what does the bible say?
Contrary to its title, the Key of Solomon has nothing to do with David's son Solomon from the Bible. It is a book of black magic, called a grimoire, written in Latin in the 1300s or 1400s. The Bible firmly condemns sorcery, divination, and attempts to control the spiritual realm apart from God. These practices are described as abominations, acts of rebellion, and contrary to faith in God (Deuteronomy 18:10–12; 1 Samuel 15:23). Scripture teaches that spiritual power and insight come only through a relationship with God and reliance on the Holy Spirit, not through occult rituals or magical spells. The Key of Solomon reflects the human tendency to seek control over spiritual realities, rather than submitting to God’s authority. True wisdom and spiritual understanding are found in God’s Word, not in mystical texts or rituals (Proverbs 3:5–6; Colossians 2:8).
