The Key of Solomon the King

One of the most celebrated grimoires in occult tradition, The Key of Solomon is a powerful manual of ceremonial magic, translated and introduced by S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers, a leading figure of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This ancient grimoire details a complete system of planetary invocations, spirit summoning, astrological timing, and ritual purification, accredited to the great magician and exorcist, King Solomon. With instructions on crafting magical tools, drawing protective circles, and invoking angelic and planetary intelligences, The Key of Solomon explores medieval magical traditions. S. Liddell Macgregor Mathers’ translation, first published in 1888, brings together centuries of preserved manuscripts with scholarly commentary and insight.
