The Lesser Key of Solomon
The Lesser Key of Solomon or Clavicula Salomonis (the Clavis Salomonis, or Key of Solomon is an earlier book on the subject), is an anonymous 17th-century grimoire, and one of the most popular books of demonology. It has also long been widely known as the Lemegeton.
History
It appeared in the 17th century, but much was taken from texts of the 16th century, including the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, by Johann Weyer, and late-medieval grimoires. It is likely that books by Jewish kabbalists and Muslim mystics were also inspirations. Some of the material in the first section, concerning the summoning of demons, dates to the 14th century or earlier.
The book claims that it was originally written by King Solomon, although this is certainly incorrect. The titles of nobility (such as the French Marquis or Germanic Earl) assigned to the demons were not in use in his time, nor were the prayers to Jesus and the Christian Trinity included in the text (Solomon's birth predated Jesus Christ's birth by more than 900 years).
The Lesser Key of Solomon contains detailed descriptions of spirits and the conjurations needed to evoke and oblige them to do the will of the conjurer (referred to as the "exorcist"). It details the protective signs and rituals to be performed, the actions necessary to prevent the spirits from gaining control, the preparations prior to the invocations, and instructions on how to make the necessary instruments for the execution of these rituals.
The several original copies extant vary considerably in detail and in the spellings of the spirits' names. Contemporary editions are widely available in print and on the Internet.
The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon the King (Clavicula Salomonis Regis) is a 1904 translation of the text by Samuel Mathers. It is essentially a manual that purports to give instructions for summoning 72 different spirits.
Books
The Lesser Key of Solomon is divided into five parts.
Ars Goetia
The first section, called Ars Goetia, contains descriptions of the seventy-two demons that Solomon is said to have evoked and confined in a brass vessel sealed by magic symbols, and that he obliged to work for him. It gives instructions on constructing a similar brass vessel, and using the proper magic formulae to safely call up those demons.
It deals with the evocation of all classes of spirits, evil, indifferent and good; its opening Rites are those of Paimon, Orias, Astaroth and the whole cohort of Infernus. The second part, or Theurgia Goëtia, deals with the spirits of the cardinal points and their inferiors. These are mixed natures, some good and some evil.
The Ars Goetia assigns a rank and a title of nobility to each member of the infernal hierarchy, and gives the demons' "signs they have to pay allegiance to", or seals. The lists of entities in the Ars Goetia correspond (to high but varying degree, often according to edition) with those in Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, an appendix appearing in later editions of his De Praestigiis Daemonum, of 1563.
A revised English edition of the Ars Goetia was published in 1904 by magician Aleister Crowley, as The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King. It serves as a key component of his popular and highly influential system of magick.
The 72 Demons
The demons' names (given below) are taken from the Ars Goetia, which differs in terms of number and ranking from the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum of Weyer. As a result of multiple translations, there are multiple spellings for some of the names, which are given in the articles concerning them.
Ars Theurgia Goetia
The Ars Theurgia Goetia ("the art of goetic theurgy") is the second section of The Lesser Key of Solomon. It explains the names, characteristics and seals of the 31 aerial spirits (called chiefs, emperors, kings and princes) that King Solomon invoked and confined. It also explains the protections against them, the names of their servant spirits, the conjurations to invoke them, and their nature, that is both good and evil. The spirits in this section and the next, Ars Paulina, correspond to the names given in Steganographia of Trithemius.
Their sole objective is to discover and show hidden things, the secrets of any person, and obtain, carry and do anything asked to them meanwhile they are contained in any of the four elements (Earth, Fire, Air and Water). These spirits are given in a complex order in the book, and some of them have spelling variations according to the different editions.
Ars Paulina
The Ars Paulina (The Art of Paul) is the third part of The Lesser Key of Solomon. According to the legend, this art was discovered by the Apostle Paul, but in the book is mentioned as the Pauline Art of King Solomon. The Ars Paulina was already known since the Middle Ages. It is divided in two chapters in this book.
