"The Lesser Key of Solomon, Goetia: The Book of Evil Spirits" is an esoteric work that delves into ceremonial magic, likely written during the early 20th century. This grimoire contains intricate instructions, diagrams, and seals intended for the invocation and control of various spirits categorized as "evil." The text explores King Solomon's practices in binding these spirits, demonstrating his purported powers through detailed rituals and invocations aimed at achieving personal gain or insight. The opening portion of the book presents a preface that introduces the significance of these magical texts, particularly the Goetia, which is described as part of the broader Lemegeton. The author discusses the nature of magical practice, asserting that the spirits of the Goetia are reflections of the human psyche rather than autonomous entities. Following this theoretical framework, the text delineates the specific characteristics, appearances, and abilities of various spirits, alongside their corresponding seals, emphasizing practical applications in rituals and personal development. The initial pages thereby establish both the historical roots and contemporary relevance of these ancient magical traditions, setting the stage for the detailed instructions and invocations to follow.
