The '''Kabbalistic angels''', also known as the '''Angels of the Shem HaMephorash''', are 72 celestial spirits whose names are derived from the [[Shem HaMephorash|72-fold name of the Hebrew god]] as found in the Book of Exodus.

The supreme expansion of the Divine Name is called [[Shem HaMephorash]], being the word expounded in its fullness. The names of the 72 Angels of the Kabbalah connect with the power of the Divine Name as their names are devised from His through a series of mathematical and alphabetical permutations exercised by the ancient kabbalists.

Later [[Christianity|Christian]] authors added to the lore of the Kabbalistic angels by incorporating Greek, Egyptian, and Persian concepts into their philosophies. In his 1623 work, ''[[Meteorologica Cosmica]]'', occultist [[Robert Fludd]] established that specific [[archangels]] rule over each choir of [[angel]]s.

All the letters comprising the 72-fold name (and thus the names of the 72 Angels) are derived from the Book of Exodus, chapter 14, verses 19 - 21. Each of the three verses contains exactly 72 letters, and when one letter is taken from each verse in the kabbalistic pattern, they form 72 three-letter names that are unique to each Angel.

The verses tell the story of the Angel of God, who protected the fleeing Israelites from the army of the Pharaoh. It was Moses who spoke the 72-fold name aloud and caused God to part the Red Sea.

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.

==Astrology of the angels==
The ruling dates of the angels were originally derived from the 10 day periods ruled over by the 36 [[Egyptian decans]]. By splitting each week in the [[Egyptian calendar]] in half, the 360 day year was divided into 72 sections, with one angel ruling over each five day period. Because the Egyptian calendar consisted of 36 weeks of 10 days each, there were five days left over. These five days originally had their own decan, #37 (Shetwy, the Two Tortoises), who was responsible for ruling over the Epagomenal days.
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]].
This explains why, in the older texts showing the astrological correspondences of the Kabbalistic angels, there are five days missing from the calendar. Modern authors, ignorant of the ancient history of these entities, often adjust the dates the angels rule over to cover the entire [[Gregorian calendar]], despite the system pre-dating the creation of the Gregorian calendar by thousands of years.
Author [[A.E. Waite]] stated in ''[[The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts]]'':
<blockquote>
"It should be understood that people who are born between the days March 14 - March 20, or on the 29th of February during a leap year, will have the three Angels belonging to their birth hour as guardians of the three parts of their personality."
