The office Lecabel holds

The tradition assigns to Lecabel the office of the granting of useful inventions; success in agriculture. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — granting of useful inventions; success in agriculture — calls on Lecabel 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 Lecabel when the pattern of granting of useful inventions; success in agriculture 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 Lecabel is:

“I will come praising the mighty deeds of the Lord God, I will praise thy righteousness, thine alone.” Psalm 71:16

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 Lecabel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Lecabel stands against the Goetia spirit Foras — the 31st spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Foras’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Lecabel.

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 Lecabel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 71:16 is the standing prayer assigned to Lecabel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Amethyst is the stone the tradition pairs with Lecabel’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.
