The 5 of Wands – Strife represents the first decade of the sacred calendar, July 22 to August 1. The first decan of Leo is ruled by two Angels of the Shemhamphorash.
1 VEHUIAH
His attribute is interpreted as “God elevated and exalted above all things“. He rules over the Hebrews. The name of God in that language is called Jehovah. He governs the first five degrees Leo which begin at midnight on July 22 until the 27th, corresponding to the first decade of the sacred calendar, and to the first angel, called Chontare, under the influence of Mars: this angel, and those which follow up to the 8th one, belong to the First Order of Angels which the Orthodox call the Choir of the Seraphim. He inhabits the realm of fire: his sign is Leo, and he rules the following five days: 13th April, 24th June, 4th September, 15th November, 26th January. His invocation is made towards the East, from midnight exactly until 12:20am, to receive light.
It is by virtue of these divine names that one may become illuminated by the spirit of God; one must pronounce them from midnight precisely until 12:20, reciting the third verse of Psalm 3:
“But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head”
“Et tu Domine susceptor meus et gloria mea et exaltans caput meum”.
His talisman must be prepared according to the principles of the kabbalistic art.
The person who is born under the influence of this angel has a skillful nature; being blessed with great wisdom, a lover of the Arts and Sciences, capable of undertaking and executing the most difficult things; having a love for military service, due to the influence of Mars; having abundant energy, due to the dominance of fire.
The bad angel influences turbulent men; and rules over promptness and anger.
2 JELIEL
His attribute is “Helpful God“. He rules over Turkey (these people give God the name of Aydy). His ray begins from the 6th degree until the 10th of Leo (July 27 till August 1), corresponding to the influence of the angel called Asican and to the first decade. He presides over the following days: 14th April, 25th June, 5th September, 16th November, 27th January.
One invokes this angel to calm popular sedition, and to obtain victory over those who would attack you unjustly. One must pronounce the request with the name of the angel and recite the 20th verse of Psalm 21:
“But be thou not far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me”
“Tu autem Domine ne elongaveris auxilium tuum a me ad defensionem meam conspice”.
The favourable hour begins at 12:20am up to 12:40am.
This angel rules over kings and princes, and keeps their subjects obedient; he has influence over the generation of all beings which exist in the animal realms; he reestablishes peace between spouses and maintains conjugal fidelity. Those born under this influence have a cheerful spirit, agreeable and genteel manners; they are passionate in sex.
The bad angel dominates everything detrimental to animate beings; it delights in sundering spouses by distracting them from their duties; he inspires a taste for celibacy, and bad morals.
