The Archangel Tzaphqiel

Artwork by me courtesy of NightCaféStudio This is based on some magical work I have recently done. The Archangel of Binah is Tzaphqiel (sometimes spelled “Tzaphkiel”) whose name means (according to Davidson (1967) p366) “Knowledge of God.” Consequently, Tzaphqiel is thought of as the Recording Angel, and hence, the Qabalistic equivalent of the Keeper of the Akashic Records. When one considers…

Aralim "Thrones"

The Aralim are the order of angels that dwell in Binah. The Aralim are called the Thrones, and they are the strength and stability of Binah. It is interesting to note an older alternative name for Binah was Khorsia, which means throne. The Archangel Tzaphkiel is head of the Aralim angels. He is the guardian of the famed Akashic Records, where all things that were done, and all thing that will be, are recorded. Tzaphkiel is also the guardian of the Archetypal temple.

'Advent' by Kazuma Kaneko and Megumi Shiraishi, 2005. Scanned at 800 DPI, 11232x8109.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xwyT5lNIiE8myFIEtK0QaPQk05DgXwsL?usp=share_link

First off, I would like to say thank you for 100 Tumblr followers! I scanned this piece today in celebration of that. Hope you’ve all been enjoying the awesome Kaneko Kontent, I won’t stop scanning until Atlus finally hires a hitman to put me down (I’ll defeat them).

Anyway, this Shin Megami Tensei II piece was drawn for the cover of Kaneko Works Vol. 2 (SMT II art book) and consists entirely of Divine and Herald demons from, you guessed it, SMT II. Among them can be seen Satan, Metatron, Camael, Sariel, Kushiel, Ophanim, Raguel, Haniel, Tzaphkiel, Principality, Dominion and Power. It’s an easy guess that the motif if this piece is law, hence Metatron, Principality and Dominion t-posing to evoke the shape of the cross.

Let us see the terror of heaven

I was thinking a while ago today about the way angels are consistently designed in Shin Megami Tensei vs the way the Law alignment is sort of steadily portrayed in later games. It's a weird trip but hopefully where I'm going will become clear.

Most of Shin Megami Tensei's angels actually hue fairly close to the "traditional" image of angels, as fair-looking winged humans. We see this for instance in Shin Megami Tensei's Angel.

In nearly all of the angels in the Tenshi clan:

And of course, the Four Archangels/Seraphs/Heralds. Let's just use Uriel as an example here:

There's also Haniel and Kazfiel whose designs both follow traditional Christian depictions of seraphs. We'll bring up Haniel's art here:

But then we get to Shin Megami Tensei II where we really start to see the "Biblically accurate angels" trope emerge in earnest, where we see the more human/Hellenistic-looking angels alongside some pretty eldritch entities in the Daitenshi clan. For example, Tzaphkiel:

Or how about Ophanim, which seems to be based around Ezekiel's vision of the cherubim:

And then of course there's SMT 2's Satan:

Devil Summoner and Soul Hackers can be seen as developing the inhuman aesthetic of SMT's angels as extending from the "Biblically accurate angel" trope. Let's start with the Tenshi clan in Devil Summoner:

And some of the Daitenshi:

Then Soul Hacker's Tenshi:

And Daitenshi:

With Shin Megami Tensei IV it seems that one of the guest artists, Keita Amemiya, took the inhuman direction for angel design to the nth degree in terms of his approach to demon design in general as reflecting the idea of angels and demons as artificial beings.

At this point I should get to where I'm going here. For a while, at least a decade ago, I might have favoured the idea of the angels as strictly inhuman, or even artifical, possibly to convey the externality and alienness of the repression of the order of God. Keita Amemiya seemed to really lean on that idea, though the designs were certainly rather poorly executed at least for the Four Heralds. But thinking about it, I think the older designs for the Four Seraphs appeal to me for more than just being the classic designs from SMT 1 and 2.

Even though the "Biblically accurate" design direction is very suitably weird both for SMT's context and the linking of the strange and alien to representation of dreadful aspects of divine awe, I find that the more humanlike representation of angels in the context of the Law alignment works better for what, in my mind, I prefer to see. To understand where I'm going, let's look at SMT IV and Apocalypse. Here, the Law alignment is much as it is in SMT I and II, in that it can understood in terms of a single-minded devotion to the order of God, and to the extent that the forces of Law are ruthless in their actions, willing even to wipe out all of Tokyo in order to preserve the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado. In Apocalypse, you see YHVH's "true form" as a monstrous chimera the likes of which, as I remember Eirikr noting, you would probably see as the formulaic final boss of literally any JRPG.

To my mind, it serves to very obviously signify YHVH as unambiguously evil, which, oddly for SMT, is represented as similarly unambiguously demonic. Of course it might be argued that the conceits of Sethian "Gnosticism" are also in play. I think that the opposite approach would be better. SMT IV's approach seems to tie the order of God and the atrocity that the forces of Law undertake to uphold as, all along, the manifestation of a demonic will. But the better idea for me is that all of the same atrocity is done not by monsters but by the traditional figures of light.

Every scheme to dominate the universe, and every massacre that follows to support it, every terror that befalls mankind for its perceived failure, I prefer that we see all of it under the auspice of the traditional figures of light. That would be a far more fitting adage of the inversion that SMT is known for. As Valerio Mattioli said of Rome as portrayed by Luchino Visconti, hell lies in the celestial vaults. And what better way to illustrate that then all of the violence and terror of Law being the instrument not of monstrous chimeras but of celestial form. Of a "beauty" that hides unfathomable violence within itself. And I don't want SMT to be the only place where you can find this idea. Oh no no no I think more media should play with that idea, more art should go all in on this kind of aesthetic-moral inversion.

Update: it occurred to me that I've forgotten something. I forgot to talk about SMT V.

