The Lesser Key of Solomon

The Lesser Key of Solomon is a 17th-century grimoire, attributed to King Solomon, that serves as a manual for demonology and ceremonial magic. It consists of five parts, detailing the hierarchy of demons, how to summon and control them, and the rituals needed for these processes. The most famous section is the Ars Goetia, which lists 72 demons, their attributes, and how to invoke them. While it has historical value in occult studies, its content reflects the beliefs and fears of its time regarding the supernatural and the control of malevolent forces.
