Blending zodiacal divination with Qabalistic magic and Solomonic demons, Jaime Paul Lamb details a system of occult astrology based on ancient texts. He discusses the angels of the Shem HaMephorash and the qabalistic lore surrounding them, the demons of the Ars Goetia and their origin in the Solomonic grimoire tradition, and how each demon is paired with a specific angel. He details the astrological meanings, significations, attributes, sigils, and seals of the 72 angels and their demon counterparts.

The author shows how the 72 Shem HaMephorash angels from the medieval Sefer Raziel HaMalakh and their corresponding 72 demons from the Ars Goetia (a Solomonic grimoire) are each associated with a specific 5-degree arc of the zodiac, with one angel-demon pair, or quinary, per segment. With 30 degrees in each astrological sign, there are thus 6 angel-demon quinaries for each sign, each providing new insights for understanding personality and fate. He examines the zodiac degrees ruled by each angel and demon and explains how the quinaries influence the planets within the 5 degrees that they rule.

Providing the historical, theoretical, and practical tools necessary to apply these 72 quinarian keys of occult astrology, Lamb's guide allows astrologers to interpret individuals' charts with greater subtlety and depth while simultaneously enhancing their own magical practice.
