The office Nith-Haiah holds

The tradition assigns to Nith-Haiah the office of wisdom in the secret arts; discernment in matters hidden. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — wisdom in the secret arts; discernment in matters hidden — calls on Nith-Haiah 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 Nith-Haiah when the pattern of wisdom in the secret arts; discernment in matters hidden 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 Nith-Haiah is:

“I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy wonderful deeds.” Psalm 9:1

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 Nith-Haiah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Nith-Haiah stands against the Goetia spirit Glasya-Labolas — the 25th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Glasya-Labolas’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Nith-Haiah.

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 Nith-Haiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 9:1 is the standing prayer assigned to Nith-Haiah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Amethyst is the stone the tradition pairs with Nith-Haiah’s choir, the Dominions. 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.