The first chapter refers on how to deal with the angels of the several hours of the day (meaning day and night), their seals, their nature, their servants (called Dukes), the relation of these angels with the seven planets known at that time, the proper astrological aspects to invoke them, their names (in a couple of cases coinciding with two of the seventy-two demons mentioned in the Ars Goetia), the conjuration and the invocation to call them, and the Table of Practice.
The second chapter concerns the angels that rule over the zodiacal signs and each degree of every sign, their relation with the four elements, Fire, Earth, Water and Air, their names, and their seals. These are called here the angels of men, because all persons are born under a zodiacal sign, with the Sun at a specific degree of it.
Ars Almadel
The Ars Almadel (The Art of the Almadel) is the fourth part of The Lesser Key of Solomon. It tells how to make the almadel, which is a wax tablet with protective symbols drawn on it. On it are placed four candles. This chapter has the instructions concerning the colours, materials and rituals necessary for the construction of the almadel and the candles.
The Ars Almadel also tells about the angels that are to be invoked, and explains that only reasonable and just things that are needed must be asked to them, and how the conjuration has to be made. It also mentions twelve princes ruling with them. The dates and astrological aspects that have to be considered most convenient to invoke the angels are detailed but briefly.
The author asserts to have experimented with what is explained in this chapter.
Ars Notoria
The Ars Notoria (The Notable Art) is the fifth and last part of The Lesser Key of Solomon. It was a grimoire known since the Middle Ages. The book asserts that this art was revealed by the Creator to King Solomon by means of an angel.
It contains a collection of prayers (some of them divided in several parts) mixed with kabbalistic and magical words in several languages (i.e. Hebrew, Greek, etc.), how the prayers must be said, and the relation that these rituals have to the understanding of all sciences. It mentions the aspects of the Moon in relation with the prayers. It also says that the prayers act as an invocation to God's angels. According to the book, the correct spelling of the prayers gives the knowledge of the science related to each one and also a good memory, stability of mind, and eloquence. This chapter presents the precepts that have to be observed to obtain a good result.
Finally, it tells how King Solomon received the revelation from the angel.
Ars Nova
This is the true final book of the Lemegeton or Lesser Key of Solomon. In here are prayers and invocations, including the infamous last prayer to prevent theivery of the book. There is one prayer, which is very confusing, toward the end of the book which is supposedly used to either "activate" the Brass Vessel of Solomon, as if a golem or other living entity, to consecrate it to hold the spirits, or its an invocation to bind the spirits within the vessel. There also prayers to recite when donning the Hexagram and Pentagram of Solomon, a prayer to consecrate the circle, and a prayer to consecrate the Triangle.

**Addendum**
Tony - There are many versions of the Lesser Key floating around, some well done, some are atrocious copies of copies... in my opinion, THE edition of The Lesser Key of Solomon to own is this one, edited by Joseph H. Peterson:
Compiled from original manuscripts and fragments in the British Museum Library, Joseph Peterson's new presentation is the most complete and accurate edition of this famous magical grimoire, "The Lesser Key of Solomon the King." He goes to great length to establish the provenance of each part, and possible derivative works, including critical analyses of all major variations, utilizing fresh translations of earlier magical texts such as Johann Trithemius's Steganographia, The Archidoxes of Magic by Paracelsus, and newly discovered Hebrew manuscripts of the original Key of Solomon. Abundantly illustrated, Peterson includes reproductions of the original magical circles, tools, and seals of the spirits with variations of certain drawings from various sources and notae missing from earlier editions. Source list. Appendicies. Index.
http://www.amazon.com/Lesser-Key-Solomon-Joseph-Peterson/dp/157863220X
Peterson has issued several editions of occult classics, ranging from Dr. John Dee's Enochian(angelic) experiments to The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses and more... EVERY one is amazing, in my opinion. If you see 'Joseph H. Peterson' on the cover, BUY IT.
He is also the owner of the FANTASTIC Twilight Grotto esoteric archives website.

And I saw a woman sitting on a red beast...

WHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! ;0p
Aleister Crowley - "THE OUIJA BOARD — A NOTE"
THE OUIJA BOARD — A NOTE.
By The Master Therion.
