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 talisman is described as having "so great virtue that being armed therewith, if thou art attacked by anyone, thou shalt neither be injured nor wounded when thou fightest with him, and his own weapons shall turn against him." The versicle is from Psalm xxxvii. 15:— 'Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bow shall be broken." 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.
