King Solomon is famous for his ability to summon and bind demons. Legends abound that he even wielded such demonic power in the construction of the famed Temple in Jerusalem. However, there also exists a minor tradition that Solomon left behind another tool by which to summon Angels - the Almandel. This object is a small, portable altar often made in wax whereby various Zodiacal angels or spirits are summoned and communed with. In this episode I discuss the Almandel, known in a dozen or so medieval manuscripts and ranging in both complexity, construction and use - it would even directly influence the Enochian sessions of John Dee and Edward Kelly!
