Achterflaptekst:

The Key of Solomon is a family of closely related historic grimoires legendarily attributed to Solomon, the biblical Magician King. Most famously, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers's 1889 English edition presented forty-four Hebrew seals, commonly called the "planetary pentacles." However, it offered very little guidance for how to work with them. Sara L. Mastros, a leading teacher and practitioner of magic, translates and interprets each of these pentacles and presents practical methods for working with their magical powers, creating a clear, accessible user's guide.

In The Sorcery of Solomon, Mastros places the Key of Solomon in a historical and folkloric context, presenting a complete, fresh translation of the forty-four pentacles, all of which have been newly illustrated. She guides the reader through the process of working with Solomonic pentacles and more. Primarily intended for intermediate-level magicians who already have a basic knowledge of spellcraft. The Sorcery of Solomon is also appropriate for beginners who are willing to do a bit of extra "homework."

"An excellent body of practice for those wishing to explore the vast depths of the magic of the Solomonic pentacles." - David Rankine, author of The Grimoire Encyclopaedia.

"Definitely a game-changer in magical studies and Solomonic magic. Whether your goals are spiritual or practical, The Sorcery of Solomon will be an indispensable reference you'll continually revisit." - Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch and Mastering Magick.

"Sara Mastros has provided a deep dive into the forty-four pentacles as codified by Mathers. Drawing on a wide variety of sources and her own experiences, she includes many easy-to-follow exercises for exploring them." - Joseph Peterson, author of The Secrets of Solomon.