Suppose a perfect stranger came into your office and proceeded to give orders to your staff. Suppose a strange woman walked into your drawing room and insisted on being hostess. You would be troubled by this. Yet, people sit down and offer the use of their brains and hands (which are, after all, more important than offices and drawing rooms) to any stray intelligence that may be wandering about. People use the Ouija Board without taking the slightest precautions.
The establishment of the identity of a spirit by ordinary methods is a very difficult problem, but the majority of people who play at Occultism do not even worry about this. They get something, and it does not seem to matter what! Every inanity, every stupidity, every piece of rubbish, is taken not only at its face value, but at an utterly exaggerated value. The most appallingly bad poetry will pass for Shelley, if only its authentication be that of the planchette! There is, however, a good way of using this instrument to get what you want, and that is to perform the whole operation in a consecrated circle, so that undesirable aliens cannot interfere with it. You should then employ the proper magical invocation in order to get into your circle just the one spirit that you want. It is comparatively easy to do this. A few simple instructions are all that is necessary, and I shall be pleased to give these, free of charge, to any one who cares to apply.
It is not particularly easy to get the spirit of a dead man, because the human soul, being divine, in not amenable to the control of other human souls; and it is further not legitimate or desirable to do it. But what can be done is to pick up the astral remains of the dead man from the Akasha and to build them up into a concrete mind. This operation, again, is not particularly profitable. The only legitimate work in this line is to get into touch with the really high intelligences, such as we call for convenience Gods, Archangels, and the like. These can give real information as to what is most necessary for our progress. And it is written in the Oracles of Zoroaster that unto the Persevering Mortal the Blessed Immortals are swift.

Lloyd Pye: What is the Starchild's main importance?
http://www.lloydpye.com/
http://www.lloydpye.com/starchildskull.htm
"What makes you think an obviously deformed skull is so d***ed important?" That question was recently hurled at me by an agitated skeptic who couldn't understand why anyone would get excited about a skull Wackypedia assured him was a common deformity.
The answer lies in the critical difference between the words contact and disclosure. Contact will be when aliens make themselves known to us as physical entities, and we have dialogue with them and begin the delicate process of learning to coexist with them in a universe instantly grown uncomfortably smaller and shockingly more complex.
(Before any of you ask, No, I don't see the only options being that we dominate them, a la "District 9," or they try to wipe us out, a la "War of the Worlds," or "Independence Day." These are Hollywood's fantasies, which leave out the middle ground where truth is inevitably found.)
Rather than contact, the Starchild Skull represents disclosure, which is the governments of the world (primarily the U.S.) being forced, or agreeing, to admit to alien reality. For six-plus decades governments have managed to keep a tight lid on the truth about aliens and UFOs, but their stranglehold seems to be loosening, their fingers pried open by the widespread dissemination of reliable information on the internet.
Disclosure is much less frightening to everyone than contact. To most governments, disclosure is merely an embarrassment they can overcome in a few months or years. The moment contact occurs, it changes everything--top to bottom, inside out. Disclosure also changes everything, but at a slower pace, a manageable pace, making it far more preferable to the always short-term vision of "the powers that be." Given a choice, which they do have right now, disclosure is preferable.
So what kind of changes might disclosure bring? Because my hand is on the throttle of a vehicle (the Starchild Skull) that is solidly on track to bring us to the point of disclosure in the coming year, I have given this considerable thought. To me it seems obvious that disclosure will have powerful impacts over a wide range of cultural and scientific disciplines.
Which disciplines will be impacted? To what degree? Unfortunately, no one can anticipate impact or degree. It will all happen on the fly, as it unfolds, with surprises at every turn. But that's only in the beginning, in the first few years, as ripples from the announcement spread across the entire globe and force thoroughly brainwashed minds to change, usually against their will.
Where I see the most profound impact is in the future, when the first "Post Disclosure Era" children grow up with the full awareness of alien reality, whether contact has been established by then or not. Those kids will grow into adults who will create entirely new ways of thinking about the human race, and our place in the grand scheme of life in the universe. Those fully-informed adults will transform their society, just as my own "Post War Era" generation transformed its society.
