The office Aniel holds

The tradition assigns to Aniel the office of the granting of victory; the warding of empire from collapse. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — granting of victory; the warding of empire from collapse — calls on Aniel 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 Aniel when the pattern of granting of victory; the warding of empire from collapse 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 Aniel is:

“Restore us, O God; let thy face shine, that we may be saved!” Psalm 80:3

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 Aniel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Aniel stands against the Goetia spirit Phenex — the 37th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Phenex’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Aniel.

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 Aniel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 80:3 is the standing prayer assigned to Aniel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Ruby is the stone the tradition pairs with Aniel’s choir, the Powers. 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.
