Description

A users guide to working with the 44 magical pentacles, or magical symbols, found in The Key of Solomon,the renowned occult grimoire ("spellbook").

The fifteenth century occult text Clavicula Salomonis (Key of Solomon) is a classic grimoire most notably as translated by S. L. Mathers in 1889. The Clavicula Salomonis presents Solomon's famed 44 planetary pentacles but offers very little guidance for how to work with these spells. Sara Mastros, a leading teacher and practitioner of magic, translates and interprets each of the 44 pentacles, or seals, and presents a practical method for working with their magical powers.

In The Sorcery of Solomonauthor Sara Mastros:

• places the Key of Solomon in a historical and folkloric context
• presents a complete, fresh translation of all 44 pentacles
• guides the reader through the process of working with Solomon pentacles

Primarily intended for intermediate level magicians who already have basic knowledge of spellcraft but is also appropriate for relative beginners who are willing to do a bit of extra homework.