When it comes to SMTV, we see echoes of SMTIV Apocalypse's handling of Law and the violence of order, in that it both reasserts its treatment of that as the affect of an actually demonic will and presents Abdiel's desire to reassert God's order as a plunge to towards the demonic. Hence you see the angel Abdiel transform from sort of an angelic Princess Padme in gold armour into an actual fallen angel, who even gets reclassed as the only Law-aligned member of the Fallen clan.

Not to mention her attempt to become a Nahobino resulting in a transformation into a giant demon centaur whose design seems to recall Sirene's fusion with Kaim in Devilman.

Of course, in context this is all supposed to emerge from the premise of God's death, Abdiel's denial of that death, and the resulting desperation to restore order. But, again, that desire as strictly the affect of the classically demonic to me misses the point. Yet, given the obvious resonances with Nocturne, where three of the main characters merge with their demonic sponsors, it's worth pointing to an obvious contrast: Baal Avatar.

And moreso, the fact that before you see Baal Avatar you witness Chiaki slaughter the Manikins, ramble about how the strong deserve to crush the weak, and then in a flash of light three out of the four archangels (namely Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel) appear as her allies, which you fight.

Now there's a setting where the representatives of Social Darwinist violence and atrocity also make no bones about what guides them: the idea that they're making the world beautiful and promoting the ultimate good. Their radiant appearance is not to be understood as a deception covering up some inner demonic nature or demonomania but instead only reflects their seemingly divine conceit. It's not only that they believe they are paragons of virtue. Everything they do, they do as figures of light. And you, a monster among monsters, a cursed being in the world of demons, might oppose them and might just stop them if you choose to. It's really hard to think of anything else that has that angle. It's also somewhat concerning to think that future games might miss the mark.

The development exemplified by Abdiel's transformation into literally a fallen angel ultimately lends not only to certain ideas about the hope that there might be something "unambiguously good" about Law, but also the idea that all the bad things about it are all about concert with the demonic, which is ultimately familiar to the conceit that all of the negative aspects of Christianity are simply the manifestations of a falsification of Christianity, that the "real" blasphemers, heretics, and demons are actually just Christian fundamentalists. But I'm not interested in that idea. I'm interested in the worst that humanity has to offer being contained in its loftiest aspirations of order and in turn represented in the figures of light, because I'm interested in the idea that it is in the name of "the Good" that atrocity always manifests, and for which we cast it into a shadow of the human, in evil.

What we are striving to forget is that the worst deeds in the world are always either utterly human or surely the work of God. Nothing demonic could come close. So let us see more inversion that reflects that insight. The insight that, so far, SMT is among the few media to portray, let alone portray as brilliantly as it often has.

Hi, could you tell me how to ask Tranquil Spirit for help? I want a certain person to be harassed until they don't want to be with me

I am unsure what you mean by tranquil spirit, perhaps an in tranquil spirit? Do you have one in mind?

You don't need a spirit to do this for you either. What you need is a spell or ritual to do this. There are multiple things you can do:

You could buy or make some banishing powder or 'hot-foot powder' place some personal effects of the individual into a small glass bottle or jar- this could be a hair, an item they have held close, some dirt from their home- something to link the individual. Place this with paper with their name and date of birth on it, and a photo. Wrap it all up with the effect inside, seal with the powder inside and black wax. Place in the bottle, cover with powder, and then say a short prayer or invocation to a deity you work with- could also use some psalms for this if that's your cup of tea. Take this away from the home and throw it into running water- a river, the ocean, something along those lines.

You can also do the above but utilise four-thieves vinegar instead of powder- submerge the items in a bottle filled with it.

The waning moon would be best for these workings- perhaps you could do it over three nights and finish on the new moon.

Alternatively you could invoke a Saturnian being such as the archangel Cassiel or Tzaphkiel- different traditions list different names. You would ask them to restrict the persons movements and bind them from interacting with you. You could. use a poppet with a link in it and wrap it in black ribbon whilst reciting something reflecting your intent. You could then bury this in a graveyard or away from the home in a secluded spot.

Selathiel + Tzaphkiel

By leading your life with love and your heart, and knowing you are divine even in your mundane activities, you are on the right path. Stay the course. Great changes will come with haste when you do.

[eirikrjs]

i'm just going to ask, what's your opinion of Tzaphkiel's design?

It's fine! Essentially a clever reuse of the quad-wing template seen on other Heralds. (T)Zaphkiel is a Throne, so an Ophan, and thus the eye seems okay even if I still prefer anthropomorphism.

Saliamo di vibrazione con l'Arcangelo Tzaphkiel e troviamo la possibilità di influenzare l'inconscio collettivo. Quando questo accade? Sempre, in ogni attimo della tua giornata. Da qui l'importanza di vivere una vita consapevole. Che cosa emani quando parli? Che cosa emani quando pensi? Quale tipo di egregora stai rafforzando? Quella della paura e della divisione? Quella della violenza e dell'intolleranza? Oppure quella dell'accoglienza, della comprensione e del perdono? Il tuo modo di essere influenza il mondo attorno a te e a lungo andare lo crea. Quindi decidi il mondo che vuoi e indirizza i tuoi pensieri in quella direzione. Nello specifico Tzaphkiel, fra le altre cose, sostiene l'attivazione del Corpo di Luce, ovvero la pulizia dei nostri corpi energetici che avrà poi come conseguenza anche una miglior salute del corpo fisico. Ricordi il rituale per pulire la casa con la candela in cera d'api? Puoi fare lo stesso con la tua aura: Passa la candela tutta attorno al tuo corpo (non serve che tocchi la pelle) con l'intento che i blocchi lì presenti vengano assorbiti dalla cera e poi semplicemente accendila e lasciala bruciare.
