The office Harahel holds

The tradition assigns to Harahel the office of wealth in business; the keeping of books, archives, libraries. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — wealth in business; the keeping of books, archives, libraries — calls on Harahel 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 Harahel when the pattern of wealth in business; the keeping of books, archives, libraries 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 Harahel is:

“From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised!” Psalm 113:3

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 Harahel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Harahel stands against the Goetia spirit Oriax — the 59th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Oriax’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Harahel.

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 Harahel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 113:3 is the standing prayer assigned to Harahel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Carnelian is the stone the tradition pairs with Harahel’s choir, the Archangels. 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.
