The Sorcery of Solomon: A Guide to the 44 Planetary Pentacles of the Magician King - Sara L. Mastros

A user's guide to working with the forty-four magical pentacles, or magical symbols, found in The Key of Solomon , the renowned occult grimoire (spellbook). The Clavicula Salomonis ( The Key of Solomon ) is a family of closely related historic grimoires legendarily attributed to Solomon, the biblical Magician King. S. L. Mathers's famed 1889 English edition presented forty-four Hebrew seals, commonly called the planetary pentacles. However, it offered very little guidance for how to work with them. Sara Mastros, a leading teacher and practitioner of magic, translates and interprets each of these pentacles and presents practical methods for working with their magical powers. In The Sorcery of Solomon , author Sara Mastros: places The Key of Solomon in a historical and folkloric context, presents a complete, fresh translation of all forty-four pentacles, and guides the reader through the process of working with Solomon pentacles. Primarily intended for intermediate-level magicians who already have basic knowledge of spellcraft, The Sorcery of Solomon is also appropriate for beginners who are willing to do a bit of extra homework.
