The office Mahasiah holds

The tradition assigns to Mahasiah the office of peace with others, and the rectification of errors before they harden. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — peace with others, and the rectification of errors before they harden — calls on Mahasiah 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 Mahasiah when the pattern of peace with others, and the rectification of errors before they harden 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 Mahasiah is:

“I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4

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 Mahasiah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Mahasiah stands against the Goetia spirit Marbas — the 5th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Marbas’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Mahasiah.

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 Mahasiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 34:4 is the standing prayer assigned to Mahasiah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Clear Quartz is the stone the tradition pairs with Mahasiah’s choir, the Seraphim. 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.
