The Lesser Key of Solomon by Joseph H. Peterson [Free Knowledge Summary]
The Lesser Key of Solomon
also known as the Lemegeton, is perhaps the most influential grimoire in Western ceremonial magick. However, the edition curated by Joseph H. Peterson stands in a league of its own. Unlike the Crowley or Mathers editions, which are often clouded by personal biases and stylistic additions, Peterson’s work is a masterpiece of academic and occult restoration, drawing directly from original manuscripts like the Sloane collection in the British Museum.
The book is structured into five vital books:
Ars Goetia:
Detailed instructions for evoking the 72 Spirits (often viewed as Jinn or localized entities).
Ars Theurgia-Goetia:
Dealing with the spirits of the cardinal points and their subordinates.
Ars Paulina:
Exploring the spirits governing planetary hours and zodiacal signs.
Ars Almadel:
A system for communicating with celestial or "luminous" entities.
Ars Notoria:
An ancient system of prayers and orations designed to grant the practitioner rapid memory and intellectual mastery.
Why this specific edition? Peterson’s meticulousness corrects many linguistic errors in the Hebrew and Latin names. As we have discussed before, "The Fire of Truth" teaches us that an error in the name leads to a disaster in the result. This edition provides the most accurate "Map" available.
While the book offers the keys to these kingdoms, remember: possessing the map is not the same as mastering the terrain. Sovereignty over these entities requires the foundational protections and the mental discipline we have previously highlighted. This is a must-have for any serious researcher of the Hermetic arts.
