The "Key of Solomon" is a grimoire of ceremonial magic attributed to King Solomon. God, impressed with Solomon's selfless pursuit of wisdom and justice, sent an angel to instruct him on a Sacred Art. Written down for the benefit of his son Rehoboam, the manuscript was later unearthed by Babylonian philosophers. The grimoire describes a series of planetary pentacles and the intentions and functions they serve. This talisman depicts "the Countenance of Shaddai the Almighty, at Whose aspect all creatures obey, and the Angelic Spirits do reverence on bended knees." Archangel Metatron appears in the center, and on either side is the name 'El Shaddai'. Encircling is the Latin phrase: "Behold His face and form by Whom all things were made, and Whom all creatures obey." It is said to be effective for commanding respect and obedience. Talismans of the Sun are best dedicated to use on Sunday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Solar affinity, such as frankincense.
