Zachariel is a regent prince of the Second Heaven and the Choir
of Dominions. He has traditionally been invoked to grant
the gift of a good memory. While Gabriel, as planetary
ruler of the Moon, governs the mechanics of the brain,
which include the faculty of memory, and Cassiel rules long-term
memory, Zachariel can improve the quality of memory. Memory
is a crucial function, not just as an organizing tool to remind us what
and where things are, but as fair witness of all we have neen and
what we have done, in order that we can recognize our faults and change
for the better.
Achieving greater consciousness is the goal of all seekers.
Then our awareness can be fully informed by our store of
knowledge, knowlede that the heart can then transmute into
wisdom. This is the quality of memory that Zachariel can
afford us.
In the name of the almighty Creator,
Who gives consciousness to all living things,
I beseech you, great Angel Zachariel,
Who is given by the One to govern the quality of memory,
To impart to me depth and clarity of recall,
That I may be fair witness to all I experience,
For the good of all and the harm of none,
I honour and thank you for granting me this wish,
In the name of the Almighty.
This invocation is enhanced by burning white candles and burning
rosemary - herb or oil - as this plant can restore memory and is sacred
to Zachariel.
