This square contains the letters of the Names of the Archangels of the first nine sephiroth. Metatron, Tzaphkiel, Tzadkiel, Kamael, Michael, Haniel, Raphael and Gabriel. These letters add up to 1960 – 7 x 280
The outer columns and rows have the number 277 (for which Crowley gives “gratia, benevolentia”) and 283 (“that goes on foot”). These words seem to come from “friend” and “foot soldier”).
The 5 remaining columns and rows have the value of 280 which is the Gematria of Sandalphon.
In Daniel 5:25 this mysterious sentence appears. It is the original “writing on the wall” which is so often referenced.
None of the king’s wise men knew the meaning of the phrase, and Daniel was brought in to interpret it.
This is Daniel’s translation:
MENE = “God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end”
TEKEL = “Thou are weighed in the balances, and found wanting”
PERES = “Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians”
Let’s ignore the difference between UPHARSIN and PERES for a moment. The U is the Vav which means “and”, PHARS and PERES are spelled the same in the Hebrew (Peh Resh Samech).
The words clearly weren’t part of the normal language spoken by the king and his court, else Daniel wouldn’t have had to be brought in to interpret them.
What if we compare it with Sumerian?
MEN = tiara
NE = strength
TAKA = abandon
TAKA LA = open
U = and
PAR = canal
SEN = battle
Strength has Abandoned the Crown and Opened a Canal to Battle
In the night following Daniel’s interpretation of these words, king Belshazzar was slain. A powerful Spell.
Continuing my idea that Enochian is coded Sumerian

In Geof Gray-Cobb’s book The Miracle of New Avatar Power, the Angel Arzel plays a prominent role. He is the first that is called on in every ritual, and acts as the gatekeeper of the system.
In Damon Brand’s book The 72 Angels of Magick, he is treated as a part of the Angel of Secrets, Raziel.
Some believe that he is the Enochian Angel ARZL.
In the Bible ARZ is translated as “cedar”. The Psalm that is commonly assigned to Arzel is
Ps 80:11
“The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the mighty cedars with the boughs thereof.”
There are 3 more Psalms in which the cedar is mentioned, but only in 80:11 the letters ARZI are immediately followed by AL.
Ps 29:5
“The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.”
Ps 92:13
“The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.”
Ps 104:16
“The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon which He hath planted.”
In Persian there is the word ARZ
which means “presenting itself / appearing / representing / a petition”. Considering his role in Gray-Cobb’s book, I think this seems like a very plausible root for the Name of this Angel. It certainly makes more sense than “cedar”.
Here is a Seal for Arzel, based on the Malachim alphabet. Feel free to use it when calling him who appears and represents when you are making a petition.
