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: "If any be by chance imprisoned or detained in fetters of iron, at the presence of this Pentacle, which should be engraved in Gold on the day and hour of the Sun, he will be immediately delivered and set at liberty." This is said to be excellent for undoing the bindings that hold us back from our potential. The versicle is from Psalm cxvi. 16, 17: "Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder. I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the Name of IHVH." Talismans of the Sun are best dedicated to use on Sunday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Solar affinity, such as frankincense.
