Lauviah II

The angel whose name means “the admirable God” — whose office is the lifting of mental anguish, the dispersal of unjust sadness.

Lauviah II is the 17th of the seventy-two angels of the Shem HaMephorash — the divided Name of God, drawn from the three verses of seventy-two letters each in Exodus 14:19–21. The name Lauviah II means the admirable God. The angel’s office is the lifting of mental anguish, the dispersal of unjust sadness.

A note on this material

The seventy-two Shem HaMephorash angels are the angelic counterpart to the seventy-two demons catalogued in the Lesser Key of Solomon. Each Shem angel countermands a specific Goetia spirit. The site presents these as a defensive catalogue: the reader who recognises the pattern of the demon’s office is given the name of the angel who answers it.

The office Lauviah II holds

The tradition assigns to Lauviah II the office of the lifting of mental anguish, the dispersal of unjust sadness. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — lifting of mental anguish, the dispersal of unjust sadness — calls on Lauviah II 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 Lauviah II when the pattern of lifting of mental anguish, the dispersal of unjust sadness 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 Lauviah II is:

“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is thy name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:9

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 Lauviah II’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Lauviah II stands against the Goetia spirit Botis — the 17th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Botis’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Lauviah II.

How the tradition prescribes the call

Name the pattern. Write down, clearly, the specific way you suspect the influence is operating. Vague suspicion gives the influence cover.
Call on Lauviah II by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 8:9 is the standing prayer assigned to Lauviah II. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
Carry the paired stone. Sapphire is the stone the tradition pairs with Lauviah II’s choir, the Thrones. Worn near the throat or carried in the pocket for the duration.
Repeat for forty days. The tradition is consistent on this duration — long enough to break a settled pattern.
