In the study of planetary magic, Sunday is far more than a day of rest; it is the day of the Sun (Sol), the celestial King who grants life, sovereignty, and illumination to the cosmos. Governed by the golden radiance of Tiphareth on the Tree of Life, Sunday’s energy is unapologetically bold, centering on themes of supreme authority, limitless vitality, and the accumulation of wealth. Whether you are seeking to dissolve conflict, ascend to a position of leadership, or simply bask in divine benevolence, the operations of this day require a spirit as bright and unyielding as the star itself. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the spiritual hierarchy, correspondences, and ceremonial requirements for successfully working with the solar current.
Based on the sources I provided to NotebookLM, the spirits and correspondences of Sunday (the day of the Sun) are centered on authority, vitality, wealth, and divine benevolence.
I. Spiritual Hierarchy and Rulers
1. Angelic Rulers The primary Archangel governing Sunday is Michael, who represents the solar force of the divine.
- Angels of the Day: The specific angels ruling Sunday are Michael, Dardiel, and Huratapel.
- Angels of the Fourth Heaven: These angels rule on the Lord’s Day and are called from the four cardinal directions:
- East: Samael, Baciel, Atel, Gabriel, Vionairaba.
- West: Anael, Pabel, Ustael, Burchat, Suceratos, Capabili.
- North: Aiel, Aniel (or Aquiel), Masgabriel, Sapiel, Matuyel.
- South: Haludiel, Machasiel, Charsiel, Uriel, Naromiel.
2. Planetary Spirits and Intelligences In the Solomonic and Qabalistic traditions, specific entities govern the planetary energies of the Sun:
- Planetary Intelligence: Nakhiel. This entity is benevolent and represents the rational intelligence of the Sun.
- Planetary Spirit: Sorath. This is the “blind” or active force of the Sun, often associated with the number 666.
- Olympic Spirit: Och. In the Arbatel and Grimoire of Turiel traditions, Och is the Lord of the Sun.
3. Spirits of the Air For operations on Sunday, the Spirits of the Air are subject to the North Wind.
- King: Varcan (or Barkan).
- Ministers: Tus, Andas, and Cynabal.
- Alternative Hierarchy (Turiel): The Secret Grimoire of Turiel lists the Spirits of the Sun as Gabriel, Vianathraba, and Corat.
4. Demon of Sunday In the Grimorium Verum and Red Dragon traditions, the specific demon associated with Sunday is Surgat (sometimes Surgas). He is conjured between eleven and one at night and is credited with the power to discover and transport treasures.

The magical meaning of Sunday is derived from the Sun’s nature as the “Life-Giver” and “King of Stars”. Operations performed on this day are generally for:
- Wealth and Riches: Procuring gold, gems, and carbuncles.

IV. Appearance and Manifestation
When summoned, the spirits of the Sun are described as appearing in a “large, full, and great body,” often sanguine and gross, with a color like gold tinged with blood. Their presence may cause the exorcist to sweat.
Common Manifestations:
- A King with a scepter riding a lion.
- A crowned King.
- A Queen with a scepter.
- A Bird, a Lion, or a Cock.
- Wearing a yellow or golden garment.
Working with the spirits of Sunday is not a subtle endeavor; as the texts suggest, the presence of these entities is often heavy, sanguine, and radiant enough to physically affect the practitioner. When invoking the forces of the Sun—whether through the angelic protection of Michael or the treasure-seeking capabilities of Surgat—remember that this energy demands clarity of will and purity of intent. By aligning your ritual space with these golden correspondences and respecting the hierarchy of the North Wind, you tap into the ultimate source of creation and command. Step into this light with confidence, for the Sun does not plead for attention; it commands it.
