From the Goetia:
“…appearing at first in the form of a Peacock, with great Noises. But after a time he putteth on Human shape. He can teach Geometry perfectly. He maketh Men very subtle there-in; and in all Things pertaining unto Mensuration or Astronomy. He can transform a Man into the Likeness of a Bird.”
Andrealphus is a quietly useful spirit: geometrical, saturnine, and practical. He shows up in the Goetia first as a peacock, then as a man, and his strengths are precise — geometry, mensuration, and bringing things to a proper close. If you need a tidy ending, a sealed ritual, or help turning ideas into material form, Andrealphus is an ally worth learning.
Andrealphus is particularly useful for:
Contemporary practitioners emphasise his Saturnian practicality: quiet, methodical and best used with discipline. Offerings connected to birds suit him — seeds, feathers, or (ideally) peacock feathers if you have access to them. Seeds are a safe, low-drama offering that honours the avian correspondence without theatrical excess.
Symbolism:
Andrealphus is not dramatic; he is methodical. Approach him with clear petitions and measurable aims (what are you sealing? which portal do you want closed?). He’s helpful for mediumistic problems, but learning to close portals yourself — with his guidance — is often the long-term solution. If you plan offerings, keep them simple and avian-focused (seeds/feathers), and don’t expect flashy miracles: his work is slow, precise and enduring.
If your practice needs neat endings, stronger craft skills, or help stabilising a newly opening mediumship, Andrealphus is a practical, reliable spirit. He won’t dazzle you with theatrics, but he will teach the measures, protections and closing rites that make magical work sustainable and durable.
