Key of Solomon Book 2:
CHAPTER XXIII
CONCERNING SACRIFICES TO THE SPIRITS, AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE MADE
In many operations it is necessary to make some sort of sacrifice unto the demons, and in various ways. Sometimes white animals are sacrificed to the good spirits and black to the evil. Such sacrifices consist of the blood and sometimes of the flesh.
They who sacrifice animals, of whatsoever kind they be, should select those which are virgin, as being more agreeable unto the spirits, and rendering them more obedient.
When blood is to be sacrificed it should be drawn also from virgin quadrupeds or birds, but before offering the oblation, say:—
May this sacrifice which we find it proper to offer unto ye, noble and lofty beings, be agreeable and pleasing unto your desires; be ye ready to obey us, and ye shall receive greater ones.
Then perfume and sprinkle it according to the rules of art.
When it is necessary, with all the proper ceremonies, to make sacrifices of fire, they should be made of wood which hath some quality referring especially unto the spirits invoked;1 as
* juniper, or pine,2 unto the spirits of Saturn;
* box, or oak, unto those of Jupiter;
* cornel, or cedar, unto those of Mars;
* laurel unto those of the Sun;
* myrtle unto those of Venus;
* hazel unto those of Mercury; and
* willow unto those of the Moon.
But when we make sacrifices of food and drink, everything necessary should be prepared outside of the circle,2 [the table previously washed or new,]3 and the meats should be covered with some fine clean cloth, and have also a clean white cloth spread beneath them; with fresh4 bread, and precious wine,5 but in all things those which refer to the nature of the planet. Animals, such as fowls or pigeons, should be roasted. Especially shouldst thou have a vessel of clear and pure fountain water, and before thou enterest into the circle, thou shalt summon the spirits by their proper names, or at least those chief among them, saying:—
In whatsoever place ye may be, ye spirits, who are invited to this feast, come ye and be ready to receive our offerings, presents, and sacrifices, and ye shall have hereafter yet more agreeable oblations.
Perfume the viands with sweet incense, and sprinkle them with exorcised water; then commence to conjure the spirits until they shall come.
This is the manner of making sacrifices in all arts and operations wherein it is necessary, and acting thus, the spirits will be prompt to serve thee.
Here endeth our Key, the which if thou thoroughly instillest into thy memory, thou shalt be able, if it pleaseth thee, even to fly with the wings of the wind. But if thou takest little heed hereof, and despiseth this book, never shalt thou attain unto the desired end in any magical experiment or operation whatsoever.
For in this book is comprised all science of magical art, and it should be strictly kept by thee. And hereunto is the end of our Key, in the name of God the righteous, the merciful, and the eternal, who liveth and reigneth throughout the ages. Amen.
THE END OF THE KEY OF SOLOMON THE KING.
