Daniel

Daniel is the 50th of the seventy-two angels of the Shem HaMephorash — the divided Name of God, drawn from the three verses of seventy-two letters each in Exodus 14:19–21. The name Daniel means God judge of humanity. The angel’s office is justice, eloquence in the cause of the just, the advocate's voice.

The office Daniel holds

The tradition assigns to Daniel the office of justice, eloquence in the cause of the just, the advocate's voice. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — justice, eloquence in the cause of the just, the advocate's voice — calls on Daniel 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 Daniel when the pattern of justice, eloquence in the cause of the just, the advocate's voice 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 Daniel is:

“The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.” Psalm 103:8

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 Daniel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Daniel stands against the Goetia spirit Furcas — the 50th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Furcas’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Daniel.

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 Daniel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 103:8 is the standing prayer assigned to Daniel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Emerald is the stone the tradition pairs with Daniel’s choir, the Principalities. 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.
