Vehuiah

The angel whose name means “God exalted above all” — whose office is the breakthrough at the impasse, the initiative the moment requires.

Vehuiah is the 1st 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 Vehuiah means God exalted above all. The angel’s office is the breakthrough at the impasse, the initiative the moment requires.

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 Vehuiah holds

The tradition assigns to Vehuiah the office of the breakthrough at the impasse, the initiative the moment requires. The reader who has seen the corresponding pattern in modern life — breakthrough at the impasse, the initiative the moment requires — calls on Vehuiah 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 Vehuiah when the pattern of breakthrough at the impasse, the initiative the moment requires 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 Vehuiah is:

“But thou, O Lord, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.” Psalm 3:3

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 Vehuiah’s office.

The Goetia pair

In the countermanding tradition, Vehuiah stands against the Goetia spirit Bael — the 1st spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Where Bael’s recorded domain has touched a reader’s life, the answer the tradition prescribes is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is Vehuiah.

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