The office Hahaiah holds

The tradition assigns to Hahaiah the office of the keeping of sleep and the granting of dreams of warning. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — keeping of sleep and the granting of dreams of warning — calls on Hahaiah 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 Hahaiah when the pattern of keeping of sleep and the granting of dreams of warning 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 Hahaiah is:

“Why dost thou stand afar off, O Lord? Why dost thou hide thyself in times of trouble?” Psalm 10:1

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 Hahaiah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Hahaiah stands against the Goetia spirit Sitri — the 12th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Sitri’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Hahaiah.

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 Hahaiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 10:1 is the standing prayer assigned to Hahaiah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Lapis Lazuli is the stone the tradition pairs with Hahaiah’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.
