A magical grimoire of sigils and rituals for summoning and
mastering spirits, The Key of Solomon the King is the most
infamous, of all magick books. It has influenced everything from
the revival of magick and the Western Mystery Traditions (tarot,
alchemy, astrology, etc.) to fictional works such as Lovecraft's
The Necronomicon. This new 2017 hardcover edition of S. L.
MacGregor Mathers' masterwork includes reproductions of all
original 13 plates from the 1885 edition.
The story of King Solomon has fascinated spiritual and religious
writers for millennia - this book advances a theory that Solomon
was infact a Magi who created many of the rituals, spells and
symbols important to occultists. Although the idea that Solomon
carried some sort of mystical powers is not new, this book purports
to be written in the ancient king of the Jews' own hand. The
magical symbols and diagrams which are situated alongside the
various rituals and incantations are intricate, containing
pentacles and other shapes. Towards the end of the book a large
table is appended, detailing a selection of mystical alphabets and
their English. For his investigation, Mathers delved deep into the
archives of the British Museum, unearthing an old French manuscript
of the text which he duly translated into English. He also
replicated the diagrams and symbols; these efforts resulted in this
modern English version of the old Solomon manuscripts, and an
increase in interest toward writings hitherto obscure.
Prepare thyself! This famous magical grimoire is a powerful tome,
purportedly written by King Solomon, the 10th-century monarch
rumored in legend to be a master magician himself. Deciphered from
ancient documents found in the depths of the British Museum, this
1888 work-translated by one of the most notorious Victorian
occultists-was the first appearance in the English language of the
hidden secrets and potent incantations of the Old Magic. Discover
the archaic mysteries of. . exorcising demons . laying curses .
rendering oneself invisible . making a magic carpet . claiming
treasure possessed by spirits . and much more! British magician and
eccentric SAMUEL LIDDELL MACGREGOR MATHERS (1854-1918) also wrote
The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage and The Kabbalah
Unveiled.
The Kabbalah is an esoteric Jewish doctrine adapted by author S.L.
MacGregor Mathers to form the Hermetic order of the Golden Dawn, an
occult organisation. This volume includes three of the critical
books from the Zohar, the fundamental work in Kabbalah, as well as
Mathers' introduction explaining the key elements of Jewish
mysticism. Mathers' translation from Hebrew originally appeared in
1926, and it continues to be a valuable resource for students
interested in Religious Studies, particularly Mysticism and the
Occult.

A magical grimoire of sigils and rituals for summoning and mastering spirits, "The Key of Solomon the King" is the most famous, or infamous, of all magick books. It has influenced everything from the revival of magick and the Western Mystery Traditions (tarot, alchemy, astrology, etc.) to fictional works such as Lovecraft's "The Necronomicon."
Purported to have been penned by King Solomon himself, the book provides instruction for incantations, rituals, and sigils used to call upon and control spirits and demons. Those practicing magick have used it extensively through the centuries, but its true origins and purpose have been lost in the mists of time.
No library of the contemporary occult student or practicing magician is complete without this tome. It remains a standard of esoteric lore by which others are measured. This edition includes a new foreword by noted esoteric scholar Joseph Peterson.
Revised and expanded edition of Mathers' original treatise. Three
methods of reading cards are included, along with instructions for
the game of tarot, which can be played by two or three people. This
is a classic text that will be appreciated by anyone interested in
the study of the tarot.
How to make a magic carpet, become invisible, and find love are
among the useful procedures detailed in this famous book of magic.
Reputedly written by King Solomon himself, this major text of
Western ritual magic contains chants, prayers, and
instructions--both general and specific--on trafficking with the
spirit world.
Editor and translator S. L. MacGregor Mathers was a leader of the
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an influential group of
magicians and mystics whose members included Arthur Machen, W. B.
Yeats, and Evelyn Underhill. MacGregor Mathers based this
extraordinary book on seven manuscripts from the British Museum's
collections. Its formulas for conjuring up spirits and performing
rituals offer a rich source of study for students of comparative
religion, psychology, and the history of ideas. For working
occultists, this classic provides a valuable and important guide to
the execution of magical ceremonies.
The secret writings of this mystical order reveal the keys to
astral projection, clairvoyance, and other magical practices.
The present-day revival of the practice of magic owes much to the
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the "fin de siecle" secret
society that rediscovered many occult traditions dating back to
antiquity. Prominent adepts of the Golden Dawn, whose members
included W. B. Yeats and Aleister Crowley, preserved these
traditions in manuscripts to be circulated among initiates of the
Order. These documents, known as the Flying Rolls, reveal secrets
of astral projection, clairvoyance, exorcism, alchemy, and other
magical practices and occult philosophy. Many of the Flying Rolls
escaped print and remained secret for some time, only slowly being
tracked down over the years. Here, Francis King presents all the
previously unpublished Flying Rolls.
- Renowned occultist Francis King includes previously unpublished
secret writings of the Golden Dawn in this important collection.
- These are essential texts for practitioners of magical
techniques, and of great interest to any student of Western
occultism.
