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.
Medieval manuscript of ceremonial magic. Basic document in Aleister Crowley, Golden Dawn groups.
This book, translated and edited by the occultist Samuel Liddell
Mathers (1854-1918) and published in 1889, introduced to Victorian
England an important work of Renaissance esoterica. Purportedly the
deathbed testament of King Solomon to his son, distilling all the
angelic wisdom he received in his lifetime, it provided its readers
with detailed instructions in conjuring, divining and summoning
God's power to work 'experiments', or spells. For Mathers, it
represented 'the fountain-head and storehouse of Qabalistical
Magic' and formed a central part of his efforts to lend scholarly
respectability to occult research. Mathers edited the text using
available manuscripts at the British Museum, and it continues to
offer authoritative and fascinating insight into both Renaissance
occultism and its Victorian revival. Features of this edition
include introductions from three distinct manuscripts, a table of
the planetary hours and their magical names, and spells for
producing invisibility, creating magic carpets and identifying
thieves.

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.
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.
- New edition of "Astral Projection, Ritual Magic, and Alchemy"
This rare and unique manuscript, from which the present work is
translated, is a French translation from the original Hebrew of
Abraham the Jew. I know of no other existing copy or replica of
this in the British Museum whose enormous collection of manuscripts
I have thoroughly studied. A fascinating book concerning Nicholas
Flamel and his success with the Philosopher's Stone.
