Vasariah

The angel whose name means “the just God” — whose office is the keeping of magistrates; mercy in judgement.

Vasariah is the 32nd 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 Vasariah means the just God. The angel’s office is the keeping of magistrates; mercy in judgement.

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 Vasariah holds

The tradition assigns to Vasariah the office of the keeping of magistrates; mercy in judgement. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — keeping of magistrates; mercy in judgement — calls on Vasariah 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 Vasariah when the pattern of keeping of magistrates; mercy in judgement 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 Vasariah is:

“For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his work is done in faithfulness.” Psalm 33:4

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 Vasariah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Vasariah stands against the Goetia spirit Asmoday — the 32nd spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Asmoday’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Vasariah.

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 Vasariah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the countermanded spirit directly.
Recite the psalm verse. Psalm 33:4 is the standing prayer assigned to Vasariah. Read aloud where possible, in the morning hour.
Carry the paired stone. Amethyst is the stone the tradition pairs with Vasariah’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.
