Manakel is the 66th 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 Manakel means God who supports. The angel’s office is the knowledge of good and evil; the keeping of sleep and the granting of dreams.

The office Manakel holds

The tradition assigns to Manakel the office of the knowledge of good and evil; the keeping of sleep and the granting of dreams. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — knowledge of good and evil; the keeping of sleep and the granting of dreams — calls on Manakel 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 Manakel when the pattern of knowledge of good and evil; the keeping of sleep and the granting of dreams 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 Manakel is:

“Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me!” Psalm 38:21

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 Manakel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Manakel stands against the Goetia spirit Kimaris — the 66th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Kimaris’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Manakel.

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 Manakel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 38:21 is the standing prayer assigned to Manakel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Moonstone is the stone the tradition pairs with Manakel’s choir, the Angels. 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.
