SHEM ANGELS, GENII, AND NAP

Sunday, January 3, 2016

Lately I realized the connection between the 72 angels of the Shemhamphorasch and the 72 Mercury
Genii featured in ‘The Practice of Magical Evocation’ by Franz Bardon, because I have known for awhile
now that many of the spirits in the book, ‘The Miracle of New Avatar Power’ by Geof Gray-Cobb (NAP)
also feature these angels, and so I wanted to learn more about them and their origin.

In ‘The Practice of Magical Evocation’ Franz Bardon states:

"Many Kabbalists mistakenly consider the 72 genii of the Mercurian sphere as the
Shemhamphorasch, which is the unspeakable name of God, as expressed through the four
syllable-letters, YOD-HEH-VAU-HEH, the well known Tetragrammaton or Adonai.

True initiates and Kabbalists are well aware of the fact that nomenclatures which also have
numbers affixed to them are numerical keys which refer to the proper use of the methods and
directions given."

However, the 72 names given for the genii of the Mercurian sphere *are* the same as the
Shemhamphorasch, yet with some nuances and tweaks in spelling. Most seem to appear verbatim as
to how their names were originally listed in the Shem. With NAP, the spelling is often different too, yet
you can still tell that they are Shem angels, because it would appear that Geof Gray-Cobb paired up
these angels together as they were listed next to each other in almost all of the offensive NAP spells in
chapter 8 of the book, like so:

Defensive Armor Ritual - 5. MAHASIAH and 6. LEHAHEL

Psychic Guided Missile Ritual - 35. KEVEQIAH (Chavakiah) and 36. MENDIAL (Menadel)

The Etheric Shrapnel Ritual - 37. ANIEL and 38. CHAAMIAH (Haamiah)

The Spirit Sentry Ritual - 55. MIBAHIA (Mehaiah) and 56. POOYAL (Poiel)

The Occult Judo Ritual - 65. DAMBAYAH (Damabiah) and 66. MENQAL (Manakel)

The Theurgic Booby-Trap Ritual - 3. SAITEL (Sitael) and 4. OLMIAH (Elemiah)

The only offensive spell that does not seem to pair two Shem angels together who are listed in a row
features YECHOEL who is arguably not even a spirit from what I’ve seen, as it appears to be “a Hebrew
name given to males meaning “May God Live” or “God Shall Live.” And the other being paired up with
this “Hebrew name” is LEHAHIAH who is the 34th Shem angel. Together, these two work together in
the Astral Bomb Attack spell.
Beyond that, it seems that the only other Shem angel who is worked with in the more popular spells in
NAP would be IELAHIAH, the 44th Shem angel, who is called upon in the Incantation To Win Legal
Action.

Every other spirit in the book would appear to be from various traditions, and I think it would do well
to include some of them here.

Before I do this though, it would seem that similar to YECHOEL, who I previously mentioned, the spirit
(Mightiest) DYNAMIS, also appears to *not* be a spirit, yet another word to describe something. In this
case, it means “Miraculous Powers”. Appropriate, seeing as the name of the book has the word
“Miracle” in the title and also because this spell is the Incantation to Give Power Over Others. The
fascinating thing though, is that upon further research, it seems that this word is actually used to
describe a class of angels as well. So this spell would seem to have the potential to tap into a whole
pantheon of angel spirits perhaps. As an aside, pretty much any copy that one could find of this book,
‘The Miracle of New Avatar Power’ would be a used one, as it was published in the 1970’s and is now
out of print. The page with this spell on it, in the hardback edition that I have, is the only page that has
a crease on it from it’s previous owner. Possibly hinting that they really liked the power from this spell
and used it a lot. Or maybe it even says something about the power that DYNAMIS had over them,
seeing how it was the only page that was folded at its corner. Perhaps bending ones will like the page.

I also posted recently on my Facebook wall about how I have been studying the origin of the NAP
spirits, and that I found where some more of them came from, beyond the Shem angels, which I
discussed earlier in this blog. After performing the NAP Ritual, the first spell in the book (the whole
book to me is like a giant spell) The Incantation for Winning Contests comes next, which works in the
spirit LABEZERIN. It follows, with the second spell being the Invocation for Money with NITIKA. BOTH of
these “spirits” are from ‘The Nuctemeron’ by Apollonius of Tyana, a work which some say derives
these beings from Syrian lore. There is one more spirit from ‘The Nuctemeron’, known as JAZAR, who is
worked into The Spell to Excite Love.

