Also known as the
Lesser Key of Solomon, the
Lemegeton is composed of five texts that may have been separate but were collected into this book. The first and best-known section is the “
Goetia,” which introduces the use of the magickal Triangle of the Art for
evoking spirits.
The second part is the “Theurgia-Goetia,”which has many other spirits for summoning. The Third part is the “Pauline Art” which was supposedly discovered by the Apostle Paul and delivered in Corinth. It deals with spirits allotted to every degree of the
zodiac, as well as the signs, the planets of the signs, and of the hours. It includes the way to find the Angel of your
Ascendant, which is called “The Conjuration of the Holy Guardian Angel” and uses a crystal ball.
The fourth part is the “Almadel” which refers to a square tablet of wax with holy names and characters on it for the summoning of Angels. The fifth part is the “Ars Nova” (New Art) in one version and “Ars Notaria” (Notary Arts) in most others. Both versions consist of prayers and orations.
