The office Hariel holds

The tradition assigns to Hariel the office of pure feeling, fidelity in the sciences and the arts. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — pure feeling, fidelity in the sciences and the arts — calls on Hariel 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 Hariel when the pattern of pure feeling, fidelity in the sciences and the arts 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 Hariel is:

“But the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.” Psalm 94:22

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 Hariel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Hariel stands against the Goetia spirit Eligos — the 15th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Eligos’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Hariel.

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 Hariel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 94:22 is the standing prayer assigned to Hariel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Lapis Lazuli is the stone the tradition pairs with Hariel’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.
