The office Ierathel holds

The tradition assigns to Ierathel the office of the spread of light and learning where ignorance has reigned. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — spread of light and learning where ignorance has reigned — calls on Ierathel 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 Ierathel when the pattern of spread of light and learning where ignorance has reigned 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 Ierathel is:

“Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men.” Psalm 140:1

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 Ierathel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Ierathel stands against the Goetia spirit Ronove — the 27th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Ronove’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Ierathel.

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 Ierathel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 140:1 is the standing prayer assigned to Ierathel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Amethyst is the stone the tradition pairs with Ierathel’s choir, the Dominions. 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.
