Andrealphus
Variations: Androalphus
In Johann Wierus’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (False Monarchy of Demons, 1583), Andrealphus is listed as a marquis who commands
thirty legions. A FALLEN ANGEL and lesser
demon, he is also listed among the seventy-two

Andrealphus will appear before his summoner as
a peacock with an overly large beak, but, at his
summoner’s request, will assume the shape of a
man. He is known for teaching astronomy, geometry, mathematics, and all sciences that involve
measurements. Andrealphus also has the power
to turn a man into a bird.

summoned for his ability to find hidden treasures,
return stolen items, and for uncovering underhanded dealings.

commands four hundred servitors, Andros can
appear to his summoner in any number of forms
but commonly appears as a dragon with a virgin’s
head. Both diurnal and nocturnal, he is good-natured and willing to obey those who summon him.

Angel of Edom
Variations: The angel of Rome, essentially another name for SATAN
The angel of Edom seeks to be “like the most
high” and ascend into heaven to assume the very
throne of God. The angel of Edom is the very
same angel that Jacob saw in his dream ascending
a ladder into the sky where he will almost reach
Heaven, but God will cast him down. Each angel
seen in the dream is a symbolic representation of
a country that has come into power and eventually
fallen. The four angels were Babylon, Persia,
Greece, and Rome. According to legend, the
angel of Edom will be destroyed when grabbed
by the hair and slain by the prophet Elijah, spraying his blood upon the garments of the Lord.
