite me dressing up more and taking extra care of myself. I’ve felt more reserved, less confident in my interactions, and the guys I have been talking to that I’m most interested in seem to be feeling the same towards me- the exact opposite effect I wanted. Am I doing something wrong, or should I just keep working it before moving on to another seal?
