Goetia: Lesser Key of Solomon by Liddell/Mathe
Since classical Greece, Goetia has meant “low” magic as distinct from the high magic of theurgy. It is “applied” rather than “pure” magic, addressing practical human concerns - from obtaining advancement and wealth to finding love and knowledge. The manuscripts from which this edition was prepared circulated in the spiritual underground of Baroque England. They were written in the English vernacular rather than the Latin of the scholars, further evidence of the popular character of this grimoire. It is a manual of Solomonic astrological sorcery that gives detailed instruction for the ritual precautions, requisites and incantations necessary to invoke the aid of its 72 spirits, which are described in detail. Paperback, 134 pages
