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 talisman is described as bringing tempests and hail to enemy lines, creating chaos for adversaries. The spirit of Mars is associated with victory in battle and protection from enemies. Around the Pentacle is Psalms 105:32-39, "He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. He smote their vines also, and their fig-trees." Talismans of Mars are best dedicated to use on Tuesday within the first hour after sunrise. Pass the pendant through incense smoke having Martial affinity, such as dragon's blood or fiery herbs such as cinnamon.
