The office Menadel holds

The tradition assigns to Menadel the office of perseverance in work; the keeping of employment in hard seasons. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — perseverance in work; the keeping of employment in hard seasons — calls on Menadel 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 Menadel when the pattern of perseverance in work; the keeping of employment in hard seasons 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 Menadel is:

“O Lord, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwells.” Psalm 26:8

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 Menadel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Menadel stands against the Goetia spirit Stolas — the 36th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Stolas’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Menadel.

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 Menadel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 26:8 is the standing prayer assigned to Menadel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Ruby is the stone the tradition pairs with Menadel’s choir, the Powers. 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.
