Kedemel appears in the second volume of Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy (1533), with both the name and a sigil being given. MS Harley 6482, published more recently as A Treatise of Angel Magic, from an older document by Thomas Rudd (1583-1656) around 1699 also mentions the spirit. This was in turn copied by John Heydon in his book Theomagia (1663). In the 20th century, Aleister Crowley wrote Liber Gaias XCVI which drew heavily from Theomagia and also featured Kedemel as a venusian spirit.
