The Key of Solomon the King (Clavicula Salomonis)
tr. S. L. MacGregor Mathers · 1888 · English (from Hebrew/Latin MSS)
About this book
The Key of Solomon (Clavicula Salomonis) is the medieval grimoire of Solomonic operative magic - the planetary pentacles, the consecrated magic circles, the divine-name sigils, and the invocations by hour and planet. Mathers’ complete 1888 edition (Book I + Book II + the mystical alphabets appendix) is hosted here.
Relevance to this project
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s operative source: the planetary pentacles and the divine-name sigils are the practical reflex of the Sefer Yetzirah letter-astronomy in the Western grimoire tradition - the sigil forge’s practical lineage (mages: Mathers, Sec.6.3 / Sec.15b.3).
