King Solomon's amulets are unique among amulets in several ways. Solomon was a philosopher-king. There was peace during his reign and the kingdom prospered and served as a regional cultural center.
He occupied himself with problem solving and assistance through writing and other forms. As the father of the saying, "He who lives by sword shall die by the sword," he viewed every problem in two contrasting and complementary ways.
Many years before the scientific genius Sir Isaac Newton formulated his Third Law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, King Solomon was aware of this fact and used it as the basis for his doctrine of amulet design.
In addition, he did not believe in one remedy or solution for all of life's problems, and thus his amulets were designed to solve specific problems such as overcoming illness, finding work, clarity of thought, becoming pregnant, etc. He viewed the issue of finding work and financial success in the wake of the job as two separate and different problems. Furthermore, according to his doctrine, the birth of many descendants requires special assistance, different from the assistance one needs simply to become pregnant and so forth. That is why there are so many amulets ascribed to him or according to his doctrine.
King Solomon's amulets are very ancient and are mentioned in the closing prayer of the Book of Formation as being of special quality.
People of other religions have also adopted Solomon's doctrines and indeed, there are non-Jewish signs on some of the amulets. The structure of a Solomon amulet is an outer layer on which mainly verses from the Torah are inscribed and an inner part, which is the operating engine. The outer layer directs the power and contains biblical verses, which offer two possibilities: success and failure. The inner layer pushes toward success.
The inner layer is composed of Torah verses as well, be they complete or composed of the first letter of each word alone.
