וָהֵוָ ( Vav Hey Vav ) VaHeVa
וְאַתָּה יְהוָה, מָגֵן בַּעֲדִי; כְּבוֹדִי, וּמֵרִים רֹאשִׁי- תהילים פרק גֵ:ד
The Book of Psalms 3:4
Latin Vulgate 3:4 Et tu Domina susceptor mea et gloria mea et exaltans caput meum
King James Version 3:4 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
וָהֵוָיָה VeHaVaYA / VEHUIAH. His attribute is interpreted as God elevated and exalted above all things.
Influence time and dates: 00:01 – 00:20 daily; 21st March until the 25th inclusively,
She governs the first ray of the East in the spring season, that is to say the first five degrees of the circle which begins at midnight on 21st March, or in the first degree of the Ram, corresponding to the first semi-decade of the sacred calendar, and to the first angel, called Chontare, under the influence of Mars: this angel, and those which follow up to the 8th one, belong to the First Order of Angels which the Orthodox call the Choir of the Seraphim. She inhabits the realm of fire: Her sign is Aries, and she rules also the following five days in her quintiles: 20th March, 31st May, 11th August, 22 October, and 2nd January.
Her invocation is made toward the East, from midnight exactly until 12:20am, to receive light. It is by virtue of these divine names that one may become illuminated by the spirit of God; one must pronounce them from midnight precisely until 12:20. The talisman must be prepared according to the principles of the secret and sacred art.
The person who is born under the influence of this angel has a skillful nature; being blessed with great wisdom, a lover of the Arts and Sciences, capable of undertaking and executing the most difficult things; a warrior, due to the influence of Mars; having abundant energy, due to the dominance of fire. The negative side of this angel influences turbulent men and rules over promptness and anger.

FIRST CONVERSATION
VEHUIAH appears suddenly as an angel having four wings and a head like a ram in front, with two heads like a lion and a man looking to right and left, as a babe in red swaddling clothes, and a sword is in its hands, and a crown upon its head.
Angel, what is thy message? Be not afraid, but lift up thy head, for the Lord and Lady bless those who trust in Them, and what they work the Lord and Lady confirmeth, for the freedom and growth of their spirit. Hold thy work within thy heart, let it burn in thee as a bright flame, and a lamp to thy salvation. Fear not, I am with thee.

SECOND CONVERSATION
I opened this second round of the 72 walk at the moment of the sun’s ingress into Aries, local time, facing east and using the same set of prayers as the first time around, adjusted slightly for the changes in my practice since then.*
Almost immediately upon beginning the prayers I felt the same “thickening” of the field that others have reported, and a tremendous sense of power and charge building up around me.
I was also keenly aware of my children in the other room, able to hear the spoken conjurations. They’re used to me being a wizard, and hearing me pray, or sing. In my first year with the angels I had timed my invocations for when they weren’t present, in order to keep a clear channel. Now, more sure of the contact, my concern is to see whether the angels would answer if called in different circumstances—and indeed, I felt immediately in the same field of clear light that became more prominent during the end of the initial circle of visions.
This time, after confirming contact, and rather than asking for a vision or information, I offered Vehuiah the painting I’d made based on their appearance the first time I met them, passing it through the incense and asking that it be a portal for the power of the 72 into the material realm. I also asked for the angel’s assistance and blessing in opening the ways for the 72 walk and the work which I have planned with the Shem for this year, which involves the creation or completion of a series of artworks, the writing of a book, and other tasks which they recommended to me last time around, as well as receiving new information and support as needed—if the first circle was a seed, this is germination, this season sprouting, and this year the growing. What flowers may bloom from this infinite tree? What fruiting, what harvest? I pray the angel to bless the matter in all these things we undertake together, for the glory of the Gods, the good of their people, and the comfort of me, their child and servant, and one who loves the Way.
It felt wonderful to be fully in the field of these angels again, as strongly as if I hadn’t taken a year off. I’m deeply grateful for this practice and these beings, and the clear light they bring.
Here’s the message Vehuiah gave me when I first met them, which still rings true: Be not afraid, but lift up thy head, for the Lord and Lady bless those who trust in Them, and what they work the Lord and Lady confirmeth, for the freedom and growth of their spirit. Hold thy work within thy heart, let it burn in thee as a bright flame, and a lamp to thy salvation. Fear not, I am with thee.
[[*Specifically, I’ve left space in the invocations to cross-pollinate this working with a broader range of magical practice by integrating non-Abrahamic traditions in a syncreto-polytheistic mode. In this second round, I hope to build bridges to (1) the gods and ways of Celtic and Germanic paganisms connected to my ancestors,; (2) the Eastern traditions that have influenced my practice, notably Zen, yoga, and various Taoist understandings and practices; and (3)the spirits having power at this place and time, amid the surviving and emerging animisms and magics of my particular cultural milieu in the early centuries of the Age of Aquarius, at the ingress of Pluto into Aquarius in 2023, on the north banks of the big river, Snpoilshi, or Columbia River, by whose waters I was born in the mountains where it is called the Snake, now living below the Gorge dug by the Changer that stands between Pahtoe and Wyeast, and just east of the confluence with the Willamette, and often in sight of Loowit, the Smoking Mountain that erupted the year I was born. Now there is a city here; I live on the highlands above the old fort, and travel often across the river into Portland, which was forest and field and village-site only a few centuries ago, and now is a maze of people and streets—and now as then is a crossroads of peoples and cultures, where gods and goods are traded upriver as far as the highest mountains and downriver out to sea, south into California, and north to the Salish Sea.]]
