Shrouded in mystery, The Key of Solomon is a late medieval to early renaissance grimoire where one can find powerful incantations that summon angels and spirits, astrological information, and directions on how to create magical talisman. Ever wonder why magical practitioners cast a protective circle? The magic circle, although more elaborate of a procedure in this book, is still used by many practitioners today of Wicca, Thelema, and the Golden Dawn. For someone interested in magical practices and grimoire magic, this book will be fascinating. Lore states that the Key of Solomon was written by King Solomon himself. Historically it has been found that the author is unknown. Whoever the author is, they have become a huge impact on western esoteric traditions. I read this for the historical aspects and was fascinated to find so many connections to magical practices today. This is heavy reading and definitely for the academic who is interested in learning the mysteries and history of magic. --Colleen M.
