This instruction is from the Book of Angels, Rings, Characters and Images of the Planets, attributed to Osbern Bokenham, J. G. Lidaka translation. It outlines a method of magic utilizing the well-known "magic squares" associated with the planets, where the square is constructed of some certain material and used after the manner of a talisman. Often as not, the device is constructed and used more offensively than defensively (as is typical with talismanic magic in general.) No specific consecration is mentioned. Of Moon it is written:

The figure of the Moon is square and has a side of 9. When you wish to perform magic with this figure, take parchment and write on it this figure on the day of the Moon (Monday) and its hour, in its ascent; and write with ink of musk and saffron both tempered with rose water and suffumigated with cucumber and watermelon seeds Then put it on a thin plate of silver made in the shape If a dog, and carry it with you. It is good for pursuing all noble affairs, and it diverts all evil. And whoever has this in his possession will fear neither a thief nor other evil. Indeed, when you wish to expel from town someone you hate, write this figure on parchment from a virgin sheep, and on the other side draw a crab, using the blood of a black cock beheaded on the day of the Moon, with the moon waning. When you have done all this, put that card in some new, small pitcher, fill the jug with water, and set it out to stand a for one night in the air. On the following day, take the jug and speak thus. 'May this N depart from this town or city and never return to it.' Then pour the water out to the 4 winds, and it should happen as you wish. And so a man is ever impotent, then write this figure on a thin plate of lead with the Moon waning on its day and its hour, and speak thus: 'I bind this N so that never' etc. And, on the other side, make an image of his woman and then suffumigate it and bury it in the grave of someone unknown.
