The Lesser Key of Solomon is a grimoire or a text of magical incantations and spells that are said to have been written by King Solomon, who was a legendary figure in Jewish, Islamic, and Christian traditions. The text is divided into five books, and the second book, known as the "Ars Goetia," is the one that is famous for its description of the 72 demons and their corresponding sigils.
According to the text, the 72 demons were summoned by King Solomon and bound to his will so that he could use their powers for various purposes. Each demonic spirit is associated with a specific sigil, a symbol, or a seal representing the demon's name and power.
The sigils are said to be powerful tools for summoning and commanding the demons. Still, they should only be used by experienced practitioners of magic, as they can be dangerous if misused. In fact, the text warns that the demons should not be summoned for idle curiosity or frivolous reasons, as they can be unpredictable and even harmful.
Some of the most well-known demons in the Ars Goetia include Bael, who is said to be able to make people invisible and give them wisdom; Paimon, who can provide people with knowledge of all arts and sciences; and Asmodeus, who is said to be able to teach people how to control and manipulate others.
The 72 Demon Sigils from the Ars Goetia section of the Lesser Key of Solomon grimoire.
Despite their fearsome reputations, many modern practitioners of magic view the demons of the Ars Goetia as more symbolic than literal entities. They may use the sigils to tap into their inner power and creativity rather than trying to control external forces.
In conclusion, the Lesser Key of Solomon and its 72 demon sigils are a fascinating and complex aspect of magical history. Whether you view them as literal beings or as powerful symbols, they continue to capture the imagination of people interested in the occult and supernatural. However, it is essential to remember that any practice involving the summoning of demons or other entities should be approached with caution and respect.
