The office Aladiah holds

The tradition assigns to Aladiah the office of recovery from sickness; divine grace at the threshold of despair. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — recovery from sickness; divine grace at the threshold of despair — calls on Aladiah by name. The call is not a request for spectacular intervention. The call is the older grammar’s way of placing the matter in the keeping of the angel whose office it is.

Call on Aladiah when the pattern of recovery from sickness; divine grace at the threshold of despair has touched your life and the natural remedies have not been sufficient.

The psalm verse

Each of the seventy-two Shem angels is paired with a psalm verse the tradition assigns as the angel’s standing prayer. The verse for Aladiah is:

“Let thy steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.” Psalm 33:22

The verse is the standing call. Speak it, or write it, or hold it silently — it is the form the tradition gives for placing the matter under Aladiah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Aladiah stands against the Goetia spirit Buer — the 10th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Buer’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Aladiah.

How the tradition prescribes the call

1. Name the pattern. Write down, clearly, the specific way you suspect the influence is operating. Vague suspicion gives the influence cover.
2. Call on Aladiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 33:22 is the standing prayer assigned to Aladiah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Lapis Lazuli is the stone the tradition pairs with Aladiah’s choir, the Cherubim. Worn near the throat or carried in the pocket for the duration.
5. Repeat for forty days. The tradition is consistent on this duration — long enough to break a settled pattern.
