The office Leuviah holds

The tradition assigns to Leuviah the office of the keeping of memory and the granting of intelligence. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — keeping of memory and the granting of intelligence — calls on Leuviah 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 Leuviah when the pattern of keeping of memory and the granting of intelligence 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 Leuviah is:

“I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.” Psalm 40:1

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 Leuviah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Leuviah stands against the Goetia spirit Sallos — the 19th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Sallos’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Leuviah.

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 Leuviah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 40:1 is the standing prayer assigned to Leuviah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Sapphire is the stone the tradition pairs with Leuviah’s choir, the Thrones. 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.
