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

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

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

by a young maiden.<br />

149:2 The Key <strong>of</strong> Solomon renders <strong>the</strong>se 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 <strong>the</strong> garment and <strong>the</strong> shoes by <strong>the</strong> Clavicle. They<br />

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

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

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

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

CHAPTER II<br />

The Initial Rites and Ceremonies<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Solday = Saturn = = Saturday.<br />

Zedex = Jupiter = = Thursday.<br />

Madime = Mars = ♂ = Tuesday.<br />

Zemen = Sol = = Sunday.
