Discussion The 72 Angels of The Shem HaMephorash, AKA The Shem Angels: A Layman’s Intro

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

A group of angels often gets mentioned here that may not be familiar to everybody, often referred to as the Shem Angels. This post should hopefully serve as a sensible overview for those in passing who find themselves curious!

There are 72 primary guardian angels that serve as guides to human beings. Each one of them not only embodies an aspect of the divine Source: they each carry a fragment of what’s known as the Shem HaMephorash.

In Kabbalistic lore, the Shem HaMephorash, or “the explicit name”, is a hidden, powerful, and sacred name of God, composed of 72 three-letter segments. It is a name highly important to the Sefer Raziel HaMalakh, and is derived from Exodus 14:19–21, read boustrophedonically to yield each three letter name. The Shem HaMephorash is said to have been invoked by Moses to part the Red Sea, to perform works considered miracles, and to animate the legendary golems.

From these names are derived the 72 angelic princes that, by some quite elaborate calculations of occult scholars like Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, rule over the 36 Decanates of the Zodiac. Western esoteric traditions surmise these to be the angels Jacob witnessed ascending and descending ladders to heaven, symbolic of the ascendant-descendant astrological cycles.

These angels, their qualities, rituals, and associated correspondences, are named most extensively in Ambelain’s “La Kabbale Practique”, specifically Volume II. This, I believe, is where most of the commonly passed around knowledge about them comes from. Parts I and II of La Kabbalah Practique can be found here.

This is a rough and hopefully concise overview. You’ll see many users here communing, praying to, and working in practical matters with these angels, myself included. Questions and experiences with these angels are quite welcome and always looked forward to around here!

Help with approaching magick

4 Upvotes

Hey all. I would like somehelp from people who have been in my situation. I understand rituals and beliefs and the psychology and history behind various rituals. However i really struggle in putting it into practice. Eg lets say i have a ritual tomorrow, i will put the right tools on the altar and know what to visualise, but it just doesnt feel right and i can tell the magick is powerless purely by the way i feel, and if i feel like that consciously then imagine how bad my subconscious must be. I will be performing some rituals in a few weeks that are really important to me and i dont know what to do from now that will help me have the mental power and conviction needed to successfully perform these rituals. Will the lbrp help? Any meditations or techniques that have worked for you? I really dont know how to get over these inner blockages. I tried to connect to archangel tzadkiel today to transmute this doubt and weakness into confidence but even whilst doing that it felt weak. I think i struggle getting into gnosis and how to approach magick as a whole, especially with spirits/angels i feel as though i cant connect to them and it all feels odd. Any tips would be really appreciated!

I think I contacted an angel. Anyone who knows more, please comment. 🙏✨

11 Upvotes

Hello. I only started learning about angels two days ago. I don’t know exactly how to ask for their help or how to communicate with them.

Before going to sleep, I mentioned the names of two or three angels and called out to all the other angels, saying, “I feel like I’ve lost my way. Please guide me so that I can be peaceful and happy, and guide me both financially and spiritually.”

I closed my eyes to fall asleep, and while I was between sleep and wakefulness, a woman said something to me like, “You have to improve yourself.”

I don’t know whether it was a dream or an angel. Could you please interpret this for me?

Also, I have no idea how to call upon angels or what they look like.

Thank you in advance.

Question About Angels Does Anyone Work With The Watchers?

20 Upvotes

I've been reading 1 Enoch and I have started to feel a strong pull towards the watchers. I'm not sure if I'm interested in regular angels but I thought this sub would be the best place to look for advice because fallen angels are technically still angels right? Does anyone know if there's any information out there or if it's even possible to work with or worship the Watchers or is this uncharted territory? Thanks

You who believe in soul and reincarnation - what kind of beliefs you have about the origin of humans and souls?

7 Upvotes

Science says that humans were first some sort of ape-like animals among many other ape species.

If this is true where do all this "souls/journey of souls/reincarnation" stuff come in? I mean, did those ape animals have souls and go through reincarnation (do animals in general have souls?)? Or did the "journey of souls" begin only after apes had already turned out to be more like the humans we are today?

Or do you think against science? Do you think that humans are a whole different species that did not evolve from apes but was created by something/someone to go through the journey of souls?

I think this is something no one can really know but I would like to hear about your beliefs and thoughts.

Mercury and venus retrograde

Hey all, is angel magick best to perform during or after these retrogrades? I know it depends on what my goal is, say better mental health and just relationship stuff and reconciliation. If i want stable and long term results is it best to wait after? Or is this energy good to use. Thanks!

