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. The 4th Pentacle of Venus is described as lending positive influence in the pursuit of love, attracting those of interest to you. "At the four angles of the figure are the four letters of the Name IHVH. The other letters form the Names of Spirits of Venus, e.g.: Schii, Eli, Ayib, etc." The versicle is from Genesis ii. 23, 24: "This is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. And they two were one flesh." Talismans of Venus are best dedicated to use on Friday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Venusian affinity, such as rose or other sweetly smelling flowers.
