Time Snail is a visual representation of The Lords of the Hours a means of determining the planetary influence of a particular hour and day. This idea was used in early medicine in the composition of medicines. Makers of talismans used it as well to determine the rhythms of their compositions and to increase their efficacy. Quotes on time from Aristotle, Marsilio Ficino, and other Hermetic, Neo-Platonic writings are scattered throughout and are to be considered and meditated upon. In general this graphic device is a useful tool for herbalists and other artists who wish to work with a larger composition.
