Hagonel, Prince Of Monday In The Heptarchia

Hagonel is the prince paired with King Carmara in John Dee's De Heptarchia Mystica, one of the seven king and prince pairs recorded from the angelic sessions Dee held with the scryer Edward Kelley across 1582 and 1583 and preserved today as Sloane MS 3191. Hagonel shares Carmara's assignment to Monday and, by the system's day and planet correspondence, to the Moon.

In the Heptarchia's structure, each day's prince serves under its king rather than ruling independently: the pairing is not a partnership of equals but a fixed subordination recorded consistently across all seven days. This is a separate stratum of Dee's angelic material from the forty eight Calls that Casaubon printed in 1659 or the ninety one Governors of the thirty Aethyrs that most twentieth century Enochian practice draws on. Those later systems organize the angelic hierarchy by elemental Watchtower and aethyric grade; the Heptarchia organizes it by the week and its planetary rulers instead.

The manuscript describes Hagonel appearing together with a large retinue of attendant ministers, identified in the text by their position at the working table rather than by individual name, a level of retinue detail the text does not record for every prince.
