The office Nithael holds

The tradition assigns to Nithael the office of the stability of empires; the keeping of gracious sovereigns. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — stability of empires; the keeping of gracious sovereigns — calls on Nithael 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 Nithael when the pattern of stability of empires; the keeping of gracious sovereigns 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 Nithael is:

“The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.” Psalm 103:19

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 Nithael’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Nithael stands against the Goetia spirit Murmur — the 54th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Murmur’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Nithael.

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 Nithael by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 103:19 is the standing prayer assigned to Nithael. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Emerald is the stone the tradition pairs with Nithael’s choir, the Principalities. 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.