The changes we wrought were in many cases good (the invention of computers and all that goes with them), and in many cases bad (the unfettering of regulations on Wall Street and bankers, leading us into the economic disaster we face today). The Post Disclosure generation will produce similar successes and failures. Unfortunately, I can't begin to predict those, I can only be certain that in the fullness of time they will occur. And thus we come to the rub, which is survival.
If contact occurred within the next few years, the world's current leaders, and especially those in the U.S., would very likely precipitate a disaster by shooting first and asking questions later. That is the ethos our leaders, and we, have all grown up with. A confrontation would be all but inevitable, which is very likely why aliens give us such a wide berth in the area of social niceties.
However, if contact occurs a generation after disclosure, I believe the Post Disclosure leaders would be capable of handling it with grace and, very likely, success. They would be far more likely to guide us into a workable arrangement with any and all other entities that inhabit the universe around us. That next generation would very likely be given a seat at the Galactic Roundtable, or whatever organization exists to coordinate the activities of whatever beings are "out there."
So THAT is what makes the Starchild so d***ed important. It represents the single best hope in the world at this moment of forcing the world's governments (again, and especially, the U.S.) to tolerate disclosure and get the reality of UFOs and aliens out in the open for everyone to start digesting it in their own ways, in their own time. Religion will be slow on the uptake, and science much slower, but eventually they all will have to get on board with the new reality.
We need disclosure now, desperately, because today we are like small children, covering our eyes to pretend UFOs and aliens don't exist. Someone needs to pull our hands away so we can confront our boogeymen and see them for what they really are--highly advanced beings who, if they intended to destroy us, would very likely have done it at the peak of the Cold War, when we were capable of wiping out nearly every form of life on Earth many times over.
To me it seems far more likely that after contact these highly advanced beings would be more likely to help us fix all, or nearly all, of the persistent problems that plague humanity. That won't make us their equals, by any means, but it will be a critically important step forward as we try to pull ourselves out of the enormous holes we are digging with gross overpopulation and staggeringly destructive global pollution.
Whenever we can work up the gumption to take our hands from our eyes and accept that we are not the be-all, end-all of the universe, we are likely to find that we are part of an interesting neighborhood, with good neighbors and possibly bad neighbors, but a neighborhood that will become "home" to us, and very likely allow us to make friends who can and will help us reach heights of accomplishment that we can't even dream of in our currently befuddled state of collective ignorance.

That is the ethos our leaders, and we, have all grown up with. A confrontation would be all but inevitable, which is very likely why aliens give us such a wide berth in the area of social niceties.
However, if contact occurs a generation after disclosure, I believe the Post Disclosure leaders would be capable of handling it with grace and, very likely, success. They would be far more likely to guide us into a workable arrangement with any and all other entities that inhabit the universe around us. That next generation would very likely be given a seat at the Galactic Roundtable, or whatever organization exists to coordinate the activities of whatever beings are "out there."
So THAT is what makes the Starchild so d***ed important. It represents the single best hope in the world at this moment of forcing the world's governments (again, and especially, the U.S.) to tolerate disclosure and get the reality of UFOs and aliens out in the open for everyone to start digesting it in their own ways, in their own time. Religion will be slow on the uptake, and science much slower, but eventually they all will have to get on board with the new reality.
We need disclosure now, desperately, because today we are like small children, covering our eyes to pretend UFOs and aliens don't exist. Someone needs to pull our hands away so we can confront our boogeymen and see them for what they really are--highly advanced beings who, if they intended to destroy us, would very likely have done it at the peak of the Cold War, when we were capable of wiping out nearly every form of life on Earth many times over.
To me it seems far more likely that after contact these highly advanced beings would be more likely to help us fix all, or nearly all, of the persistent problems that plague humanity. That won't make us their equals, by any means, but it will be a critically important step forward as we try to pull ourselves out of the enormous holes we are digging with gross overpopulation and staggeringly destructive global pollution.
Whenever we can work up the gumption to take our hands from our eyes and accept that we are not the be-all, end-all of the universe, we are likely to find that we are part of an interesting neighborhood, with good neighbors and possibly bad neighbors, but a neighborhood that will become "home" to us, and very likely allow us to make friends who can and will help us reach heights of accomplishment that we can't even dream of in our currently befuddled state of collective ignorance.

