The Lesser Keys of Solomon, also known as the Lemegeton, is a grimoire attributed to King Solomon. It contains a collection of spells and rituals for invoking and controlling spirits, including demons and angels. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of magical practice.
One of the most significant aspects of the Lesser Keys is the Goetia, which includes the evocation and binding of 72 demons, each with its own powers and abilities. The book provides detailed instructions on how to perform the rituals, including the use of special symbols, talismans, and incenses.
In addition to the Goetia, the Lesser Keys also includes the Theurgia Goetia, which focuses on the invocation of angels and other divine beings, and the Pauline Art, which explores the use of magic squares and talismans for various purposes.
While the Lesser Keys of Solomon has been influential in Western occultism, its contents have also been subject to controversy and criticism. Some have argued that the book promotes dangerous and potentially harmful practices, while others view it as a historical curiosity with little practical value.
Regardless of one’s perspective, the Lesser Keys of Solomon remains a significant and fascinating text in the history of magical practice, offering insights into the beliefs and practices of earlier eras and cultures.
