The seventh pentacle of the Sun appears in tandem with the first twilight. In {{legend}}, it appears on the storehouse door. In {{turn}}, it appears on the doors to the chapel. In {{end}}, it appears on the wall of the cousins' room in the [[guest house]]. The meaning of the pentacle is the escape from physical or mental bonds. The cross is inscribed in Hebrew with Chasan, Arel, Phorlakh, and Taliahad, the names of the angels of air, fire, earth, water respectively. Inscribed in between the arms of the cross are the names Ariel, Seraph, Tharshis, and Cherub. The Hebrew on the circle surrounding the cross is from the Old Testament, Psalm 66, verses 16 and 17. In ''Turn of the Golden Witch'', the pentacle is accompanied by the English text "Happy Halloween for Maria".
