The Aerial Spirits of Solomon

The Ars Theurgia Goetia (or Art of Goetic Theurgy) is the second part of The Lesser Key of Solomon. This text comprises of the names, seals and characteristics of the 31 Aerial Spirits that King Solomon would have invoked and confined. It also contains names of their servants called dukes, the rituals to invoke them and the different protections against them.

The Aerial Spirits of Solomon are associated with the four elements; earth, water, fire and air. They are also aligned to different positions on the compass. These spirits can discover anything that is hidden, even the secrets of kings. They can also fetch and carry anything that is contained on earth, water, fire and air. To summon the Princes, the magician is expected to wear their special seals as a lamen or pendant.
