About the Author
S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1854-1918) was a prominent scholar and leader of the occult movement in Britian at the turn of the century. A life-long fascination with mysticism and Celtic symbolism led Mathers to hold high office in the Rosicrucian Society of England, and eventually to become a founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He is also well known for having been a key tutor to Aleister Crowley.

A Primary Key To All Occult Arts,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Goetia the Lesser Key of Solomon the King: Lemegeton, Book 1 Clavicula Salomonis Regis (Paperback)
Whether approached in the truly appropriate manner a la Aptigrah and Demonolatry or with full ceremonial armor in the style of Savedow or somewhere in-between via Duquette, Runyon, Riva or others, the Goetic Spirits offer one of the few tried-and-true keys to real magick power and sorcery. If you treat these powerful entities with respect and have courage, the Gate will be opened to you. Don't miss the opportunity they offer!

Understanding Goetia...this is where you begin,

This review is from: The Goetia the Lesser Key of Solomon the King: Lemegeton, Book 1 Clavicula Salomonis Regis (Paperback)
I truly enjoyed this book very much and have much success as well. I truly do say that you must do the rituals in order to make this book work for you. Remember, that the "spirits" that you want will not come to you in a "person to person" encounter. What you must get to know is about the Astral plane cause this is the only way. However, there are certain things that are made in order to "see" them...however, i've never try them. So, get a great book about the astral plane and then get this book and you'll be sitting pretty. Highly recommended!

The Best Extant Edition,
This review is from: The Goetia the Lesser Key of Solomon the King: Lemegeton, Book 1 Clavicula Salomonis Regis (Paperback)
When Samuel Liddel MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley collaborate on a work of such magnitude as the Goetia, you know you're in for something big.Written by an unknown author in a relatively unknown time (but at some point during the Renaissance), Goetia is the first text of a series of five known as "Lemegeton", which some people have suggested was originally the name of a magician. The idea that this books was "translated" is inaccurate, as Mathers simply transcribed the existing English manuscript which can be found in the London museum. No editions in Hebrew or Latin are known to exist. The book contains 72 demons, which were supposedly summoned by Solomon the King (hence the title) into visible appearance, following out the instructions in the text. Aleister Crowley does a masterful job editing the text, and his essay in the beginning of the text describing his theory on the operations of Ceremonial Magick is unusually clear and easy to read. Mathers' transcription of the manuscript makes the whole ensemble just as simple to understand. There is also an insightful introduction written by Hymenaeus Beta, the current Frater Superior of the O.T.O. His description of the climate of the Golden Dawn, and the competitive nature of the two men Mathers and Crowley, makes for an interesting backdrop to the text itself. The sigils are just wonderously drawn, and the reprint of the ritual in the back of the book (which includes the Enochian reading in both the Golden Dawn phonetic pronunciation and the Enochian language itself) is a nice addition. To those who seek Solomonic grimoires, you don't have a better option than this text.
