Questions about Mikael

Who is the angel Mikael?

Mikael is angel number 42 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 Mikael 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. Mikael rules 25–30° Aquarius, so it is the angel of people born from February 14 to February 18. Enter your birth date in the Circle on the home page to check yours.

Which zodiac sign does Mikael belong to?

Aquarius, an air sign. Mikael rules the second half of the third decan of Aquarius (20–30°). The other half belongs to Hahahel, angel Nº 41.

Which demons are paired with Mikael?

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 Mikael's decan are Gaap (Nº 33, by day) and Decarabia (Nº 69, by night).

How is Mikael 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.