Here’s the thing though! Regardless of where the original source comes from, the author of NAP is
speculated to have used ‘The Nuctemeron’ which states in the second sentence that:

“By these genii the ancient hierophants understood neither angels nor demons, but *moral forces* or
*personified virtues*.” (Asterisk emphasis my own).

So what this tells me, is that these FORCES, are not necessarily spirits, beings, or entities, but more like
a power that one is invoking, similar to a Hebrew God name, or other words of power that someone
performing magic might use. Just like I mentioned earlier with YECHOEL and DYNAMIS which are
names that describe something, LABEZERIN is the name used to describe the energy or force that
represents success, NITIKA is a force involving precious stones (not necessarily money) however
because of the amount of people whom have used the NAP grimoire, and the highly charged words of
power used when working with NITIKA, it has become a massively powerful force indeed, and then
finally JAZAR who is the “force” or “virtue” that represents love.
So right there, at least FIVE of the NAP spirits are actually more of a kind of energy, that when worked
with, activates their power internally (similar to the NAP ritual) along with creating an impression that
influences reality around us. I cannot tell you how grateful I was, along with the feeling of relief that
came when I discovered this, because NITIKA never appeared to me like a being, but always like a
bright building light of power inside me. NITIKA, in my opinion is a completely internal force through
my own experience, though that is just me. Either way, this research seems to back up how I perceive
it.

When we put into consideration, the techniques and methods used in NAP, a whole lot of what is
taking place has to do with activating internal forces within us to get the job done. For example, at the
end of the NAP rite one is instructed to say aloud, “I know now that my New Avatar Power is flooding
to the surface”. Then one can choose to work with the middle pillar to charge themselves which is a
form of energy work and building up one’s vital power within themselves to higher levels. Added on-
top of these two things, working with a name that is really a “moral force” or “personified virtue” and
you have a completely internal process going on that is drawing all of this stuff to you. For lack of
better words, you are pulling all that you desire, and to yourself, in order to create a better life. That
isn’t to say that these beings aren’t external from us, but rather, they know how to activate these
forces within us to attract what we want in life, because they literally *are* these forces. The NAP rite
relaxes us to make the energy channels open up so energy can flow, then the Central/Middle Pillar fills
us up with energy, and finally the “spirit” or “being” that is worked with in the spell takes all these
massive amounts of energy generated, and creates what they truly are from it. In this sense, the
energy you build up is partially transformed by the “spirit’s” energy signature in order to naturally
attract whatever force or virtue they are related to.

Below are the stories behind the different spirits of NAP. I took information from different sources
online, yet I found none of them actually crediting where they got it from, so I won’t either, as there is
no original place provided to give credit where it is due, except to thank the mysterious authors whom
originally contributed it.

ARZEL- (or ARZAL) is one of the four glorious and benevolent angels of the east, who is invoked
when one wishes to learn the secret wisdom of God. He has also been attributed to Psalm
80:10, the angel who watches over the sacred seder, "the mountains were overshadowed by
the boughs of the cedar of god."

LABEZERIN- Incantation for Winning Contests - In talismanic magic, the genius (spirit) of
success. LABEZERIN serves in the 2nd hour of the day. (The Nuctemeron)

NITIKA - A genius of precious stones who presides over the 6th hour. (The Nuctemeron)

(Mighty) ELUBATEL is called upon with two other spirits in the 6th & 7th Books of Moses. The
other two spirits are Ebuhuel and Atuesuel, who are called in order to summon demons.
GADIEL- An angel whose name means “God is my wealth”. Interestingly enough, though it’s
name has to do with wealth, yet it is used in the NAP spell for protection, so this might be a
good angel to work with into the money spell!

ANAEL (Haniel, Hamiel, Onoel, Ariel) – one of the 7 angels of Creation, chief of principalities,
prince of archangels, and ruler of Friday angels. Anael exercises dominion over the planet
Venus, is one of the luminaries concerned with human sexuality, and is governor of the 2nd
Heaven, where he is in charge of prayer ascending from the 1st Heaven. It is Anael who
proclaims “open all ye gates” in Isaiah 26:2. In addition, he controls kingdoms and kings on
earth and has dominion over the moon. (Along with Gabriel and others) Apart from variations
already noted, Anael is, or appears to be Aniyel, Anaphiel (Anafiel), Aufiel. With Uriel, Anael is
combined by Shakespeare in The Tempest to form the sprite Ariel. An angel which Anael has
been known to be under. Ariel was also quoted by Sir Edward Kelley to be a “comglomerate of
Anael and Uriel” In Longfellows The Golden Legend, Anael is one of the angels of the 7 planets,
specifically the angel of the Star of Love, (i.e. the Evening Star or Venus). In the Book of Tobit,
Anael is the name of Tobit’s brother.

