They made another image of Venus, to obtain the love of women, in the lapis lazuli, at the hour of Venus, Venus afcending in Taurus; the figure of which was a naked maid, with her hair fpread abroad, having a looking-glafs in her hand, and a chain tied about her neck---and near her a handfome young man, holding her with his left hand by the chain, but with his right hand doing up her hair, and both looking lovingly on one another---and about them is a little winged boy, holding a fword or dart. They made another image of Venus, the firft face of Taurus, Libra, or Pifces, afcending with Venus; the figure of which was a little maid, with her hair spread abroad, clothed in long and white garments, holding a laurel apple, or flowers, in her right hand, in her left a comb: it is faid to make men pleafant, jocund, ftrong, cheerful, and to give beauty.","title":"The Magus/Book 1/Part 2/Chapter 40","tradition":"ritual-magic","translated_text":null,"word_count":218}
