Seheiah

The angel whose name means “God who heals the sick” — whose office is long life; healing in the chronic illness.

Seheiah is the 28th 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 Seheiah means God who heals the sick. The angel’s office is long life; healing in the chronic illness.

A note on this material

The seventy-two Shem HaMephorash angels are the angelic counterpart to the seventy-two demons catalogued in the Lesser Key of Solomon. Each Shem angel countermands a specific Goetia spirit. The site presents these as a defensive catalogue: the reader who recognises the pattern of the demon’s office is given the name of the angel who answers it.

The office Seheiah holds

The tradition assigns to Seheiah the office of long life; healing in the chronic illness. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — long life; healing in the chronic illness — calls on Seheiah 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 Seheiah when the pattern of long life; healing in the chronic illness 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 Seheiah is:

“My mouth is filled with thy praise, and with thy glory all the day.” Psalm 71:8

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 Seheiah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Seheiah stands against the Goetia spirit Berith — the 28th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Berith’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Seheiah.

How the tradition prescribes the call

Name the pattern. Write down, clearly, the specific way you suspect the influence is operating. Vague suspicion gives the influence cover.
Call on Seheiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 71:8 is the standing prayer assigned to Seheiah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
Carry the paired stone. Amethyst is the stone the tradition pairs with Seheiah’s choir, the Dominions. Worn near the throat or carried in the pocket for the duration.
Repeat for forty days. The tradition is consistent on this duration — long enough to break a settled pattern.
