 "The Key of Solomon" became popular among occultists for hundreds of years.In 1888, there was the publication of an English translation of the "Key of Solomon" by Samuel Mathers (one of the co-founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), which made the text of the "Key of Solomon" available to the anglophone world.That 1888 English version inspired Gerald Gardner, the creator of Wicca, to incorporate the wand and various other ritual objects into Wicca.
