Andromalius: Powers, Sigil, Enn, Offerings & Summoning Ritual
Andromalius is the seventy-second and final spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Great and Mighty Earl who appears as a man holding a serpent. His office is unusually concrete: he brings back thieves and stolen goods, exposes underhand dealings, punishes wrongdoing and reveals hidden treasure.
That makes Andromalius one of the most practical spirits in the Goetia when the problem involves theft, deception, concealed motives, missing property, fraud, betrayal or hidden value. I do not approach him as a generic revenge spirit. His current is much sharper when there is something to uncover, recover or set right.
There is also an important historical detail that most short demon profiles miss: Andromalius is not found in Johann Weyer’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. Joseph Peterson notes that Andromalius appears in other magical manuscripts, often in stand-alone operations for detecting thieves or discovering treasure, and was incorporated into the later Goetic list. The manuscript notes are especially useful here.
Who Is Andromalius?
The Ars Goetia describes Andromalius as a Great and Mighty Earl appearing as a man holding a great serpent. He governs thirty-six legions.
His office is to return a thief and stolen goods, discover wickedness and underhand dealings, punish thieves and other wrongdoers, and reveal hidden treasure. The older manuscript material connected with him expands the same idea into plots, secret combinations, deception and concealed plans that cause loss or injury.
The serpent fits the office extremely well. It represents what moves beneath the obvious surface: the hidden route of the stolen object, the concealed motive, the lie inside a negotiation or the information deliberately kept out of sight.
Andromalius’s Powers
| Traditional office | How I use it in practice |
|---|---|
| Return thieves and stolen goods | Recovering property, locating what disappeared, identifying the route through which something was taken |
| Expose underhand dealings | Fraud, hidden motives, dishonest negotiation, concealed agreements and manipulation |
| Punish wrongdoing | Restitution, consequences and forcing dishonest behavior into the open |
| Discover hidden treasure | Hidden assets, overlooked value, buried information and material opportunities concealed by confusion or secrecy |
Andromalius’s Sigil
The Goetic seal is the main spirit-link I use in formal work. The text instructs the magician to wear the seal as a lamen during the operation.
For recovery or deception work I place the seal before a black mirror and put the object representing the case directly in front of it. That object can be a receipt, photograph of the missing property, contract, account statement or another legitimate link to the situation.
I avoid turning the altar into evidence theater. One strong material link is better than ten decorative props.
Andromalius’s Enn
A modern enn commonly used for Andromalius is:
Tasa fubin Andromalius on ca.
This formula is modern and does not come from the Ars Goetia. I use it as an attunement chant, especially before mirror work, but I keep the historical and modern layers separate.
Andromalius Offerings
The Goetia does not give a devotional offering list for Andromalius, so I choose offerings according to his office rather than pretending one later correspondence system is ancient.
| Offering | Why I use it |
|---|---|
| Dark red wine | Formal restitution or exposure work |
| Frankincense and myrrh | Creates a serious divinatory atmosphere without burying the operation under heavy perfume |
| A written acknowledgment after recovery | Appropriate when the work succeeds through exposure, return or restitution |
| A completed act of restitution | Useful when the working reveals that the magician also needs to correct something on his own side |
When I Work With Andromalius
I choose Andromalius when there is a concrete problem with a hidden layer. Something has been stolen, someone is lying, a deal feels wrong, money is disappearing, a person is concealing the real terms, or a valuable opportunity is buried under incomplete information.
I do not call him merely because I am angry. Anger can be useful information, but his office is more exact than revenge. The question should be: what is hidden, where did it go, who is responsible, and what would restitution look like?
Attuning to Andromalius
For a short attunement, place his sigil before a black mirror. Put a metal key on the seal and a bowl of clean water in front of you.
Light one white candle and burn frankincense.
Repeat:
Tasa fubin Andromalius on ca.
When the sigil becomes visually active, stop chanting and ask:
What part of this situation is being deliberately hidden from me?
Stay with one question. If the contact is useful, the answer should reduce confusion rather than multiply it.
How to Summon Andromalius: The Serpent of Restitution Ritual
This is the full ceremonial operation I use for stolen property, fraud, hidden dealings, betrayal or a situation where the truth has to be brought into the open before anything can be recovered.
The ritual is deliberately structured around trace, exposure, recovery and restitution. It is not a generic curse.
Ritual Implements
You will need Andromalius’s sigil, a black mirror, an athame, a wand or staff, a bell, two metal keys, a small lock or padlock, black cord, white cord, a bowl of clean water, an offering cup, a charcoal burner, four candles, four stones and one object or document directly connected with the case.
Use a black candle for concealment, a white candle for exposure, a dark green candle for recovery of value and a red candle for consequence.
For the stone field I use obsidian, hematite, smoky quartz and clear quartz.
For incense, use frankincense with myrrh.
Prepare the Case Anchor
Place the document or object connected with the problem on the altar. Put one key on top of it.
Wrap it with black cord and tie four knots. These represent concealment, deception, displacement and obstruction.
Place the second key beside the lock. The second key will become the recovery key later in the rite.
Construct the Circle and Serpent Triangle
Mark a ritual circle with salt.
Outside the circle, place the black mirror at the back of a manifestation triangle and Andromalius’s sigil before it.
