The Lesser Key of Solomon Paperback – September 15, 2016

I’ve gotten interested in demonology recently, and heard that The Lesser Key of Solomon is a good starting point for learning about this stuff. And after reading It, I agree that it’s a decent book to start learning about demonology, IMHO.The book jacket is adequate but not great: it’s a little oversized, all the graphics on the cover are still legible/visible but they’re slightly blurry on the edges; the book jacket is functional and looks nice, but it’s nothing like a high quality leather bound book.Last but most important, the contents of the book: I loved it! I read it cover-to-cover on the same day I received it! In the first part of this book, it contains some of Aleister Crowley’s and S. L. Mathers’ thoughts on demonology & The Lesser Key, which was fairly interesting to read. Then obviously there’s the Ars Goetia, which was riveting! The Goetic sigils are some of the most beautiful symbols I’ve seen; and reading about the different demons was just fascinating! Overall, it was a very satisfying book to read.The Lesser Key of Solomon doesn’t contain everything about demonology, but I think it’s a good starting point. And this particular hardcover version makes it a decent introductory book: it’s a budget hardcover, but it’s durable and pretty for its price.10/10 would recommend!

I would most definitely buy again

The book itself is very easy to pick up and read about a few spirits, look at very nice looking artwork associated with them. Goes over how to summon said spirits although not in extreme detail as the greater keys do. This work is good for both those interested in the subject matter and also for those interested in general writing yourself, both in the terms of if you need nice sounding names for a fiction that also has external meaning but also seeing the wonderfull emblems riddled throughout the book. While it is 260 pages a lot of them are 50% illustrations so don't be to discouraged by the length (a much easier read than the greater key of solomon!). The edition itself is 5 stars but the subject matter of the book goes down 1 simply because it wasn't what i was expecting and skims over some potentially interesting details.

Great Book For My collection! Very enjoyable read and lots of great information to learn about!

.I had a hard time getting through the book but it does share some important information. I love that it comes with illustrations.

Nice dust cover!

This is a very interesting read, if you are in to this kind of stuff. I love the way it grabs hold of you, and doesn't let go until the story is over.

Awesome book. Came a bit scratched up but other than that it's perfect.
