Questions about Yerathel
Who is the angel Yerathel?
Yerathel is angel number 27 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 Yerathel 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. Yerathel rules 10–15° Sagittarius, so it is the angel of people born from December 2 to December 6. Enter your birth date in the Circle on the home page to check yours.

How is Yerathel 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.
