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 is described as being "of great virtue and power in war, wherefore without doubt it will give thee victory. In the centre is the great name AGLA; right and left, the letters of the name IHVHl above and blow, El. Round it is the versicle from Psalm cx. 5:--'The Lord at thy right hand shall wound even Kings in the day of His Wrath.'" Talismans of Mars are best dedicated to use on Tuesday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Martial affinity, such as dragon's blood or fiery herbs such as cinnamon.
