Indeed, it appears that the Ars Goetia is more dependent upon Scot's translation of Weyer than on Weyer's work in itself. The omission of Pruflas, a mistake that also occurs in an edition of Pseudomonarchia Daemonum cited in Reginald Scot's The Discoverie of Witchcraft, indicates that the Ars Goetia could not have been compiled before 1570. The order of the spirits changed between the two, four additional spirits were added to the later work, and one spirit ( Pruflas) was omitted. Weyer does not cite, and is unaware of, any other books in the Lemegeton, suggesting that the Lemegeton was derived from his work, not the other way around.

The most obvious source for the Ars Goetia is Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum in his De praestigiis daemonum. Goetia is unfortunate, by the commerces of unclean spirits made up of the rites of wicked curiosities, unlawful charms, and deprecations, and is abandoned and execrated by all laws.' Sources Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, in his Three Books of Occult Philosophy, writes 'Now the parts of ceremonial magic are goetia and theurgia.

In medieval and Renaissance Europe, goetia was generally considered evil and heretical, in contrast to theurgia ( theurgy) and magia naturalis ( natural magic), which were sometimes considered more noble. It is derived from the Ancient Greek word γοητεία ( goēteía) meaning “charm” ' witchcraft' or 'jugglery'. The Latin term goetia refers to the evocation of demons or evil spirits. Waite, in his 1898 Book of Black Magic and of Pacts does use the terms 'so-called Greater Key' and 'Lesser Key' to distinguish between the Clavicula Salomonis and Lemegeton, so he may have been the first one to coin it. The title most commonly used, 'The Lesser Key of Solomon,' does not in fact occur in the manuscripts. The text is more properly called 'Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis, or, The little Key of Solomon'.
