The legendary patriarch is none other than St. Benedict, the founder of the Monte Cassino monastary and one of the key innovators of monastic values and order. His entire life there have been instances of him being absolutely protected against ill-harm and evil intention - A poisoned cup broke into pieces when he made a sign of the cross before it, and a raven swooped down and stole away a poisoned loaf of bread that he was offered.

The Key of Solomon, in Latin Clavis Salomonis or Clavicula Salomonis, Hebrew Mafteah Shelomoh, is a grimoire, or book on magic, attributed to King Solomon, probably dating to the 14th to 15th century Italian Renaissance and presenting a typical example of Renaissance magic. A medieval book on magic containing the actual words and instructions of King Solomon himself, instructing his followers on how to summon and master spiritual powers, as in most medieval grimoires, all magical operations are ostensibly performed through the power of God, to whom all the invocations are addressed. Before any of these operations (termed "experiments") are performed, the operator must confess his sins and purge himself of evil, invoking the protection of God. The Key of Solomon seperated into two book, The Heptagram and The Pentagram, each book provide diffrent type of contain of exorcism.
