"The Lesser Key of Solomon, Goetia, the book of evil spirits: contains two…" is an anonymously authored grimoire compiled in the mid-17th century from older materials. This sorcery manual divides into five books, with the Ars Goetia cataloging seventy-two demons summoned through ritual magic. Drawing from Renaissance occult sources, the text details spirits, seals, and invocations for controlling supernatural entities. The work bridges medieval demonology and ceremonial magic, offering practitioners detailed instructions for summoning and commanding evil spirits through elaborate rituals and protective measures.
