The office Haziel holds

The tradition assigns to Haziel the office of the obtaining of God's forgiveness; sincere friendship. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — obtaining of God's forgiveness; sincere friendship — calls on Haziel 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 Haziel when the pattern of obtaining of God's forgiveness; sincere friendship 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 Haziel is:

“Be mindful of thy mercy, O Lord, and of thy steadfast love, for they have been from of old.” Psalm 25:6

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 Haziel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Haziel stands against the Goetia spirit Paimon — the 9th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Paimon’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Haziel.

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 Haziel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 25:6 is the standing prayer assigned to Haziel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Lapis Lazuli is the stone the tradition pairs with Haziel’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.
