The office Mehiel holds

The tradition assigns to Mehiel the office of protection against rage, wild beasts, the consuming fire. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — protection against rage, wild beasts, the consuming fire — calls on Mehiel 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 Mehiel when the pattern of protection against rage, wild beasts, the consuming fire 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 Mehiel is:

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love.” Psalm 33:18

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 Mehiel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Mehiel stands against the Goetia spirit Haures — the 64th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Haures’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Mehiel.

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 Mehiel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 33:18 is the standing prayer assigned to Mehiel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Carnelian is the stone the tradition pairs with Mehiel’s choir, the Archangels. 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.
