The Seal of King Solomon

Guys have you heard the legend that has it that King Solomon possessed a magic ring. A seal ring given to him by God made of brass and iron with the name of God on it. It is also said that he was given four jewels by four angles and he set these jewels into the ring and this gave him power over the four elements. This ring allowed him to control demons and gave him the ability to speak to animals or beasts. It is said that Solomon used the power of this ring to make demons build the temple. There is also a story that Asmodeus or the demon Sakhr obtained the ring from Solomon and held it for forty years. Solomon was penniless during this time and for some reason the ring was tossed into the sea where it was swallowed by a fish and was caught by a fisherman and was rediscovered by Solomon. Me, I think legends like this are pretty interesting. King Solomon has been said to be a wizard or a sorcerer. Just imagine the power one can wield with a ring with the name of God on it. Just to know the name of God is huge. Ah yes, just maybe the ‘Lord of the Rings’ was inspired from this legend. Papa Chuck
