The office Sitael holds

The tradition assigns to Sitael the office of protection against adversity, against accident and disaster. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — protection against adversity, against accident and disaster — calls on Sitael 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 Sitael when the pattern of protection against adversity, against accident and disaster 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 Sitael is:

“I will say to the Lord, My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:2

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 Sitael’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Sitael stands against the Goetia spirit Vassago — the 3rd spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Vassago’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Sitael.

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 Sitael by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 91:2 is the standing prayer assigned to Sitael. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Clear Quartz is the stone the tradition pairs with Sitael’s choir, the Seraphim. 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.
