Description
The Book of Goetia, Or the Lesser Key of Solomon the King [Clavicula Salomonis]. Introductory Essay by Aleister Crowley. This 17th-century grimoire is one of the most well-known books of demonology, and its origins are shrouded in mystery. While it claims to have been written by King Solomon, this is an unlikely scenario. Instead, the book appears to have been compiled from earlier texts, including those of Jewish kabbalists and Muslim mystics. The result is a detailed guide to summoning and controlling spirits, including the protective signs and rituals necessary to prevent them from gaining control. The Lesser Key of Solomon contains a wealth of information on the conjurations needed to invoke and oblige these spirits, as well as instructions on how to make the necessary instruments for the execution of these rituals. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the occult and demonology, offering a unique insight into the practices of the past.
