Archangel of the sphere of Chesed (Chesed), on the tree of life.

This Shepira or sphere is that of abundance, prosperity, joy, good luck.

The image of the sphere is a king seated on a throne, which shows balance. It belongs to the pillar of mercy on the tree of life, and also, it possesses the attribute of greatness, another name for this sphere (guedulah).

Helps to improve memory and communication both spoken and written. Understanding the present and having visions of the future, helps to grow your business by bringing abundance and profit, also in legal matters (as it represents the merciful king); helps to recover from illness and fatigue. It frees you from what oppresses you or those who oppress you.

Tzadkiel, as the archangel of this sphere (traditionally related to Jupiter) is the ruler of the world of creation or Briah.

In addition to the above, he can be invoked for harmony, happiness, justice, balance, prosperity, abundance, luck in gambling, making promises come true and increasing people’s self-esteem and affection. (Again properties of the righteous king represented by Chesed).

The associated name (or word of power) is El, probably an abbreviation of Elohim or Eloha. To invoke, the word must be vibrated in the tone corresponding to the sphere.

These jinn are usually associated with him: Nith-Haaiah, Haaiah, Yerathel, Seheiah, Reyiel, Omael, Lecabel and Vasariah. These jinn or angels are derived from the 72 names of God.

The main element is water, so we will work on our inner self, our emotions will come to light, both the good and the negative ones, as the latter are the ones that hide personal growth.

In the tarot, it is the fours that represent this sphere.

To summarise, in the world of emanation, the word of power is EL, in the world of creation, the archangel Zadkiel is to be invoked, in the world of formation the associate angels and in the world of action it is Jupiter who rules. The colours, following the above order, are: dark violet, blue, purple and blue with yellow tones.

The virtue of the sphere is obedience to natural laws, it can be translated as trust in destiny or to flow, to let go, to have faith.

When working the sphere or the archangel we must beware of the vices of this sphere, i.e. being too indulgent, fanaticism, believing that we are the sole possessors of the truth, hypocrisy…these are the hidden demons that we must overcome.

The choir of angels belonging to and ruled by Zadkiel/Sachiel, are the Chasmalin or enlightened ones, the shining ones. These angels rule the world of formation or Yetzirah.

Working with the sphere and the archangel we can know what is traditionally called the vision of love.

Any time is a good time to invoke the archangel Zadkiel, but Thursday is the best day, otherwise you can look for the time of Jupiter, but it is preferable to look for Thursday at the time of the associated planet so that our rituals have greater strength.

The use of Zadkiel’s sigils and planetary characters is highly recommended,

If a candle is to be used, it should be engraved at the time of Jupiter, on a Thursday, anointed with the sacred oil and left ready for use; in this way the invocation will be simpler as we will be using something physical to establish contact in our world.
