Kabbalistic angel

The Kabbalistic angels, also known as

the Angels of the Shem HaMephorash,
are 72 celestial spirits whose names are
derived from the 72-fold name of the
Hebrew god as found in the Book of
Exodus.

They are closely connected to the 72

Goetic demons, which they rule over.
Overview
It is an old kabbalistic doctrine that all
the universe is permeated with the
virtues and power of the Divine Names,
which represent the various attributes of
the Infinite Being. These Names are like
openings in the abyss, through which we
attain an uplifting of our limited faculties.

The supreme expansion of the Divine

Name is called Shem HaMephorash,
being the word expounded in its fullness.
The names of the 72 Angels of the
Kabbalah connect with the power of the
Divine Name as their names are devised
from His through a series of
mathematical and alphabetical
permutations exercised by the ancient
kabbalists.

Later Christian authors added to the lore

of the Kabbalistic angels by incorporating
Greek, Egyptian, and Persian concepts
into their philosophies. In his 1623 work,
Meteorologica Cosmica, occultist Robert
Fludd established that specific
archangels rule over each choir of
angels.
The 72 names

Chart showing the names of the 72 Kabbalistic

Angels in Hebrew and English.

All the letters comprising the 72-fold

name (and thus the names of the 72
Angels) are derived from the Book of
Exodus, chapter 14, verses 19 - 21. Each
of the three verses contains exactly 72
letters, and when one letter is taken from
each verse in the kabbalistic pattern, they
form 72 three-letter names that are
unique to each Angel. The verses tell the
story of the Angel of God, who protected
the fleeing Israelites from the army of the
Pharaoh. It was Moses who spoke the
72-fold name aloud and caused God to
part the Red Sea.

Exodus verse

Exodus 14 19 And the angel of

God, which went before the
camp of Israel, removed and
went behind them; and the
pillar of the cloud went from
before their face, and stood
behind them:

20 And it came between the

camp of the Egyptians and the
camp of Israel; and it was a
cloud and darkness to them,
but it gave light by night to
these: so that the one came not
near the other all the night.

21 And Moses stretched out his

hand over the sea; and the
Lord caused the sea to go back
 by a strong east wind all that
night, and made the sea dry
land, and the waters were
divided.

Creating the 72 names

Take the three verses beginning vayisa,
vayabo, and vayet, and write them out
one by one in a vertical column from right
to left such that the letters of each word
follow in one from another from top to
bottom. Then take the first letter of the
first verse, which is called Vav (V); next
working the other way take the last letter
of the second verse, hay (H) and lastly go
to the beginning of the third verse which
you will find is Vav again.

When you link up these three letters in

this order the first angel's mnemonic V-H-
V is obtained, the second angel is Y-H-Y,
and the third is S-Y-T.

Astrology of the angels

The ruling dates of the angels were
originally derived from the 10 day periods
ruled over by the 36 Egyptian decans. By
splitting each week in the Egyptian
calendar in half, the 360 day year was
divided into 72 sections, with one angel
ruling over each five day period. Because
the Egyptian calendar consisted of 36
weeks of 10 days each, there were five
days left over. These five days originally
had their own decan, #37 (Shetwy, the
Two Tortoises), who was responsible for
ruling over the Epagomenal days.

When the Greek scholars incorporated

the Egyptian system into their own, they
grouped the decanal gods with the spirits
of the air. Later Christian scholars
interpreted these in two different ways:
either as angels or daimons (incorrectly
conflating the Greek term for a minor god
as a demon). Eventually, by the Medieval
Period, the textual mistranslations and
conflations were forgotten and the entire
system was interpreted with a Christian
worldview by European occultists
attempting to reconcile Kabbalistic
mystic texts with astrology and alchemy.

This explains why, in the older texts

showing the astrological
correspondences of the Kabbalistic
angels, there are five days missing from
the calendar. Modern authors, ignorant of
the ancient history of these entities, often
adjust the dates the angels rule over to
cover the entire Gregorian calendar,
despite the system pre-dating the
creation of the Gregorian calendar by
thousands of years.

Author A.E. Waite stated in The Book of

Black Magic and of Pacts:
"It should be understood that
people who are born between
the days March 14 - March 20,
or on the 29th of February
during a leap year, will have
the three Angels belonging to
their birth hour as guardians
of the three parts of their
personality."
