The office Reiyel holds

The tradition assigns to Reiyel the office of liberation from enemies, visible and invisible; the religious sentiment. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — liberation from enemies, visible and invisible; the religious sentiment — calls on Reiyel 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 Reiyel when the pattern of liberation from enemies, visible and invisible; the religious sentiment 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 Reiyel is:

“Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.” Psalm 54:4

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 Reiyel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Reiyel stands against the Goetia spirit Astaroth — the 29th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Astaroth’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Reiyel.

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 Reiyel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 54:4 is the standing prayer assigned to Reiyel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Amethyst is the stone the tradition pairs with Reiyel’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.