David Icke: THE BOOK BURNERS ARE BACK
http://www.davidicke.com/
THE BOOK BURNERS ...
… ARE BACK
The point has come in the agenda for human enslavement to discredit and demonise those who are exposing that agenda - and we have seen nothing yet.
It is time for the three 'bees' - brain, backbone, balls - and to expose the real motivation of the 'civil rights' frauds and fakes.
For a President who has vastly increased troop numbers in Afghanistan and whose first action in office was to sanction unmanned civilian-killing drone bombings in Pakistan to moralise about violence makes me fit to puke. But at the core of all this there is no contradiction at all. What is best for the agenda is the common factor.
For them, it is best that they mass-slaughter in foreign lands and make the police and other agencies of government more violent and trigger happy. And it is also best for them that, in stark contrast, they vehemently condemn violence by a mental case in a Tucson street so they can attempt to demonise anyone who is exposing their game ...
... This is a moment to choose between standing tall in the face of the coming onslaught against those are exposing the tyranny, or running away and hiding while the messengers are demonised and their sources of communication targeted.
Where will those people be who, instead of facing the consequences of speaking out publicly for what they believe to be right, choose instead to hide behind anonymous log-in names to abuse and seek to undermine those with more guts and commitment in their smallest digit than they will have in their entire being should they live to be a thousand?
Oh, those people? They will stay, heads down, way out of trouble and if ever it finds them they will be running home crying for their mum - those that are not paid for their Internet rants and 'debunkery' by the agencies of control, that is.
Some of us are in it for as long, and at whatever cost, as may be necessary. Others, especially those who sit on the sidelines and boo-suck the doers, are not 'in it' at all.
Like I say, brain, backbone, balls. It is going to be quite a ride, but the genie's out of the bottle and he ain't going back - much as they will try.

On the seven principles in human beings, according to Theosophy
On the seven principles in human beings, according to theosophy
The Theosophical constitution of man (and woman) In theosophical and other spiritual literature there is a way of seeing man that is quite different from the way science sees it. In this short article I will try and explain this to the best of my abilities. First I will give a general scheme:| Physical Body (1) | the body science knows so much about, with cells, genes etc. | Physical body, Astral body and Kama Rupa together make the mortal part of man. This does (according to theosophy) NOT reincarnate. These bodies die one at a time after the death of the physical body. |
| Astral Body (2) or (3) | also called Linga Sharira. Here the differences in terminology even among theosophists come into play. H.P. Blavatsky uses it to mean the Double, a phantom body, with the same shape as the physical body, but visible only to clairvoyants. It shapes to a large extent the physical body and is in its turn shaped by the imagination (if strong enough) of the person. | |
| Kama Rupa (3) or (4) | The seat of animal desires and passions. Present day theosophists usually translate this with their emotional selves, or emotional body. | |
| Manas (5) | Mind, intelligence | The link between the higher and the lower, the eternal and the temporary. |
| Buddhi (6) | That which is above our thinking principle, but not yet the eternal spirit. Blavatsky calls it (in her Key to Theosophy) the spiritual soul. Sometimes it is said that it is our intuition. Sometimes it is said that it is the ability to see what is, without having to reason about it. | Buddhi and Atma together make that which reincarnates. Only the best part of Manas reincarnates with these two. |
| Atma (7) | Spirit. Blavatsky says: "One with the Absolute, as its radiation" (Key, p. 92) This is our Highest self, the divine spark, etc. |
Another, simpler way of putting it is the following: we have (clearly) a physical body. We also have emotions, mind and something that goes beyond mind. Theosophists will add to this list only that there is something even beyond that which goes beyond mind (Atma). That which goes beyond mind is Buddhi. Mind is also called Manas. Emotions are called Kama. Last is then the physical body, of which it is said (and confirmed by clairvoyants) that it has a form-body aside from the physical body we see with our ordinary eyes. The form-body is called Linga Sarira, or astral body. The physical body is called just that, but also sometimes Sthula-Sarira.
The terms Sthula-Sarira, Prana, Linga Sarira, Kama rupa, manas, buddhi and atma are all from the Sanskrit, the ancient and sacred language of India.
