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. This talisman is described as "serveth excellently to excite and cause heavy rains if it be engraved upon a plate of silver; and if it he placed under water, as long as it remaineth there, there will be rain." The pentacle is composed of mystical characters of the Moon, surrounded by a versicle from Genesis vii. 11, 12:- "All the fountains of the great deep were broken up... and the rain was upon the earth." Talismans of the Moon are best dedicated to use on Monday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Lunar affinity, such as ylang-ylang or jasmine.
