Lesser Key of Solomon
The Lesser Key of Solomon is a 17th-century grimoire, or book of magic, attributed to King Solomon. It is divided into five sections, with the most famous being the Ars Goetia, which lists 72 demons that can be summoned for various purposes. Each demon is described with its powers, appearance, and the rituals needed for summoning.
The text is part of a larger tradition of Western occultism and draws on earlier works, including the Key of Solomon. It reflects the belief in the ability to control supernatural forces through specific rituals and incantations, a practice that has fascinated scholars and practitioners alike.
