Quantum physics shows you that the world is not the hard and unchangeable thing it may appear to be. Instead, it is a very fluid place continuously built up using our individual and collective thoughts and states of being as a society, country, family, planet, solar system, or universe. We have begun to uncover the illusion.
David Cameron
Can you tell us a bit about Jophiel? She fascinates me.
Hello fierysword :) (I'm actually flattered that you've sent me an ask!)
So Jophiel. She's not one of the "seven" in my own practice, but I'd be more than happy to talk about an archangel 💫
Jophiel (Jofiel, Zophiel, Iophiel, Iofiel, Yofiel, and Yofiel) is the "beauty of God" also seen as the "Angel of Beauty". She is also regarded as a companion to Metatron
You can petition her or pray to her for:
Seeing beauty in things (such as God's creation)
Seeing beauty in God (and his holiness)
Self esteem (seeing yourself as the divine see you)
Creative inspiration
Helping your thought patterns and addictions
Joy in life
Transformation
Considering this, her domains could be conflated with Haniel's (Anael, joy of God. Harmony, poise and grace) and Zadkiel (Sachiel, angel of Mercy. Who can help with stress, anxiety etc.)
But looking to her domains, you can consider her an Archangel of gratitude, perspectives and inner thinking. A great archangel for shadow work in combination with other angels (like Zadkiel, who according to the Zohar, helps her and Michael battle evil), a very strong contender as a transformer of negative to positive thoughts
Additionally you can consider her domains to be:
Wisdom
Spiritual and religious reading
Knowledge
As Jewish tradition notes that she is the angel guarding the Tree of Knowledge with a flaming sword (sword is also attributed to Uriel, and being a wisdom archangel can be conflated with Uriel) and so she is a guardian of knowledge. She is also said to oversee Sabbath day Torah readings
She has also been written to be the angel of the seventh heaven and guardian of the Torah, who also taught 70 languages to souls at creation
As a patron angel you can call her:
Patron of Artists and Intellectuals as the angel who can bring beautiful inspiring thoughts (also attributed to Gabriel and Uriel)
Patron of Recovering People, as she can bring joy and light after darkness (also attributed to Zadkiel)
Patron of Balance (though typically attributed to Anael), as her association with bringing beauty is also associated with Feng Shui
Some systems may replace Jophiel with Raziel though places Jophiel is mentioned, other than what has been mentioned, includes:
Pseudo-Dionysus works
Kabbalah
Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum
The Veritable Clavicles of Solomon
Sixth and Seventh book of Moses
In terms of planetary correspondences, Agrippa attributes Jophiel to Saturn (Cassiel in ars paulina) and Paracelsus assigns to Jupiter (Zadkiel/Sachiel)
Robert Ambelain says Jophiel is in charge of this cherubim ("Prince of Cherubim"); Haziel, Aladiah, Lauviah, Hahaiah, Iezalel, Mehahel, Hariel, and Hakamiah
It is said that Jophiel's colour is yellow (though typically I have my own associations with colours and angels. This is just a fun fact). Though it can make sense with yellows association with illumination, the mind, the element of air and all associations to follow
Her symbol and element is fire which is for her light, illumination of knowledge and the flame that leads the way
Her day of the week is Sunday (shared with Michael).
Here's her sigil/seal you can use when working with her:
Here's a prayer you can say to her:
Dearest Archangel Jophiel, archangel of beauty and wisdom, please bless my creative endeavors.
Open my eyes that I may notice the beauty in the people around me as well in every part of Creation, including myself.
Empower me to maintain a clear mind even in times of chaos and make my mind orderly and serene. Inspire me to trust in God’s greater purpose for me and lend me the patience and the wisdom to recognize God’s beauty in every situation. — Amen

@saintlyfawn anything to add?
Hope you enjoyed this information and learnt something new! And thank you for the ask. Feel free to send more
Your deities love you.
Haven’t tidied their altars in forever? They understand.
Don’t have the motivation to give them offerings? They get it.
You haven’t left bed for a long time? They still care about you.
Aren’t devoting time to them lately? They don’t mind
Forgot an offering? That’s alright. They forgive you.
Fucked something up? They’re not going to ditch you for your mistakes.
Decide to take a break from deity work? Totally cool, they’ll still be here for you.
Your deities understand your struggles. Even your mental health related issues. They get it, and they love you regardless. Just do your best for them, and they’ll appreciate it.
I’m tired of tarot cards and tarot readers everywhere…it’s awesome but there’s just too many of ya’ll. I just want my friends list to be more diverse. If I am gonna be honest, tarot isn’t most of your forte. Most of you just aren’t good at it. And further, you set yourself up for failure doing the job that 1000 other blitches are already doing and excelling at! But the good news is there are other options!
TYPES OF DIVINATION THAT AREN’T TAROT:
☕🍷Tasseomancy: Divination from tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediment. Put that drinking or herb habit to good use!
🔮🍶🕯️ Scrying: Divination using a crystal ball (gastromancy), mirror/black mirror (catoptromancy), bowl of water (hydromancy) or other reflective surface. Can also use a flame or ashes from a spell (cineromancy/ceneromancy). Go get some full moon water and Git it.
