The Key of Solomon is a famous grimoire, or book of magic, attributed to King Solomon, a biblical figure known for his wisdom. This text, believed to have been written in the 17th century, contains instructions for summoning and controlling spirits, as well as performing various magical rituals. It is part of a larger tradition of Western esotericism and has influenced many later magical texts. The book is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the preparation and consecration of magical tools, while the second provides detailed rituals for invoking specific spirits. The Key of Solomon is often associated with other works in the Solomonic tradition, which includes texts like the Lesser Key of Solomon and the Book of Abramelin.
