==History==
The Seal of Solomon is a meteorite crystal which was used by [[King Solomon]]'s priests, who were commanded by King Solomon to "bind his seal" with a jewel from the cosmos. The seal was stored with Solomon's treasure where it would stay hidden until it was found in what is known as modern-day Israel by the [[Men of Letters]] in 1917. The seal was then taken to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where it was stored in a chapterhouse known as Capitulum 7.
==Episodes==
In 2018, Yokoth is unintentionally released by [[Sam]] and [[Dean Winchester]] who came to recover the Seal of Solomon. After feeding, Yokoth takes Dean back the chapterhouse, where she plans to open another rift for her mate Glythur to come through and use Dean as his vessel. As Glythur's tentacles breach the rift, Dean is able to avoid being possessed. Freeing himself, he takes the Seal of Solomon from Yokoth and tosses it to [[Ophelia]] who uses it to seal the rift, sending Glythur back to his universe, dragging Yokoth with him.
The seal is then given to the Winchesters by Ophelia and [[Marco]]who explain how to open the desired rift for 24 hours. Back at the [[Men of Letters Bunker]], Dean gathers the ingredients for the rift-opening spell. Using the seal he , Sam is able to open a [[Portal|doorway]] to [[Apocalypse World]] in the Bunker library for 24 hours and Dean enters alongside [[Ketch]] to try and retrieve [[Mary]] and [[Jack]]. ===[[13.21 Beat the Devil]]===The Seal of Solomon can be seen on the desk when [[Rowena]] prepares to open the rift, although she doesn't use it, instead channeling the spell through her hands. ===[[13.22 Exodus]]===When forming an alliance with [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]], [[Lucifer]] states that he knows how the spell works and references the Seal, though he calls it a "glowy rock."
==Trivia==
* The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_of_Solomon Seal of Solomon] is known as a magical signet ring that was engraved by God and given to King Solomon. It gave him the ability to control demons and djinn as well as communicate with animals.
* The lack of usage of the Seal in subsequent uses of the spell suggests that its role is simply to channel the spell to open the rift. With a more experienced witch like Rowena, she can channel it through her hands instead. Sam also doesn't use it in [[15.13 Destiny's Child]] when rescuing [[Sam and Dean Winchester (HunterCorp)|alternate doubles]] trapped between worlds despite the spell being the same aside from the use of [[Castiel]]'s [[grace]] in place of [[archangel]] grace.
