Questions about Lauviah
Who is the angel Lauviah?
Lauviah is angel number 17 of the 72 angels of the Shem HaMephorash, the 72-part name of God. Kabbalists took the name from three verses of Exodus (14:19–21), each 72 Hebrew letters long, and read it as 72 names of three letters. Each of those names, with an angelic ending, gives one angel.
Is Lauviah my guardian angel?
In the Golden Dawn system each of the 72 angels rules 5° of the zodiac, and your angel is the one ruling the degree the Sun was in when you were born. Lauviah rules 20–25° Libra, so it is the angel of people born from October 13 to October 17. Enter your birth date in the Circle on the home page to check yours.

Libra, an air sign. Lauviah rules the first half of the third decan of Libra (20–30°). The other half belongs to Caliel, angel Nº 18.
Which demons are paired with Lauviah?
In the Golden Dawn scheme every 10° decan has two angels and two Goetic demons, one ruling by day and one by night. The demons of Lauviah's decan are Morax (Nº 21, by day) and Ose (Nº 57, by night).
How is Lauviah used in practice?
In later ceremonial magic the angel of a decan is said to hold power over the Goetic demon of the same decan, so it is named when that demon is called. Many people also simply work with the angel of their own birth degree. Read it as a historical tradition; no outcome is promised.
