Summary:
Hyrum Smith inherited this Dagger from Joseph Smith Senior. One side of the blade has the seal of Mars, the other has the sign of the Intelligence of Mars, the Zodiac sign for Scorpio, and the Hebrew letters for Adonai.
Why this matters:
- It demonstrates that the Smith family had a fascination with magic.
- The purpose of the inscriptions were evidently for magic purposes. "Adonai" inscribed on the knife was supposed to help you locate treasure.
- The inscription seems to be tied to magical writings by Henry Agrippa.
