Verse to be spokenDicet Domino: susceptor meus es tu et refugium meum: Deus meus, sperabo in eum. (Psalm 90, verse 2, Vulgate numbering)
It is invokedagainst adversity; it protects against arms and wild beasts.
It rulesnobility, magnanimity and high office.
The person born under this influence… loves truth; will keep their word and take pleasure in obliging those who need their services.
The contrary genius… rules hypocrisy, ingratitude and perjury.

What Lenain prescribes

To address a genius, Lenain asks that its name, its attributes and its verse be spoken during the twenty minutes of its reign. He adds silence about what is asked, a favourable moment and a talisman: see what the genii are for, and how they are invoked. We report the prescription as written in 1823; we promise no effect.