📖 Stichomancy/Bibliomancy/Rhapsodomancy: Divination from sacred and spiritual texts. Yes, we have sacred and spiritual books that aren’t the Bible. Yes much of our oral tradition has been written down. No excuses.
✋🏾Chiromancy: Palmistry, divination through the study of the hand. There are hands all around you! You have two! Grab and go, fam, grab and go!
🌬️Capnomancy/Libanomancy: Divination through reading smoke. COME ON where my potheads at this isn’t hard. Where my cigar smokers, pipe smokers, roll a bleezy and let’s get to it!
💃🏾Pendulum Reading: Energy reading using an object or your body as the pendulum.
☠️ Osteomancy: Divination with bones, shells, and other parts of nature.
🗿💎Lithomancy: Divination with stones that have symbols drawn on them (runes, a popular British Isles practice but I’m down if you want to drawn indigenous symbols from your culture)
💰I Ching Divination: Utilizes coins and yarrow stalks. You should probably only bust out Chinese coins with holes if you are in some way Chinese FYI. But why not use coins from your hometown? We all have coins laying in the sofa cushions! We all have native twigs in the grass outside!
🏚️🔠 Spirit Boards: Divination with a talking board–the most commonly called a Ouija board. Used since Ancient times (China, Africa, Greece) and for much more than talking to demons. Like please just stop obsessing with the devil lmao.
⚕️Dowsing Rod: A spiritual stick used for fortelling and finding. I’ve seen a million crystal “wands” being sold by blitches, go get one and do this thing!
☁️🌨️Nephomancy: Divination of the clouds. They are beautiful. Best of all…they are free and you don’t have to store them. My husband just reminded me that an episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender was based on a woman who read the clouds ⛅
🌌✨Sortilege: Also called casting lots, ancient form of divination that is quite mysterious and open for interpretation. Found in the Bible 70+ times (most notably to throw Jonah to the whale) it involves taking a group of relevant objects and casting them for the truth. The objects can range from items to paper with words or symbols written on them. Typically all items are placed in a bag and you draw them out one at a time.
☀️🌅🌦️Heliomancy/Solaromancy : Divination of the rays and movement of the sun. We can all see the sun, really this one sounds easy. Why is none of you with Rah on your name jumped on this?
🌓🌔🌕 Selenomancy: Step 1, go outside and look at the moon. Step 2, ______. Step 3, profit. But for real ya’ll love the moon, go read her!
👨🏾👩🏿Physiognomy: Divination through facial reading. You seen faces before! Read them!
😪😴Narcomancy: Divination while sleeping /dreaming.
🌿🍃Phylomancy: Divination of leaves. Your divination pics will never look the same twice! Plus this is another free one!
🛣️Symbolomancy: Divination of things found on the road. I’d follow an IG of someone who did THAT in a meaningful way!
I hope this list inspires you to just jump in and try something new. Stop waiting for a teacher and just PRACTICE. The same way you all are doing with tarot. Feel bold and like you can practice something else…hell make up your own pieces and ways. Blaze a goddamn trail.
Signed,
Tahtahme

This is a modified version of the salt bowls I created for my home this morning. I kept some stuff to myself for privacy reasons. Correspondences are random/ important to me but not necessarily agreed upon by everyone. Feel free to use ingredients that make sense for you based on their purpose.
Uses: place in a discreet location (so it won’t be disturbed) in various rooms throughout your home to cleanse, banish negativity, and provide protection. This particular recipe focused on cleansing/ banishing negativity and bringing an overall sense of peace and love to the home
Materials: *feel free to substitute or add herbs based on your needs.
-small bowls, one for each room
-salt: protection and purification
-Himalayan salt: protection, peace
-Ground egg shells: grounding, protection
-Juniper Berries: warding off evil
-Lavender: calm, peace
-Incense Ash: protection
-Bay Leaves: prosperity
-Sage essential oil: protection, banishing negativity
-sharpie to write on bay leaves
-mortar and pestle (optional)
Method
1. Raise your energy, set your space, and call upon any outside forces as you see fit.
2. Write hopes, wishes, desires, sigils, runes, whatever you see fit to set intentions on your bay leaves. Add one bay leaf per bowl.
3. Mix all other ingredients minus the essential oils into a mortar and pestle. Focus on intention and call upon anyone again as you’re grinding. Pour into small bowls. (you can mix in a larger bowl and distribute to smaller bowls without grinding if a mortar and pestle is not available)
4. Add one drop of essential oil per small bowl
5. Hold hand over each bowl in turn, transfer your energy, invoke the Gods, elements, and components of the spell to work together to bring peace, calm, and safety to each room (invoke on whatever energies you originally called upon or whatever you see fit)
Now your bowls are ready to be distributed around your home! I did one per major room (bedroom, office, kitchen, living room) You can do as many or as little as you choose! Be sure to properly dispose of ingredients, cleanse the bowls, and start over any time you feel they are becoming less effective, or if negativity has unexpectedly built up in your space.
