In most Sephardic communities, on the night before the circumcision, the men of the family and their friends gather to recite portions of the Zohar related to circumcision. The gathering itself is called Zohar or Brit Yitzchak(Covenant of Isaac). Cakes and various sweets are served and the Chacham (rabbi) delivers a Torah lecture.
Many hang Kabbalistic charts on the walls and door of the child's room as a protection against the "evil spirits" (Satan and his cohorts). These signs bear many protective Biblical verses. Some also place the circumcision knife under the child's pillow for added protection.
There is no source on the Internet for that has the prayers transliterated. The best I can do is attach a link (below) that has the full Hebrew text with a translation.

Sephardi is a term used to refer to Jews who live(d) in Sepharad, the ancient name for Spain, mainly after the Roman exile. As Solomon did not live in Spain, nor was from Spain, he was not a Sephardi Jew.
