The Clavis or Key to the Magic of Solomon

A full-colour facsimile and edition of a talismanic Solomonic manuscript associated with the eighteenth-century astrologer Ebenezer Sibly and later copied by the Victorian occultist Frederick Hockley. It contains planetary talismans, conjurations of spirits, and instructions for consecrating instruments, along with the vivid hand-painted seals that make the manuscript famous. Peterson's introduction traces its sources in the Key of Solomon and the English magical underground of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
