Andromalius

The 72nd of the seventy-two, an earl. Returns thieves and stolen goods. In the language of this path, Andromalius is a shadow pole — worked only with its angel, Mumiah.

What the grimoires say

In the 1904 Goetia, Andromalius is an Earl governing 36 legions. Returns thieves and stolen goods; discovers wickedness and hidden treasure.

A great and mighty earl who appears in the form of a man holding a large serpent in his hand.

“The Seventy-second in Order, and the last, is called Andromalius. He is an Earl, Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man holding a Great Serpent in his Hand. His Office is to bring back both a Thief, and the Goods which be stolen; and to discover all Wickedness, and Underhand Dealing; and to punish all Thieves, and other Wicked People; and also to discover Treasures that be Hid. He ruleth over 36 Legions of Spirits.”— Mathers & Crowley, The Goetia (1904), public domain

The shadow it carries

Stripped to the bone, Andromalius's traditional office turns on recovering stolen goods and identifying the thief responsible. Read plainly, that is a real human force; in the language of this path its raw, unowned form is a shadow pole. Its shadow is what that force does when it runs you from the dark; its gold is the same force — seen, owned, governed.

You never reach for it alone. Its light pole is the angel Mumiah; met together, behind protection, Andromalius becomes a disowned part of yourself approached while the light is already in the room.

Correspondences

A word of honesty first: almost none of the table below is from the old grimoires. The rank, legions, direction and office are traditional; the planet, day, colour, tarot, incense and the Enn are modern attributions (mostly 20th–21st-century Demonolatry and correspondence compilations), and the sources openly disagree. Use them as a working frame, not as law.

Correspondence	Value	Where it comes from
Tarot	Ten of Cups	Modern — Golden Dawn / Crowley's Liber 777, mapping the third decan of Pisces; not in the historical grimoires
Zodiac / Decan	Pisces, third decan (20–30 degrees), night	Modern — Golden Dawn decan system applied to the Goetia; not in the historical grimoires
Planet	Mars	Modern — 20th/21st-century occult correspondence tables
Day	Tuesday	Modern — derived from the Mars attribution
Element	Earth (after Agrippa) or Fire (Golden Dawn) — sources disagree	Modern — two competing modern systems; not in the historical grimoires
Metal	Copper and silver	Modern — occult correspondence tables
Candle colour	Red	Modern — occult correspondence tables (tied to the Mars attribution)
Incense	Dragon's blood	Modern — occult correspondence tables
Plant	No traditional attribution; dragon's blood resin (Dracaena/Daemonorops) is cited only as the associated incense material	None historical — modern inference from the incense at best
Animal	Serpent	Grounded in the primary source — the 1904 Goetia describes him holding a great serpent; treated as an attribute rather than a formal correspondence
Date window	11–20 March (Golden Dawn decan) or 16–20 March (Rudd/Shem degree count)	Modern — astrological attribution via the paired Shem angel Mumiah (25–30 degrees Pisces); not in the historical grimoires

Its modern Enn — a chant from the Demonolatry current, not found in any grimoire:

“Mankosi Andromalius”

Making a connection

Gathered from what practitioners report, put plainly — a starting point, not a rule:

Sit with the seal above as the first meeting-place: trace it, hold it in the mind’s eye, and let impressions arrive without grabbing at them.
Set a gentle frame. Keep it simple — a red candle, a tuesday, a little incense, a moment of quiet. If you work the Demonolatry current, chant the Enn softly — more like settling than commanding.
Bring the real theme. Practitioners associate Andromalius with uncovering hidden wickedness, deception, and underhand dealing, revealing lost, concealed, or buried things, including hidden treasure. Name what you actually want, and ask — don’t demand.
Journal before and after, and treat everything as your own experience, not fixed doctrine.

Never alone — the angel first. This is a shadow pole, and the whole discipline of this path is that you never reach for one by itself. Call its angel, Mumiah (Shem angel #72), first; work behind protection, inside a cast circle; and witness, don't become. If you have not yet read it, start with The Goetic Spirits — Safely. This is advanced work and it is not a substitute for mental-health care.

Rank, legions, direction and office are from the public-domain grimoires (Weyer 1577; Mathers & Crowley, The Goetia, 1904). Images are public domain: the 1904 seal. The Enn and the planet/day/colour/tarot correspondences are modern attributions (Demonolatry and compilations), flagged as such; sources disagree, and no copyrighted description or artwork is reproduced. Angel pairing per the Rudd tradition. Take the technique, never the tribe.

“What was stolen from you is not gone. Name it, and it starts to find its way home.”
