Lilith is found in very few [[grimoire]]s of [[King Solomon|Solomonic]] magic. The most well-known is the 15th century manuscript known as the ''[[Munich Manual of Demonic Magic]]''. This book contains a ritual called the [[First Mirror of Lilith]] which allows a magician to gain hidden knowledge by means of a mirror engraved with sacred symbols and texts. This mirror is consecrated to Lilith and used as part of an invocation to summon her in a cemetery or at a crossroads. | Lilith is found in very few [[grimoire]]s of [[King Solomon|Solomonic]] magic.
