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 6th Pentacle of Jupiter is described as serving to protect against all earthly dangers, by regarding it each day devoutedly and repeating the versicle which surroundeth it. Thus shalt thou never perish." The four Names in the Arms of the Cross are:- Seraph, Kerub, Ariel, and Tharsis; the four rulers of the Elements. The versicle is from Psalm xxii 16, 17: "They pierced my hands and my feet, I may tell all my bones." Talismans of Jupiter are best dedicated to use on Thursday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Juperian affinity, such as pine or cedar.
