The office Umabel holds

The tradition assigns to Umabel the office of affection, true friendship, the astronomical wisdom of the ancients. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — affection, true friendship, the astronomical wisdom of the ancients — calls on Umabel 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 Umabel when the pattern of affection, true friendship, the astronomical wisdom of the ancients 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 Umabel is:

“Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore!” Psalm 113:2

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 Umabel’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Umabel stands against the Goetia spirit Zagan — the 61st spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Zagan’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Umabel.

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 Umabel by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
3. Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 113:2 is the standing prayer assigned to Umabel. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
4. Carry the paired stone. Carnelian is the stone the tradition pairs with Umabel’s choir, the Archangels. 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.
