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 "commandeth the Spirits of Mercury, and serveth to open doors in whatever way they may be closed, and nothing it may encounter can resist it." The versicle is from Psalm xxiv. 7:– "Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up ye everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in." Talismans of Mercury are best dedicated to use on Wednesday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Mercurial affinity, such as lavender or bergamot.
