Aerial Spirits of Solomon
The Aerial Spirits of Solomon are jinn associated with the four elements who were commanded by the legendary King Solomon. Like human beings, the jinn can also be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent and hence have freewill like humans.
The jinn have communities much like human societies: they eat, marry, die, etc. They are invisible to humans, but they can see humans. Sometimes they accidentally or deliberately come into view or into contact with humans. They have the power to transform into other animals and humans, and they are known to prefer the form of a snake. Jinns also have the power to possess humans.
The aerial spirits are governed by 31 princes who are aligned to points on a compass. They can be summoned by directing one’s self to their compass position. The princes have dukes and myriad ministering spirits or demons under their command.
The princes cannot be summoned by magic unless the magician wears their special seals as a lamen, or pendant, upon the chest.
The conjurations of the aerial spirits are given in a grimoire, the Lemegeton, also known as The Lesser Key of Solomon.
