Within the sacred pages of the Ars Almadel, we find profound teachings on constructing the Almadel tablet and accessing the celestial realms. This tablet acts as a conduit for invoking the solar angels, who embody divine wisdom and illumination. To embark on this journey, you will first need to create the wax Almadel tablet, which requires specific dimensions and inscriptions. Traditionally, the tablet is crafted from pure beeswax, symbolizing both purity and the alchemical potential within the practitioner.
The construction involves etching symbols and names of the angels associated with each of the Four Altitudes—Chora—into the surface of the wax. Each altitude corresponds to specific angelic choirs and the seasons, providing a structured framework for your ritual.
The First Altitude, representing spring, is graced by angels such as Alimiel, Gabriel, and Barachiel, who bring messages of renewal and growth. The corresponding color for this altitude is yellow or gold, reflecting the vibrant energy of life awakening. In your rituals, use a yellow or gold candle to amplify the resonance of these angels.
Summer aligns with the Second Altitude, where you connect with the fiery aspects of angels like Michael and Samael. Here, the color red embodies passion and strength, drawing forth the transformative power of fire. The Third Altitude reflects autumn and is associated with angels like Uriel and Achaiah, whose energies resonate with the earth’s bounty. The green candle used here symbolizes fertility and abundance.
Lastly, the Fourth Altitude, relating to winter, invites the wisdom of angels such as Phanuel and Kashiel, beings of profound introspection and reflection. For this altitude, a white candle is appropriate, representing purity and the enlightening clarity found in the depths of winter's quiet.
As you prepare for your ritual, remember to incorporate mastic and frankincense, as these resins enhance your connection to the angelic realm. Burn them on a charcoal disc to create sacred space, allowing their fragrances to elevate your intentions. Each angelic choir bestows unique divine wisdom—insights about your path, guidance in decision-making, and clarity in communication with the higher realms. The solar angels of the Almadel are not merely powerful entities; they are benevolent allies, eager to assist you in your spiritual evolution.
This sacred practice will deepen your relationship with the angelic realm while providing insights into your own divine nature. For those ready to deepen this practice, I recommend exploring The Ars Almadel: Mastering the Angelic Choirs, which provides essential guidance for your journey.
