Activation of Saturn pentacles

[ElectricEgregore]

I want to activate the second and third planetary pentacle of Saturn on Saturday.

The second one is activated with Psalm 72.8. It's pretty clear to me on how to go about that one.

The third one has no specific instruction, it has the names of the Angels Omeliel, Anachiel, Arauchiah and Anazachia on it.

Would you call the Archangel Tzaphkiel that is associated with Saturn and just write a calling with the names of the aforementioned to activate it?
I read that it was sometimes custom to invoke Angels for the activation of pentacles, not sure if that makes sense here.

Would you stay very strict (matching Saturn in a way) to the traditional activation that are available in the greater key of Solomon,
or would you take the freedom to, for example, work with an Archangel ritual that works with multiple Archangels matching a goal want to achieve, where the specific pentacles are one step on the way? I could very well just do that following the activation, I'm kind of used to enforce some things with Angels further.

I'm aware of the timing etc, just had this question about specifics.

Thank you very much!

If someone is new to a particular tech then my general advice is to stay true to the source material initially.

*In the case of the 3rd, activate it by calling to the entities on the pentacle.

That being said, I have had very good results by incorporating pentacles into the middle of another ritual. Ex: opening with DSIC to call on a Saturn entity you have worked with before to ask for assistance and to strengthen the working before preceding into the consecration and activation of one of the pentacles of Saturn.

**Positive feedback loops in magic can be used to great effect.

Thank you, I might postpone it for a week and work on the details a little further.
Do you use all the traditional paraphernalia in the DSIC, like Lamen, wand and so on?
