The Ars Goetia

The Ars Goetia is the first book of the Lemegeton, or Lesser Key of Solomon. It is not one book by one hand but a compilation made in the seventeenth century out of older material, and it survives in a family of manuscripts rather than in a single authoritative copy. It names seventy-two spirits, and gives each of them a rank, a number of legions, a seal, and an account of what he can be asked for.

The seals here are reproduced from The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King, edited by S. L. MacGregor Mathers and published by Aleister Crowley in 1904, which prints the manuscript tradition of British Library Sloane MS 3825 and its relatives. Very nearly every Goetia seal in circulation today descends from that edition’s plates.

Where these come from

Johann Weyer’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum of 1577 is often named as the source of these seals. It lists sixty-nine spirits and gives no seals at all. The seals belong to the seventeenth-century manuscripts, not to Weyer.

Lemegeton manuscripts, 17th century. First printed 1904. The text and the seals are in the public domain.
