"When you fear comes as desolation, and your
destruction comes as a tempest (whirlwind);
when distress and anguish come upon you." And
desolation, wasting, destruction in Proverbs
3:25: "Do not be afraid of sudden fear, neither of
the desolation of the wicked, when it comes."
And in Psalm 63:9: "But those that seek my soul,
to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the
earth."

Goetia: "He is a great president, and appears like
a leopard at the first, but after a little time he puts
on the shape of a man. His office is to make one
cunning in the liberal sciences, and to give true
answers of divine and secret things; also to
change a man into any shape that the Exorcist
pleases, so that he that is so changed will not
think nay other things than that he is verity that
creature or things he is changed into. He governs
30 Legions of Spirits." [Mathers, 1995, p. 581
ayyehoq. aggelos (Gr). a messenger, an angel.
Messenger from God. "A symbol of spiritual
influences able to minister to the aspirations of
the soul. They are messengers of the inner light

a means of aiding the soul's evolution." [Gaskell,

living God.

'i7lEED Metatron. the Archangel of Kether and
therefore related to the Ace of Cups. He is a
personification of Yekhidah, the One Self.
Metatron is also said to be angel of Tiphareth in
the creative world. In this aspect he refers to the
awakened Ego, conscious of its essential identity
with Yekhidah. With different vowel points, is
specially designated by the word na'ar, boy
(TI). This is the boy in Key 20 who is the
resurrected ego consciousness, turning inward
and eastward to Kether. In our experience,
Metatron is the Central Self, said to embrace the
6 directions of space from the point within.
Charged with the word of restoration and with
the task of glorifLing the bodies of the just in
their sepulcher's [Zohar]. see 101, 3 1 1, 246, 280,

Ezekiel 6:6: "In all your dwelling-places the
cities shall be laid waste and the high places shall
be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste
and the high places shall be desolate." Refers to
the remoteness of Yekhidah. With different
pointing: distance, separation, loathsomeness,
absurdity.
