Angels & Demons List

The 72 Angels Bearing The Mystical Name Of God (Shemhamporae)

The names of these spirits were obtained by combining the 72 letters of three verses from the book of Exodus in the Bible, (chapter 14 verses 19, 20, & 21). The name Shemhamporae is sometimes spelt Shemhamporasch. This word means the Divided Name. The "name" is Tetragrammaton: I.H.V.H., commonly called Jehovah. He is the supreme Lord of the Four Elements which fundamentally are the whole universe. There are three verses in Exodus, each containing 72 letters. By writing down the first of these, and underneath this the next verse backward, and under this again the last verse forwards, 72 columns of three letters each are obtained. These are read downwards, and the terminations "al" or "ah", according as they are male or female, appended. There is also an attribution of these intelligences, one to each of the quinaries or segments of five degrees of the Zodiac; but there are also innumerable other Angels, Demons, Magical Images, Lords of Triplicities, Lesser Assistant Angels and so on, with Demons to correspond. It is well to bear in mind that all Angels whatever their state of grace, indeed, no matter how christologically corrupt and defiant - are under God, even when, to all intents and purposes, they are performing under the direct orders of the Devil. Evil itself is an instrumentality of the Creator, who uses Evil for his own divine, if unsearchable, ends. Angels perform a multiplicity of duties and tasks. Preeminently they serve God. They also carry out missions from God to Man. But many serve man directly as Guardians, Counselors, Guides, Judges, Interpreters, Cooks, Comforters, Match-makers and Grave-diggers.
