Publisher's Synopsis
The Lesser Key of Solomon is a book written by L.W. de Laurence, first published in 1914. It is a grimoire, or a book of magical spells and incantations, that claims to contain the secrets of King Solomon, a biblical figure known for his wisdom and magical abilities. The book is divided into five parts, each containing a set of magical sigils, or symbols, and instructions for performing various rituals and spells. The first part, called the Ars Goetia, describes the summoning and binding of 72 demons, each with its own unique powers and abilities. The second part, the Ars Theurgia Goetia, focuses on the summoning of spirits and angels for divination and other purposes. The third part, the Ars Paulina, provides a system of angelic magic based on the writings of the apostle Paul. The fourth part, the Ars Almadel, describes a system of angelic magic that involves the use of a special table or altar known as the Almadel. The final part, the Ars Notoria, is a collection of prayers and invocations that are said to grant the user knowledge and wisdom. The Lesser Key of Solomon has been influential in the development of modern occultism and has been studied and used by many practitioners of magic and the occult over the years. However, it is important to note that the book contains many dark and dangerous practices, and should be approached with caution and respect for the power of the magic it describes.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1916 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
