The Lesser Key of Solomon: Goetia

About this book

Seventy-two spirits appear in one of the most notorious books of ceremonial magic, each with a name, a seal and powers attributed to it. Their ranks form an uncanny court of kings, dukes and presidents.

This de Laurence edition presents material from the Goetia, associated with the Lesser Key of Solomon and its complicated manuscript history. The imagery and ritual language preserve a distinctive part of European grimoire culture. Claims of ancient authorship and practical efficacy require careful historical treatment, but the seals themselves are unforgettable artifacts of magical imagination.
