Walk? Where?
I am going to be upfront and transparent here, I am no expert in the Qabalah. What I do know, is that since 2021 I have worked every day with the Angels of the Shem Ha Mephorash alongside my Orphic Hymn practice.
The 72 Angels / Geniuses of the Shem Ha Mephorash have had an impact on my life and assisted me daily. Of course, this is my personal view and I am not suggesting anyone out there take my word as gospel, so to speak!
If you are new to the subject, here is a useful video and here is a paper explaining the Shem Ha Mephorash who they are and how they can be incorporated into your daily ritual. This is not a New Age practice, not in my mind anyway.
I intend this to be a project that will pique your interest in the subject so that you can begin your studies and come back to share your findings with me. I tend to be an erratic student at the best of times and could use the help. I am a Sagittarius rising after all!
Where to start? At 0° Aries up to the 4° 59” of Aries, for the first Quinance with the Angel Vehuaiah. I have created a separate post here to start us off.
I have several other resources to share with you below so that you can also take the walk this year with me if you choose to.
Resources
The Science of the Kabbalah by Lazare Lenain translated by Piers A. Vaughan is a wonderful sourcebook, I highly recommend this one if you want to understand the concept fully, it is relatively short and on the whole, accessible and available at your favourite online bookshop at a sensible price!
Travis McHenry produced an Angel Tarot deck which combines the Shem Ha Mephorash Angels with the tarot, you can use them in either capacity, I use these as part of my morning practice. Some of the timing is a bit weird, but I just use them to pick a card each day.
A good friend uses these coins to very good effect, a bit pricey for the set, but she recommends them.
There is a book called The Book of the Hidden Name by Maximus Avery that is very useful, but it is no longer available unless you have a big bank account.
If you want to take this a bit deeper then the Sepher Rezial Hemelach, The Book of Angel Rezial, edited and translated by Steve Savedow is the next step to take.
Take a stroll, or pop in occasionally?
The world is a heavy place at the moment, I cannot see any harm in trying to raise the energy with extra love, help and support.
If you would like to join me, I will add a note for each Quinance and we can compare and combine our findings.
Looking forward to a year of Angelic work with you.
Fascinating, Saffron! Thank you for sharing all these interesting resources. I look forward to delving into this.
