The "Key of Solomon" is a grimoire of ceremonial magic attributed to King Solomon. God, impressed with Solomon's selfless pursuit of wisdom and justice, sent an angel to instruct him on a Sacred Art. Written down for the benefit of his son Rehoboam, the manuscript was later unearthed by Babylonian philosophers. The grimoire describes a series of planetary pentacles and the intentions and functions they serve. The grimoire describes the talisman as "having great power. It serveth for assured visions. Jacob being armed with this Pentacle beheld the ladder which reached unto heaven." The Hebrew letters within the Pentacle are taken from the five last words of the versicle which surrounds it, taken from Ezekiel i. 1: "As I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of Elohim." Talismans of Jupiter are best dedicated to use on Thursday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Juperian affinity, such as pine or cedar.
