Seeking Primary Sources: Metatron/Sandalphon Seals in Manuscripts or Grimoires

[Hakon]

Hi everyone,


I’m researching traditional (grimoire-based) seals/sigils for Archangel Metatron and Archangel Sandalphon, and I’d like to ask for help from anyone who has solid references.


I often see modern “Metatron” symbols online (especially the so-called Metatron’s Cube), but I’m specifically looking for older / more traditional material — ideally seals that appear in historical grimoires, manuscripts, or established magical systems (e.g., Solomonic traditions, Heptameron/Trithimius/Agrippa-related material, Jewish magical manuscripts, etc.).


My questions:

1. Are there any recognized traditional seals explicitly attributed to Metatron and/or Sandalphon in older sources?
2. If so, which text/manuscript contains them (title + edition/manuscript reference if possible)?
3. Are there cases where their “seals” are actually names, divine name permutations, letter squares, or angelic signatures rather than a single fixed sigil?
4. If you have images/scans, I’d appreciate them — or at least a clear citation so I can verify.

I’m not looking for modern channeled designs; I’m trying to find something that is as textually grounded and historically traceable as possible.


Thanks in advance for any leads, references, or guidance.

You can find a seal (and DSIC-style invocation) for Metatron in Keys to the Gateway of Magic by Skinner and Rankine. The primary source is Sloane MS 3825, so it's a text from the Renaissance era.

We have it HERE in the library.

Dead Library link but you can easily find it on welib.org

Maybe this will help? In my community, what you're looking for is called Zier Anpin. Original source: the Zohar, parsha Pinchas: [