JAZAR- A genius who “compels love.” Jazar is one of the genii of the 7th hour, according to ‘The
Nuctemeron’ of Apollonius of Tyana.

PAGIEL- An angel of the moon who is invoked during rituals for the purpose of granting
whatever they desire. It may be a good idea to work this angel into any spell, as a way of
strengthening results, and helping things manifest smoothly.

KADRIEL- 1 of 3 Kabbalistic angels of prophecy. Created on the eve of the 1st Sabbath. In the
Zohar, one of 3 “mouths” created by God at the start of Creation. Another “mouth” created at
the same time is the angel Yahadriel. The term seems to denote the voice of prophecy, rather
than translation as is the case of the Metatron. The “start of Creation” in which they were
created denotes the eve of the first Sabbath (I am unsure who the 3rd angel was, so I will just
say that it is Metatron for the time being). (Zohar)

ZOROEL- A Solomonic angel who is able to defeat Kumeatel. One of the thirty-six demons of
disease. (I feel that it would be advantageous for the healer to track down each Solomonic
angel that is known for defeating each one of the 36 demons of disease in order to find which
angels would work best for healing a specific ailment)

SABRIEL- An archangel who is one of the two chiefs of the Tarshishim “the brilliant ones” who
are the equivalent of the Virtues- the other is Tarshiel. He is also a guardian of the hall of the
First Heaven and is the only angel capable of defeating the demon Sphendonael (a demon of
disease).

(Mightiest) DYNAMIS- “Miraculous Powers”. This is also a word that represents an entire class
of angels.
 IAOTH- In the Testament of Solomon, Iaoth is one of the 7 Archangels (a variant of the 7 Aeons).
He is equated with Beqa, the first and fallen of the Aeons. By the power of Iaoth’s name, the
demon Kurteel (who causes bowel pains) can be overcome. In the sense that Kurteel is a variant
of Kasbeel (Beqa’s title after the fall), calling the name of Iaoth in aid seems to indicate some
conjuration of his former divine nature.

PETAHYAH- Cabalistic angel who rules the Northern region of heaven.

OPIEL- Angel who aids individuals in obtaining love of a desired one.

Now let’s have some fun and strip away the spells for a second that these spirits are worked into and
instead combine them in ways based on what we now know about them, and what they are
supposedly good at doing. I also feel that it would be more powerful to group up the other beings that
a spirit was originally featured with. So for example: Elubatel (Success), Ebuhuel, and Atuesuel (6th and
7th Books of Moses). Kadriel (To Know Secret Knowledge) Yahadriel, and Metatron (Zohar). Sabriel and
Tarshiel (Solomonic angels). It may also be a good idea to work with entire hierarchies. All 72 Shem
angels, all Solomonic angels, perhaps each spirit in ‘The Nuctemeron’ who has the desired powers that
is needed, and combine them together for different spells. Geof Gray-Cobb, cobbled together different
traditions, and it gets working results, though it could perhaps be more beneficial to stick with a single
tradition when it comes to casting a spell rather than combining as many as possible. The beings of one
tradition are likely more familiar with each other, and have better working relationships that are
already established, which is why it was smart, and a good move on his part to pair the Shem angels
together in the aforementioned spells.

For starters, let’s take the love spell which features both ANAEL and JAZAR. We could certainly add
OPIEL to the mix (or any spirit for that matter within reason of accomplishing the set objective of the
spell) as we now know that this spirit helps in matters of love. And though PAGIEL is in the Incantation
to Rekindle a Mate’s Interest, there is no reason why this being could not be added to *any* spell in
order to strengthen it, as we now know that it helps grant wishes (Note: I would recommend casting
love spells at one's risk. They tend to go awry, and mess things up for all those concerned, though it
might be entirely possible to avoid this kind of conflict by having the right kind of roster of spirits
backing you up like I was suggesting above. One may also benefit from being a little creative, and
finding different ways to work with them, as they are all great spirits).

