The office Hekamiah holds

The tradition assigns to Hekamiah the office of loyalty in the company of the powerful; the unmasking of the treasonous. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — loyalty in the company of the powerful; the unmasking of the treasonous — calls on Hekamiah 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 Hekamiah when the pattern of loyalty in the company of the powerful; the unmasking of the treasonous 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 Hekamiah is:

“O Lord, my God, I call for help by day; I cry out in the night before thee.” Psalm 88:1

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 Hekamiah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Hekamiah stands against the Goetia spirit Zepar — the 16th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Zepar’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Hekamiah.

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 Hekamiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 88:1 is the standing prayer assigned to Hekamiah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Lapis Lazuli is the stone the tradition pairs with Hekamiah’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.
