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 5th Pentacle of Venus is described as "inciteth and exciteth wonderfully unto Love" those who look upon it. Around the central square are the names Elohim and El Gebil. The characters are those of the Kabbalistic 'Passing of the River' alphabet. The surrounding Versicle is from Psalm xxii. 14:– "My heart is like wax, it is melted in the midst of my bowels." Talismans of Venus are best dedicated to use on Friday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Venusian affinity, such as rose or other sweetly smelling flowers.