Therefore, we could do something like this: Work exclusively with beings from a specific system, in this
example I will use the ones from ‘The Nuctemeron’ and though they rule over different hours of the
day, these forces still exist regardless of what time it is, and in my opinion, they can be called upon just
as powerfully, regardless of what the clock says.

I chose to take all the names of the different spirits from ‘The Nuctemeron’, and create different
categories in which one might benefit from having more direction in working with them. Of course one
can also do whatever they desire to fit their needs. I just find that it makes more sense for me
personally, and a lot easier when it has some form of organization like this. I even included my own
interpretation in parenthesis on some of these "moral forces" and "personified virtues" as they can be
confusing at times. Keep in mind that with my descriptions, this is how I mostly view them, so they
could have completely different meanings from my own perspective. And also, once again I will repeat
this passage from 'The Nuctemeron' as it is something that I’m really trying to drive home in this
current blog.

“By these genii the ancient hierophants understood neither angels nor demons, but moral forces or
personified virtues.”

MASCARUN, genius of death

EISTIBUS, genius of divination

TACRITAU, genius of Goetic magic

temple with, and that Moses used to engrave the stones placed into the Priestly breastplate)

EGLUN, genius of the lightning

CURSING:
[Remember that all the beings of ‘The Nuctemeron’ were said to be "forces" and "personified virtues"
so be careful with what you’re playing with. It may be best to work with external beings like the Shem
angels as Geof Gray-Cobb did in NAP, if you’re going to curse. I personally have not experimented with
these particular forces yet under this specific category, as it runs the possible risk of effecting the
person calling them, but who knows? Maybe they could help with transmuting this stuff into its
positive form within someone).

ZAHUN, genius of scandal

HAHABI, genius of fear

EIRNEUS, destroying genius of idols

THAGRINUS, genius of confusion

SISLAU, genius of poisons

ZEIRNA, genius of infirmities (ailment)

think "moral forces" and "personified virtues)".

TARAB, genius of extortion.

MISRAN, genius of persecution

LOVE:

SISERA, genius of desire

PHARZUPH, genius of fornication

SCHIEKRON, genius of bestial love (I am not entirely sure on this one, though I think it is implying the
worship of animal-like gods *not* bestiality. As they use the term “ministers of bestial love” in the
passage. This to me would denote Paganism in general. At any rate, best way to go about it would be
to make contact and find out!)

CAMAYSAR, genius of the marriage of contraries (again, a little confusing wording here, as this may
have to do with bringing together opposing ideas, rather than bringing two people into union who may
have differing opinions or personalities, but why not try both)

JAZER, genius who compels love

ARMILUS, genius of cupidity

Quiero manifestarle al Autor--Autora de este Block,mi preocupación y quizás la preocupación de
muchos, por la urgente necesidad a cerca de la pronunciación en el idioma Castellano o Lengua
Española (Español), de los diferentes ÁNGELES, ESPÍRITUS O ENTIDADES de energía que aparecen y son
usados en los diferentes rituales del libro Milagros del Nuevo Poder de Avatar (NAP O PAN). Por lo que
le agradecería, si está en su capacidad y posibilidades, hacernos una lista de dichos Ángeles y de otros
comunmente usados en otros Rituales, con su respectiva y mas aproximada pronunciación, como tal,
para que en realidad surtan efectos los rituales, también de algunas palabras usadas como mandatos o
pactos con estos seres con quienes trabajemos en dicho NAP o PAN. De antemano Mil gracias por su
desinteresada colaboración y mucho Amor.

Si le interesa saber, mucho de los nombres pronunciados en los grimorios tienen pronunciación latina o
sea misma pronunciación al castellano o español. La J suena como I (latinizada), la PH tiene como raíz
griega, y suena como F. La CH suena como sonaría ICH en aleman, parecido a la K pero con un claro
arrastre de la letra R (busca en google como la palabra ICH en aleman es pronunciada y te dara una
idea de como suena la CH en cada nombre angelical.La TZ suena como Z pero con el sonido de un leve
zumbido como el de una abeja al articular la primera letra de TZ. Recuerda muchos de estos nombres
son de origen hebreo con matizajes en latín y griego. O sea que si prestaís atención, veras que teneís
más ventaja que un ánglico parlante. Así que espero esto te haya ayudado. Un saludo

ARMILUS, genius of cupidity I feel is in the wrong category. Cupidity means greed. I would put this in
the cursing category because greed can make someone untrustworthy in many situations. Let me know
what you think. I appreciate your research and I will also do more research as well. Thanks so much
and let me know what you think.
