Secret Seal of Solomon Pendant
The 44 seals or pentacles of Solomon were reportedly created by the god of Abrahan, transmitted by his holy Archangel Michael, and received by the biblical king Solomon. Legend tells us these holy seals brought the king wealth building knowledge of the universe. The seals, their attributes, and power are best recorded in the book now published as The Greater Key of Solomon.
This interpretation of the Secret Seal of Solomon can be traced to the grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon. Because that book was authored anonymously and without much reference, the exact origin of the Secret Seal of Solomon remains unknown. There is certainly a connection to Dr. Johann Weyer through his book titled On the Tricks of Demons. But that fact is overlooked and rarely mentioned because Dr. Weyer favored science over magic when the two began separating. The book argues that witchcraft is a product of mental illness.

Some references put this seal as the symbol on King Solomon's magic ring. All we can say for sure is as of the 17th century book The Lesser Key of Solomon this symbol has been incorporated into Western occultism.
