The Key of Solomon the King: Clavicula Salomonis
by Mathers, S. Liddell Mac Gregor (Transl.)
- Used
- Hardcover
The Key of Solomon is the most famous, or infamous, of all magical textbooks and influenced many of the other grimoires or "grammars" of magical practice. This edition of the Key by MacGregor Mathers, the influential nineteenth-century magician, out of print for many years, was reissued in 1972 with a new foreword by Richard Cavendish.
This reissue is of interest not only in making available the most celebrated of the European magical texts, but because it is edited by MacGregor Mathers. He was, at the turn of the century, head of the Order of the Golden Dawn, probably the most gifted and influential of all modern magical groups. Mather's high minded detestation of black magic is very evident in this volume, but he himself was removed from office in the Golden Dawn because of his tyrannical pretensions. The Key itself amply demonstrates that the usual theoretical distinction between black magic and white, evil magic and good, is not so simply drawn in practice.
