The Lesser Key of Solomon

The Lesser Key of Solomon is a book written by L. W. de Laurence, which is a compilation of texts and illustrations related to the practice of demonology and the summoning of spirits. The book is divided into five parts, each of which contains a different set of magical spells and invocations. The first part, called Ars Goetia, describes the 72 demons that King Solomon is said to have bound to his will. The second part, Ars Theurgia Goetia, provides instructions for summoning spirits of a higher order. The third part, Ars Paulina, contains prayers and invocations for the 24 angels of the hours of the day and night. The fourth part, Ars Almadel, is a method for summoning angels to obtain knowledge and wisdom. Finally, the fifth part, Ars Notoria, is a collection of prayers and invocations for the acquisition of knowledge and understanding. The book is considered to be a key text in the study of demonology and the occult, and has been influential in the development of modern esoteric traditions.1916. Goetia the Book of Evil Spirits.
