Lemegeton: The Complete Books I-V
by Victor Shaw
A 17th-Century Grimoire of Demonology and Occult Knowledge
Lemegeton, also known as The Lesser Key of Solomon the King or Clavicula Salomonis Regis, is one of the most renowned grimoires in Western occultism. This 17th-century text, attributed to an anonymous author, serves as a comprehensive guide to demonology, spirit summoning, and ceremonial magic.
Divided into five distinct books, Lemegeton contains:
Ars Goetia – The hierarchy of 72 demons, their sigils, and methods of summoning.
Ars Theurgia Goetia – The conjuration of aerial spirits and their roles.
Ars Paulina – Celestial magic and the influence of planetary hours.
Ars Almadel – Angelic magic using the mystical Almadel wax tablet.
Ars Notoria – Sacred prayers and orations to enhance wisdom and divine knowledge.
This edition features carefully restored and enhanced illustrations of the original sigils and seals, ensuring greater clarity and readability. The artwork has been meticulously traced and darkened to preserve the integrity of the symbols, as many pages of the ancient manuscript have faded over time.
For scholars of the occult, practitioners of ritual magic, and those fascinated by historical grimoires, Lemegeton: The Lesser Key of Solomon remains an essential text, offering deep insights into the esoteric traditions of the past.
Includes: A reproduction of the original manuscript housed in the British Museum, with enhanced visuals for easier study and reference.
