| - | In [[occultism]] and [[demonology]], '''Goetia''' (from the Greek 'goeteia' meaning witchcraft) is the art of evoking [[demon]]s or other [[spirit]]s and obliging them to do the [[conjurer]]'s will, without falling under their power. | + | #REDIRECT [[Ars_Goetia]] |

| - | The [[Ars Goetia]], first part of [[The Lesser Key of Solomon]], is a good example of treatise on this subject, but it was already known and explained in earlier times, in the [[Key of Solomon]] and other mediaeval [[grimoire]]s. | + | |

| - | The book, "The Goetia - The Lesser Key of Solomon the King (Clavicula Salomonis Regis)" was translated by [[Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers]], with an introduction by [[Aleister Crowley]]. It includes the [[Bornless Ritual]], the seals of the spirits, their physical descriptions and actions. There are drawings done by Crowley for some of them. | + | |

| - | Many of the so-called demons have their roots in earlier [[Paganism|pagan]] Gods from the [[Sumer]]ian and [[Mesopotamia]]n pantheons, among others. There is also evidence that the texts were highly influenced by [[Islam]]ic [[Alchemy]], although the main structure is firmly rooted in [[Kabbalah]]. | + | |