Experience Positive Experiences?

7 Upvotes

Okay, so without getting too much into it, I've been feeling quite down lately due to societal pressures, financial burdens, family, etc.

I tried to seek some answers from folks who said they worked with angels. I asked them questions such as "Do angels judge you for crying?"Do they understand your pain or burdens?"Can they be there as a comforting presence of hope and mercy?"

And quite honestly, the answers kind of disappointed me. I know everyone's perspective and experience are different, but all the answers were things such as "Angels don't like it when you cry and play victim."I work with Micheal, and he will be highly disappointed and demand you get rid of any type of mental burdens before working with him." One lady even claimed angels do not like working with women in general because they cry too much and are sensitive, and angels could not care less about understanding our feelings because they don't matter.

So I wanted to ask, have any of you had positive experiences or comforts that made you smile or realize someone out there truly loved you? Not just miracles, but small comforts like a fuzzy feeling when sad. Or perhaps an angel told you something you still hold close? I would love if you could share it.

Do angels appear in dreams as women? Sometimes after invocations, I do receive messages in dreams from women.

Best angel for reconciliation

8 Upvotes

Hi all, in your experience, which angel is best for the reconciliation of a couple: yezelel, yeliel or haziel? Each has qualities im looking for but not sure. For context, the breakup was mainly due to mental health of one person, but also loss of passion and attraction due to that. Not sure as well if there is any sort of grudge or resentment. But which angel in your opinion would be best for a healthy reconciliation with good communication, and return of passion/chemistry/attraction

Experience Thank you amazing Zuriel

9 Upvotes

The amazing Zuriel - angel of pleasure really lives upto his name! You kind of feel it in your gut that it was him who made certain joyful pleasurable experiences in your life possible not long after you call upon him. This has been my experience.
He may take a week or two or three but he does show up!
I call upon him as I do any other angel - recite his name a couple of times, feeling each syllable, and how it feels to pronounce each part. And then I let go of it. And sure enough, a few days or weeks later there’s a manifestation of an unusual and enjoyable event. I’m convinced it’s him doing his thing. Thanks Zuriel! Much appreciated.

Question About Angels how to contact an angel

17 Upvotes

first of all, is there a difference between a regular angel and an archangel (in terms of behavior but also generally)? I really wanna contact a regular angel just because it inspires me better than the archangel figure. I heard angel helps for obtaining goals or just for guidance/healing. If there’s also a specific kind and gentle invite (and also prayer), i just know i have to be kind.

Also, i’ve been trying to research on how to contact an angel, but it only shows how to contact a guardian angel, so my question is, what’s the difference between them? and if i contact a regular angel, will it become my guardian angel?

Question About Angels Our own angels or New Angels

2 Upvotes

Hello guys . I am reading about different angels and their power and what they represent. Rather than thinking angels are some kind spiritual being, they are representations of certain concepts or ideas and their spiritual representation . For example Arch angel Raphel representation of healing , Lilith representation of fertility etc .

That's why thor (norse) , Zeus ( greek ) , indira ( hindu ) etc represent same type of god / deity although they have different name and personality and different status in their respected culture/ religion. You can invoke any of them but they work nearly same .

Same goes with sun god Ra ( egypt), Surya Dev (hindu ) , helios ( greek ) ,Amaterasu (Japan) etc.

My theory is we can invoke new angel based on our intentions or goal .

I know it can be dangerous we can invoke something that we should not but experience people should try it . Because I am beginner i don't have much experience to try .

Angels Can an angel feel emotions?

7 Upvotes

I'm part of a community where a lot of people say that angels can feel emotions just like we do. Is that true? Is it possible for an angel to experience things like anxiety, fear of being forgotten, or fear of losing a connection or communication with a human?

I know it might sound like a silly question, but could someone please answer it?

She told me that my guardian angel was over worked and under paid, then she said I need to by her a drink.

not sure if your a drinker or not. Do angles even drink?

It’s true! I must have some kind of special energy that draws something out of other people. It’s like they thrive on seeing me fail, become angry or make poor choices.

all the while this poor angel is just WAM BAM WAP the awful away and makes it so my life isn’t completely destroyed.

some day when I die I’ll try and sneak you something into heaven. Promise!!!

If you’re real and it is even a little true at all. From the bottom of my heart thank you your the only reason I made it this far. I’ll work harder at being a better version of myself. For the two of us.
