The office Nemamiah holds

The tradition assigns to Nemamiah the office of the keeping of generals and great captains; the cause of the just war. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — keeping of generals and great captains; the cause of the just war — calls on Nemamiah 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 Nemamiah when the pattern of keeping of generals and great captains; the cause of the just war 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 Nemamiah is:

“You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield.” Psalm 115:11

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 Nemamiah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Nemamiah stands against the Goetia spirit Ose — the 57th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Ose’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Nemamiah.

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 Nemamiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 115:11 is the standing prayer assigned to Nemamiah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Carnelian is the stone the tradition pairs with Nemamiah’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.
