Mihael

Mihael is the 48th 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 Mihael means God father who succours. The angel’s office is conjugal fidelity and the harmony of the marriage bed.

The office Mihael holds

The tradition assigns to Mihael the office of conjugal fidelity and the harmony of the marriage bed. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — conjugal fidelity and the harmony of the marriage bed — calls on Mihael 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 Mihael when the pattern of conjugal fidelity and the harmony of the marriage bed 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 Mihael is:

“The Lord has made known his victory; he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.” Psalm 98:2

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 Mihael’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Mihael stands against the Goetia spirit Haagenti — the 48th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Haagenti’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Mihael.

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 Mihael by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 98:2 is the standing prayer assigned to Mihael. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Topaz is the stone the tradition pairs with Mihael’s choir, the Virtues. 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.
