Dardariel is the governing angel of the eleventh hour of the night in the Ars Paulina, the third book of the seventeenth-century magical compendium known as the Lemegeton or Lesser Key of Solomon.
The eleventh nocturnal hour in the Ars Paulina
In the Ars Paulina‘s catalogue of nocturnal hours, the eleventh hour is named Aalacho, with Dardariel designated as its ruling angel. The text notes that Dardariel possesses many dukes and servants, from which it specifically enumerates fourteen chief dukes and seven lesser dukes, with 420 servants attending that selected group. Representative names in this selected list include Dameriel (sixth among the chief dukes) and Elamyz (fourth among the lesser dukes, eighteenth overall). The grimoire characterizes these spirits as good entities that obey divine laws, presenting them as celestial ministers rather than providing individual narrative biographies.
Context in hourly angelology
This structured hierarchy follows the typical pattern of the Ars Paulina, where each planetary hour of the day and night is assigned a distinct governing prince, an orderly angelic retinue, and specific sigils for ritual petition.
