In his influential work The Philosophy of Natural Magic, Agrippa combined magic, astrology, Qabbalah, theurgy, medecine, and the occult properties of plants, rocks, and metals. This work was an important factor in the spread of the idea of occult sciences.

The Book of Evil Spirits

The Lesser Key of Solomon, Goetia

This is a special re-print edition of Dr. L.W. de Laurence book "The Lesser Key of Solomon, Goetia: The Book of Evil Spirits." L.W. de Laurence, was a pioneer in the business of supplying magical and occult goods by mail order and in particular was known for publishing Public Domain books on the occult and related topics. In 1916, he republished (some say "plagiarized"), S.L. MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley's book "The Lesser Key of Solomon," the title appearing as "The Lesser Key of Solomon, Goetia: The book of Evil Spirits." According to de Laurence, "The Lesser Key of Solomon, Goetia" contains "two hundred diagrams and seals for the invocation and convocation of spirits. Witchcaft, necromancy and black art" which de Laurence states was translated from ancient manuscripts in the British Museum at London. The text contains a Preliminary Invocation, followed by sections entitled "Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon. The Initiated Interpretation of Ceremonial Magic," "Preliminary Definition of Magic," "Shemhamphorash" (which details "72 evil spirits"), "The Magical Circle," "The Magical Seal of Solomon," "The Hexagram of Solomon," "The Pentagram of Solomon," "The Secret Seal of Solomon," "The Other Magical Requisites," "The Conjuration To Call Forth Any of the Aforementioned Spirits," "The Second Conjuration," "The Constraint," "The General Curse Called 'The Spirit Chain'" and others. Presumably, if you follow the directions in the text, you can order any of the "72 Evil Spirits" to do your bidding. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.

The Book of Evil Spirits, Or the Lesser Key of Solomon: Necromancy, Witchcraft and the Black Arts

Goetia

This translation of the FIRST BOOK of the "Lernegton" which is now for the first time made accessible to students of TALISMANIC MAGIC was done, after careful collation and edition, from numerous Ancient Manuscripts in Hebrew, Latin, and French, by G. H. Fra., by the order of the Secret Chief of the Rosicrucian Order. The G. H. Fra., having succumbed unhappily to the assaults of the Four Great Princes (acting notably under Martial influences), it seemed expedient that the work should be brought to its conclu-sion by another hand. The investigation of a compe-tent Skryer into the house of our unhappy Fra., con-firmed this divination; neither our Fra. nor his Hermetic MuL were there seen; but only the terrible shapes of the evil Adepts S.V.A.I and H., whose original bodies having been sequestered by Justice, were no longer of use to them. On this we stayed no longer Our Hand; but withdrawing Ourselves, and consulting the Rota, and the Books M. and Q. did decide to ask Mr. Aleister Crowley, a poet, and skilled student of Magical Lore, and an expert Kabbalist, to complete openly that which had been begun in secret. This is that which is written: "His Bishoprick let another take." And again: "Oculi Tetragammaton." This is also that which is said: "Nomen Secundum refertur ad Gebhurah; qui est Rex Bittul atque Corruptio Achuraim Patris et Matris hoc indigitatur." And so saying we wish you well.Ex Deo Nascimur. In Jesu Morimwr. Per 8.8. Reviviscimus.Given forth from our Mountain of A, this day of C.C. 1903 A.D."

It was compiled in the mid-17th century, mostly from materials a couple of centuries older. It is divided into five books--the Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia-Goetia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel, and Ars Notoria. This edition was edited by L. W. De Laurence and first published in 1916.
