The Lesser Key of Solomon (also known as Clavicula Salomonis Regis or Lemegeton) is a collection of five magical manuscripts; The Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel, and Ars Notoria. Some practioners have suggested that the five books were once separate texts, which were combined to form the Lemegeton.
Ars Paulina
The third book is called Ars Paulina, or The Art Pauline (The Pauline Art), and deals with the Zodiac, the planets and the related angels and spirits and is divided into two parts:
The first part deals with twenty-four Angels who rule the hours of the day and night and the angels are listed with several serviant Angels.
The second part concerns the finding of the Angel of the degree of one’s own natal Ascendant, your Sun and Moon angels which are so important in the Pauline Art. Your moon angel is therefore reputed to hold the mysteries of one’s destiny, career and fortune. The text ends with the full invocation of the petitioners Holy Guardian Angel.
Ars Pauline was revealed to the Apostle Paul after he had ascended the third heaven, and was then delivered by him at Corinth.
But like with many other grimoires the true date of publication is not known.
Elements from The Magical Calendar, astrological seals by Robert Turner's 1656 translation of Paracelsus's Archidoxes of Magic, and repeated mentions of guns and the year 1641 indicate that this portion was written in the later half of the seventeenth century.
