Description

The Goetia is the most famous grimoire after the Key of Solomon. The owner of this handbook of sorcery was Dr. Thomas Rudd, the most important scholar-magician of the early seventeenth century, and a magical successor to Dr. John Dee. The Goetia of Dr. Rudd explains how the 72 angels of the Shemhamphorash are used to evoke and safely bind demons--material that has not been made available in any previous edition. This rare volume contains a transcription of a hitherto unpublished manuscript show more of the Lemegeton and includes illustrations drawn from rare manuscripts held in the British Library. show less

Sensei-CRS "Lemegeton" or otherwise know as "The Lesser Key of Solomon". Joseph Peterson's Lemegeton is clearly the definitive version. The Peterson edition is a scholerly comparative work, while the Skinner/Rankine work is a snapshot of Solomonic Magick being put to practical work. These two volumes not only complement each other, but they are both equally vital to building an accurate picture of the scope and impact of this cycle of magick.
