Where this comes from

The Key of Solomon is the best known of the Renaissance grimoires, surviving in dozens of manuscripts in Latin, French, Italian and Hebrew. Mathers made his 1889 edition from seven manuscripts in the British Museum, and it is his plates that every later reproduction of these pentacles descends from.

The Key of Solomon the King (Clavicula Salomonis), translated and edited by S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers (London: George Redway, 1889). The text and the pentacles are in the public domain.

The pentacle is traced from the plate in the De Laurence edition of 1914 (Chicago: De Laurence, Scott & Co.), which reprints Mathers' plates at a larger size, and checked line for line against the 1889 printing.

Mathers' note: The characters at the ends of the rays of the Mystic Wheel are Magical Characters of Saturn. Surrounding it are the Names of the Angels:—Omeliel, Anachiel, Arauchiah, and Anazachia, written in Hebrew.
