Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon: The Complete Grimoire of Ceremonial Magic & Demonology - Paperback

by S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers (Author), Aleister Crowley (Editor), A. E. Waite (Introduction by)

Bringing together two of the most influential grimoires in one volume, Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon is a cornerstone of occult tradition.

Forming a complete system of ceremonial magic, planetary invocation, and demonology, this volume is attributed to the great magician and exorcist, King Solomon. Offering a structured guide to divine magic, the Greater Key of Solomon explores consecrations, angelic invocations, planetary workings, and the preparation of ritual tools used to align the practitioner with celestial forces. The Lesser Key of Solomon, or Lemegeton, catalogues 72 spirits or demons said to have been bound by Solomon himself. Complete with their seals, attributes, and conjurations, this section outlines the precise rituals and protections needed to command these entities in pursuit of hidden knowledge.

Collected in a single volume, this edition presents S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers' translations, edited and introduced by Aleister Crowley. Bringing together centuries of preserved manuscripts with scholarly commentary and occult insight, Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon is a comprehensive and enduring manual of magical theory and practice.
