The Lesser Key of Solomon: Goetia

Translated by S.L. MacGregor Mathers and published, with additions of his own, by Aleister Crowley in 1904 after the two had fallen out; reissued without authorization by L.W. de Laurence in 1916, the printing this text follows. Book I of the traditional five-book Lemegeton compilation, itself of unknown 17th-century authorship. Not scripture in any tradition -- a catalog of 72 spirits Solomon is legendarily said to have bound, each with the Legions it commands, the form it appears in, and its seal. The seal of each spirit and the drawings of the magic circle and triangle in the printed edition are not reproduced here.
