Lemegeton or Lesser Key of Solomon


This work dating from the seventeenth century is in four parts and is supposed to be a list of the names, orders and offices of all the spirits King Solomon had contact with.

The first part, Goetia contains the details for conjuring seventy-two types of demons with a description of their powers and hierarchy. These demons strongly resemble those found in the 1563 De Praestigiis Daemonum by John Wier/ Wierius, though this work does not contain any of the demonic seals.

Theurgia Goetia concerns the spirits of the cardinal points.

Pauline Art which is the third part deals with the zodiac and Angels of the day, night and each hour.

Almadel is concerned with four other choirs of spirits.

Re: Lemegeton or Lesser Key of Solomon

These and other of the old grimoires are still useful in modern times, in some ways. However, the trick is often to sort the useful knowledge from the rubbish in them. Some are supposed to have been leaked from the Vatican in the middle ages, and are rife with stultifying and unnecessary Catholic religiosity.  Some rites in them frankly do not work, but the incantations can be used if one can construct suitable rites onesself, and with more realistic results than the Grimoires' often outlandish and occasionally silly claims.

Always keep in mind that even with big ceremonial rituals that invoke powerful forces, we are limited to our own psychic abilities, concerning what actually happens, because the operator is a microcosm of the universe. It depends on the magician himself, and his own talents, how much power is raised and whether any phenomena occur. Much like being a musician, some people have lots of natural talent and others must learn and work harder for the same ability.

Newer, more updated versions of some can be found in modern books on the subject, such as the book "Pacts with the Devil" by Jason Black and Chris Hyatt.
