Then take the first letter of the first verse, which is called Vav (V); next working the other way take the last letter of the second verse, hay (H) and lastly go to the beginning of the third verse which you will find is Vav again. | Take the three verses beginning vayisa, vayabo, and vayet, and write them out one by one in a vertical column from right to left such that the letters of each word follow in one from another from top to bottom.

When you link up these three letters in this order the first angel's mnemonic V-H-V is obtained, the second angel is Y-H-Y, and the third is S-Y-T. | When you link up these three letters in this order the first angel's mnemonic V-H-V is obtained, the second angel is Y-H-Y, and the third is S-Y-T. Afterward, the suffix "EL" or "IAH" is added to each three-letter sequence to create the proper name of an [[angel]]. | ||

When the Greek scholars incorporated the Egyptian system into their own, they grouped the decanal gods with the spirits of the air. Later Christian scholars interpreted these in two different ways: either as angels or ''daimons'' (incorrectly conflating the Greek term for a minor god as a [[demon]]). Eventually, by the Medieval Period, the textual mistranslations and conflations were forgotten and the entire system was interpreted with a [[Christianity|Christian]] worldview by European [[occultist]]s attempting to reconcile Kabbalistic mystic texts with [[astrology]] and [[alchemy]]. | When the Greek scholars incorporated the Egyptian system into their own, they grouped the decanal gods with the spirits of the air.

===Modern misconceptions of angel astrology=== | |||
Modern authors, ignorant of the ancient history of these entities, and not knowing that their astrological connections pre-date the [[Gregorian calendar]], often adjust the dates that the angels rule over to cover the entire 365-day year. The proliferation of these incorrect dates has become especially problematic in the digital era, when incorrect information is simply cut-and-pasted from one website to another. Further compounding this discrepancy in dates is the otherwise correct information provided by many authorities on the subject of angel invocation. | |||