Place clear quartz in the center, obsidian to the left, hematite to the right and smoky quartz at the point nearest you.
Set the black candle behind the mirror, the white candle at the front of the triangle, the green candle to the right and the red candle to the left.
Open the Four Offices
Ring the bell once.
Light the black candle and name what is hidden.
Light the white candle and state that deception must become visible.
Light the green candle and name what must be recovered.
Light the red candle last and state that wrongdoing must produce consequence rather than remain profitable.
Consecrate the Recovery Key
Take the second key and pass it through the incense.
Touch it to smoky quartz, obsidian, hematite and clear quartz.
Speak one function at each stone: Trace. Reveal. Return. Confirm.
Lay the key across Andromalius’s sigil.
Open the First Knot: Concealment
Untie the first knot around the case anchor.
State what you know has been concealed, without adding accusations you cannot support.
Place the loose cord beside the black candle.
Call Andromalius
Face the mirror and begin the enn:
Tasa fubin Andromalius on ca.
Continue until the atmosphere becomes distinct, then stop.
Trace Andromalius’s seal once above the manifestation triangle with the athame.
Speak:
Andromalius, Great Earl who uncovers theft, hidden dealings and concealed treasure, I call you into this chamber. Follow the serpent’s path beneath what is obvious. Show me where the truth has been buried, how the loss occurred and what must be exposed before restitution can begin.
Strike the floor once with the staff and remain silent.
Open the Second Knot: Deception
Undo the second knot.
Hold the case anchor before the mirror and ask:
What lie, omission or hidden agreement is controlling this situation?
Let the answer form before interpreting it. If a person comes to mind, ask what behavior or evidence confirms the impression rather than simply assuming guilt.
The Serpent Trace
Take the white cord and lay it on the floor or altar in a winding line from the case anchor toward Andromalius’s sigil.
Move the recovery key slowly along the cord while recounting the known sequence of events from beginning to end.
When you reach a point where the story becomes uncertain, stop the key there.
Look into the black mirror and ask what happened at that point.
This phase is especially useful when property, money or information changed hands through several people or stages.
Open the Third Knot: Displacement
Undo the third knot.
Place the original key from the case anchor into the bowl of water.
Hold the recovery key above the green candle and state what you want returned, restored or compensated.
Do not demand an impossible exact form if restitution can arrive another way. If stolen money cannot literally be returned by the original route, the working can still aim at repayment, evidence, settlement or recovery of equivalent value.
Open the Fourth Knot: Obstruction
Undo the final knot.
Place all four black cord sections beside the obsidian.
Ask Andromalius:
What obstacle prevents the truth or the property from returning?
Receive one answer.
The Lock of Restitution
Take the small lock and close it around the white cord without cutting the cord.
Place the lock directly above the case anchor.
Then take the recovery key from the sigil and unlock it.
As the lock opens, speak:
What was hidden is opened. What was diverted is traced. What was wrongfully held is called back into the path of restitution.
The Mirror of Evidence
Place the white candle closer to the mirror.
Ask Andromalius what evidence, conversation, record, witness or practical action would most effectively bring the situation into the open.
This is the part of the ritual I consider most important. A spiritual impression becomes far more valuable when it tells you what to verify in ordinary reality.
Offering and Consequence
Present the offering and ask that consequence remain proportionate to the wrongdoing rather than expanding into indiscriminate harm.
For recovery work, I focus the consequence on exposure, loss of advantage, restitution and inability to continue the deception.
Seal the Recovery Key
Place the recovery key on clear quartz.
Wrap it once with the white cord and tie one knot.
Keep this key with the case documents until the matter is resolved.
Close the Ritual
Thank Andromalius and give license to depart from the formal ritual space.
Extinguish the black candle first, followed by red, green and white.
Remove the original key from the water and dry it. Store the ritual objects separately from ordinary evidence or legal documents.
Within twenty-four hours, take the practical step revealed during the Mirror of Evidence phase.
Andromalius for Theft and Missing Property
This is his clearest traditional office. I use the working to identify the route of loss, recover information and create pressure toward return or restitution.
If the matter involves actual theft, use ordinary methods too: preserve records, report the loss where appropriate and document communications. The ritual should sharpen the search, not replace evidence.
Andromalius for Fraud and Hidden Dealings
The manuscript language around “underhand dealings” is one of the reasons I consider Andromalius especially useful for business disputes and dishonest agreements.
The best request is not “destroy this person.” It is “expose what is being concealed, show me where the deception is operating, and remove the advantage created by it.”
Andromalius and Hidden Treasure
Hidden treasure can be literal, but in modern practice it can also mean concealed value: an overlooked asset, missing account, forgotten right, buried opportunity or information that changes the financial picture once found.
I keep that interpretation tied to his traditional office instead of turning “treasure” into generic manifestation language.
Final Thoughts on Andromalius
Andromalius is strongest when the situation has a trail. Something happened. Someone concealed it. Value was moved, withheld or hidden. The magician’s task is to trace that trail until the hidden structure becomes visible.
That is why I treat him as a spirit of restitution and exposure rather than simple revenge.
If you want an Andromalius working performed on your behalf, you can hire me to perform a custom ritual built around theft, deception, recovery, hidden assets or restitution.
