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. This talisman is described as "proper to acquire the understanding and Knowledge of all things created, and to seek out and penetrate into hidden things; and to command those Spirits which are called Allatori to perform embassies. They obey very readily." The versicle reads "Wisdom and virtue are in his house, and the Knowledge of all things remaineth with him forever." Talismans of Mercury are best dedicated to use on Wednesday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Mercurial affinity, such as lavender or bergamot.
