Guevurah is the sephirah of rigour, severity, power… It is located on the pillar of rigour on the tree of life. The magical image of this sphere is a warrior in a chariot.

It is a complicated place to understand, because we generally assimilate war, struggle and power to violence, in fact the vice of this sphere is cruelty, too much rigour added to little mercy can lead to this state.

But it also represents assimilation, stoic acceptance of reality, discipline, knowing how to set limits for the people around you and discovering courage, fortitude.

His virtue is energy, vitality, strength, endurance and the struggle to overcome whatever situation we are living through.Otronombre for this sphere of the tree of life is Notzer Chesed, that is, guardian of mercy. For he is the warrior who teaches us to discover our value and to manage our power; in this society power is often associated with destruction, in this case power well managed leads us to mercy and to use it only when necessary because we learn to be aware of the harm that the misuse of power can cause.

The magical name in the world of emanation or Atziluth is ELOHIM GUIBOR, this word of power opens the door for the energy of this sphere to begin to descend into our world.

Camael is the archangel who rules the world of emanation (Briah) and his name means God force. We can call upon Camael to give us courage in the face of adversity, awaken our power and learn to set boundaries and, in the process, emanate an aura of power as we discover it within ourselves.

Camael can help us to express negative feelings in a healthy way, for example anger.

Camael gives us protection in every way and serves as a shield against negative energy. It is a good defence against enemies and people who wish us harm.

Camael works with the seraphim (in the world of training or Yetzirah) and they teach us that power is necessary to set boundaries and cut off unwanted situations in our lives, there are times when we must learn to put an end to things.

In fact, the teaching of this sphere is the vision of power, where we learn to use it and always towards mercy and love, with responsibility and awareness.

In Assiyah or the world of action it is the planet Mars that rules and the best day to perform a ritual is Tuesday. Aries and Scorpio are the signs that best represent the energy of Camael.

One way to invoke and work with the energy of Camael is through his candle consecrated with sacred oil and ritualised on a Tuesday at the hour of Mars.
