The office Lauviah holds

The tradition assigns to Lauviah the office of victory, the granting of fame, the lifting of the just. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — victory, the granting of fame, the lifting of the just — calls on Lauviah 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 when the pattern of victory, the granting of fame, the lifting of the just 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 is:

“The Lord lives; and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation.” Psalm 18:46

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’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Lauviah stands against the Goetia spirit Gusion — the 11th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Gusion’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Lauviah.

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 Lauviah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 18:46 is the standing prayer assigned to Lauviah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Lapis Lazuli is the stone the tradition pairs with Lauviah’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.
