ASALIAH. His attribute is Just God, Who Points To Truth . He corresponds to the holy divine name of Hana in the language of the people of Chile. His ray
commences from the 231st degree up to the 235th degree inclusive, corresponding to the twenty fourth decade and to the angel called Sieme, under the influence of Venus. He rules over the following days: 5th May, 16th July, 26th September, 7th December, 17th February. The invocation is done from 3:20pm till 3:40pm,
He serves to praise God and to rise towards Him when he sends us light.
This angel rules over justice, men of probity, and over those who raise their spirit to the contemplation of divine things. The person born under this influence will have an agreeable character; he will be passionate to acquire secret light.
Meditate on this name will bring you to reflect upon the spiritual truth that world peace begins with peace in your own heart. With this Name, you can speed your own transformation and strengthen the forces of peace throughout the world.
The negative side of this angel rules over immoral and scandalous acts, and over all those who spread dangerous and chimerical schemes.
Asaliah report: Contact takes longer to establish than usual, probably because I was coming to the invocations unusually tired, which likely also affected the message I ultimately recieved from the angel. The sounds of the house and the city were heightened–rhythmic electromechanical noises, the rise and fall of distant traffic, and the trill of hummingbirds–and then I felt a very subtle pressure on my skin, all around my body.
“Angel, show yourself that I may know you.” _Look within. I am there, as in all things, but this is the gate. [An image of a small stone or wood engraving, very worn, is located inside my chest, just below my heart and above my solar plexus.] _Destroy the idols of the heart that the living spirit may arise._ [Image of the icon disintegrating backward, as if weathering to dust]
“How shall I do this thing, to destroy what my heart loves?” _It is love to release what has become fixed, for love moves with the Beloved, whose dance is endless. And this is the way: let yourself be embraced in silence and fully seen in the hollows of your being and within your bones, within your yearnings, the spaces open._ [Some time passes, during which my experience is lost to my memory. When I regain consciousness, I ask again:]
“Angel, show thyself.” [Sensations throughout my body like electricity crawling under my skin. Flashing images like X-rays of a winged animal, or a fossil–like the famous Archaeopteryx, but the vision added front legs as well as the wings. An image like a laboratory, but holy and inspirited. A figure like a scientist, wearing white robes, gloves, and complicated eyewear, with papers and arcane apparatus.
“Angel, what is your office concerning me?” _I see what is hidden from you._ [The sense is, “Ahah–Found it!”]. _Do you want to know more?_ “What is to my benefit and needed for the work of my own angel.” [Sense of being examined from the inside, with the results reported like a living autopsy.] _Like a dog in the graveyard, digging bones, you awake what is dead to life–not as it was but as it returns to be of help to the living–and like a dog you give yourself into your experience gladly. Like a dog, you can be trained. Yet you are not tamed, and are wild yet in your heart, and the blood that is in you bears the marks of your breeding which are fierce and bright and must be taught to take care that what you love is made better for your loving._
_And it is given to me to give this medicine and wisdom to you, who have come to me for aid: [A sudden movement in my left shoulder, like an injection without a needle; I see a cloud of many tiny blue lights spreading into my body, bringing slowness and quiet and a desire to sleep. I become aware, as for the first time, of aches and pains in my body that I recognize as having been there so long I’d forgotten them. I am told to make tea and sing over it the name and versicle of the angel, drink it, and get more rest. But one last question first!]
“Angel, what message do you have for Rune Soup?” _What is medicine for one is not for all, but in the judgment of the gods is the diagnosis and the understanding; be ye therefore ardent in thy desire to know the works of the Lord and Lady, and wonders will be opened: but do not suppose that it is by thy wisdom that healing comes._
Second invocation, 11/16/23
Contact begins with the impression of many streams of light descending, in the manner of banners unfurling, from above. Directly above my head, one opens into a sphere of light, and a presence with wings descends into the sphere. My whole body feels electric, and the hair on my arms is standing up. There is a feeling of being closely observed, like I’m being scanned from head to foot and back up. Then a second sphere of light descends from the first, enveloping the region of my heart and solar plexus. The light further descends and generates a third sphere in the bowl of my hips; from below, a snake-like presence rises into this third sphere out of darkness below; and then the light descends further down into the darkness. As the serpent rises, the sense of electric tension suddenly relaxes, leaving a calm, clear peace. The voice of the angel speaks from the central sphere around my heart, and I see rather than feel my heart unfolding petals like a rose blooming.
_You have called me, and I have come; though it is hard for me to enter into your world, for I am drawn ever to the Highest [understood as a sort of omnidirectional periphery or asymptote about the center of my present consciousness—below as well as above]. Yet I descend and arise so that you too may arise, through the influence of my conversation._
_There is in you a blending of the higher and lower nature, and thus you remain stable in that middle realm to which you were born: yet you are free, and by your choice may rise or descend a while, and expand below and above the reach of your spirit. By going deeper, you may rise higher, if your soul wills it; and by rising, you may reach further into the heart of earth [=matter], your home, even beyond where it is permitted to me to go. All this is in love and accordance with your nature, which is to grow._
_Yet there is also another movement possible [the voice has a sort of grimace to it—the closest I’ve seen to an angel expressing disgust], which grows neither upward nor downward, but takes place within: By your freedom, you may set the higher against the lower, and bring war to your nature, in the rejection of the love of your parts—for do the heavens not love the earth, and the earth reach eagerly to receive the heavens? But this war in the soul is the source of evil, for it results in the destruction of its own nature—not completely, for still the Gods forbear and sustain even that which wills its annihilation—but in part, endlessly, turning love ever against itself, seeking its destruction, and finding evil where good is offered, and returning it again against the giver._
_This is the freedom that is given to you and your kind; but unto myself and my kind [i.e., the angels] it is not given. Nor confuse this evil not with that holy sacrifice or self-undoing, which offers itself up for love’s sake, to give back good for evil; though in the ignorant mind they may seem the same. But if you are at war with any being, love your enemy even in battle, and if you should have victory praise them in their going-down, and give gratitude for the grace given you to live. And the same if you should fall in battle. But for those you love, offer up in sacrifice those things which would do them harm. Thus, in your blended nature, you may be whole and complete, and at peace with all your parts._
The winged being above me and the serpent below leave their spheres and come together in the flower of my heart, and I feel a great softening, and the release of bodily tension I hadn’t realized I was carrying—something like forgiveness. The spheres return to the light which created them, and the banners about me roll back to heavens above and below, but the symbol of the message remains in my heart.
