Footnotes<br />

148:2 A long garment <strong>of</strong> white linen, close before and behind, covering the whole body<br />

even to the feet, and cinctured by a girdle--such is the ordinance <strong>of</strong> pseudo-Agrippa.<br />

149:1 According to the Key <strong>of</strong> Solomon the thread <strong>of</strong> which they are made should be spun<br />

by a young maiden.<br />

149:2 <strong>The</strong> Key <strong>of</strong> Solomon renders these names differently, namely: Amor, Amator,<br />

Amides, Ideodaniach, Pamor, Plaior, Anitor; for Sabbath garments it substitutes<br />

Vestments <strong>of</strong> Power.<br />

149:3 Special characters are given for the garment and the shoes by the Clavicle. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

bear no analogy to anything in the Grimoire.<br />

149:4 For the hat or bonnet a crown is prescribed in the Clavicle, and it should be made<br />

<strong>of</strong> virgin paper.<br />

149:5 In place <strong>of</strong> these words the Key <strong>of</strong> Solomon substitutes El and Elohim.<br />

CHAPTER II<br />

<strong>The</strong> Initial Rites and Ceremonies<br />

§ 1. Concerning the Virtues <strong>of</strong> the Planets<br />

THE Key <strong>of</strong> Solomon the King is the only ordinary <strong>Magic</strong>al Ritual which regulates the<br />

operations <strong>of</strong> <strong>Magic</strong>al Art in accordance with a formal attribution <strong>of</strong> certain hours in the<br />

day and night to the rule and influence <strong>of</strong> certain planets, while the <strong>Book</strong> <strong>of</strong> True Black<br />

<strong>Magic</strong> is the only Goëtic Grimoire which follows the Clavicle closely in this as in other<br />

respects. 1 <strong>The</strong> directions given are, however, exceedingly confused. <strong>The</strong> common<br />

attribution <strong>of</strong> the seven days to the seven planets obtains in both cases, and is set out in<br />

the Grimoire as follows: 2--<br />

Solday = Saturn = = Saturday.<br />

Zedex = Jupiter = = Thursday.<br />

Madime = Mars = ♂ = Tuesday.<br />

Zemen = Sol = = Sunday.
