The Goetia : The Lesser Key of Solomon the King

"The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon", also known as the "Clavicula Salomonis Regis", or "Lemegeton", is a centuries old spell book or grimoire. The exact source of the work is anonymous and compilations of older texts began appearing in the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1904, famed English occultists Aleister Crowley and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers translated these older texts and published them in English. This grimoire is concerned primarily with summoning demons and contains the names, symbols, and spells for 72 distinct demon spirits. Crowley and Mathers painstakingly and meticulously researched the seals, charts, and sigils for the demons, making their edition of this ancient text one of the most complete and detailed. Descriptions of the spells and rites necessary for the invocation of these demon spirits is included along with definitions and explanations for many of the unfamiliar terms found throughout the text. This edition of "The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon" remains an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in ancient and Western occult practices. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
