{{main|Seal of Solomon}}
The [[Seal of Solomon]] is the legendary [[Seal (emblem)|signet ring]] attributed to Solomon in medieval mystical traditions, from which it developed in parallel within [[Jewish mysticism]], [[Sufism|Islamic mysticism]] and [[Western esotericism|Western occultism]]. It is the predecessor to the [[Star of David]], the contemporary cultural and religious symbol of the [[Jews|Jewish people]]. It was often depicted in the shape of either a [[pentagram]] or a [[hexagram]]. In religious lore, the ring is described as having given Solomon the power to command the [[supernatural]] and also the ability to speak with animals. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, it came to be seen as an [[amulet]] or [[talisman]], or a symbol or character in [[Medieval European magic|medieval magic]] and [[Renaissance magic]], [[occult]]ism, and [[alchemy]].
