Nicole Explains It All

If you are looking to bring a little more illumination, vitality, or sovereignty into your life, you have arrived at the right place. In the study of Western ceremonial magic, Sunday isn’t just for brunch and resting—it is the “Lord’s Day,” a time governed by the Sun and pulsating with the desire for wealth, vigorous health, and spiritual enlightenment.

Whether you are looking to secure the favor of higher-ups, dissolve old grudges, or simply tap into that “main character energy,” the solar current is what you need to be working with. However, navigating the hierarchy of the Sun requires precision. It is a blinding force that demands respect.

I’ve compiled a comprehensive breakdown of the spirits, perfumes, and associations necessary for Sunday operations, organized via NotebookLM for clarity. From the protective wings of Archangel Michael to the heavy, active forces of the Goetic Kings, here is your essential guide to the Spirits and Correspondences of Sunday.

In Western ceremonial magic, Sunday is the “Lord’s Day,” governed by the Sun and associated with the desire for wealth, health, authority, and enlightenment. The operations of this day are generally performed to obtain gold and gems, secure the favor of powerful people, dissolve enmities, and cure infirmities.

I. Spiritual Hierarchy

1. Angelic Rulers

• Archangel: Michael is the primary Archangel of the Sun and Sunday. (Note: While Agrippa acknowledges Michael as the solar angel, he also notes that some traditions place Raphael over the Sun and Michael over Mercury).
• Angels of the Day: Michael, Dardiel, and Huratapel.
• Angels of the Fourth Heaven: These angels rule on Sunday and are summoned from the four quarters:
  • 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 Intelligences and Spirits In the Qabalistic and Solomonic traditions, specific entities represent the mind and the raw force of the planet:

• Intelligence: Nakhiel (or Nachiel). This is the beneficent, guiding intelligence of the Sun.
• Spirit: Sorath. This is the “blind” or active force of the Sun, often associated with the number 666 and considered evil or difficult to control.
• Olympic Spirit: Och. In the Arbatel tradition (and referenced in Turiel), Och is the Lord of the Sun.
• Solar Spirits (Turiel): The Grimoire of Turiel lists the Spirits of the Sun as Gabriel, Vianathraba, and Corat.

3. Spirits of the Air The Spirits of the Air for Sunday are subject to the North Wind.

• King: Varcan (or Barkan/Arcan).
• Ministers: Tus, Andas, and Cynabal.

4. Demons

• Demon of Sunday: Surgat (sometimes Surgas). He is conjured between 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM. His office is to discover and transport treasures and make one invisible.
• Goetic Kings: The Kings of the Goetia (such as Paimon, Beleth, Bael, Asmoday, Belial, Balam, Vine, Zagan, and Purson) are attributed to the Sun.

II. Correspondences

1. Physical and Natural

• Metal: Gold.
• Colors: Yellow, Gold, and Saffron. Sometimes described as “Gold tinged with blood”.
• Stones: Diamond, Topaz, Carbuncle, Ruby, Sunstone, Chrysolite, and Hyacinth.
• Plants and Trees: Bay (Laurel), Heliotrope, Marigold, Orange, Oak, Pine, Cinnamon, Cedar, and Ash.
• Animals: Lion, Hawk (or Falcon), Cock (Rooster), and Bull.

2. Perfumes and Fumigations

• Primary: Red Sanders (Red Sandalwood) is the specific perfume for Sunday in the Heptameron tradition.
• Alternative: Saffron, Musk, Amber, Lignum Aloes, Myrrh, and Frankincense.
• Olympic Spirit Fumigation: For Och, a paste is described involving grains of black pepper, hogsbane, sulphur, bat blood, and the brains of a black cat.

3. Numbers and Names

• Numbers: 1, 6, 36, 111, 666.
• Divine Names: YHVH Eloah Vedaath (associated with Tiphareth/Sun); Adonai, Saday, Cados.

III. 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.

• Color: Like gold tinged with blood.
• Motion: Their appearance is likened to the “lightning of heaven” or the glittering of the sky.
• Physical Sign: Their presence causes the exorcist to break into a sweat.

Common Familiar Shapes:

• A King with a scepter riding a Lion.
• A King crowned.
• A Queen with a scepter.
• A Bird, a Lion, or a Cock.
• A garment of Yellow or Saffron.

IV. Rulership of Hours

The Sun rules the 1st and 8th hours of the day on Sunday, and the 3rd and 10th hours of the night.

• Note on Dynamic Function: The nature of an angel changes based on the day. For example, if Michael (Angel of the Sun) is invoked on a Monday (Moon’s day) during a Sun hour, his office is modulated by the Lunar current of that day.

Handling the Solar Fire

As you can see, the magical ecosystem of Sunday is vast. It ranges from the benevolent guidance of the Intelligence Nakhiel to the more volatile, “blind” force of Sorath (who, as noted, requires a very steady hand).

When working with these correspondences, remember the physical signs of manifestation mentioned above: the heat, the sweat, and the gold-tinged atmosphere. Solar magic is not subtle; it is immediate, burning, and incredibly potent. Whether you are burning Red Sandalwood to clear the air or donning yellow saffron silk for a ritual, ensure your intentions are as clear as the daylight you are invoking.

Until next time, stay magical.
