Lauviah is the 17th of the 72 Shem HaMephorash angels and is known as the Angel of Revelation. His name means “The Admirable God” or “The Praised God,” and his gift is the illumination of hidden truths. Lauviah helps us see beyond appearances, uncover the deeper meaning behind our experiences, and reconnect with the wisdom of the soul.
As the guardian of the first quinance of the third decan of Gemini, Lauviah guides those born between 11 and 15 June. His influence is particularly powerful during periods of confusion, emotional darkness, or spiritual questioning. When life feels overwhelming or when the mind becomes trapped in pessimism and fear, Lauviah helps us discover the revelation concealed within the challenge.
He is often associated with dreams, intuition, inspiration, philosophy, science, music, and all forms of higher knowledge. Through his guidance, suffering can become understanding, and understanding can become wisdom.

He can assist with clearing:
- Gloom and pessimism

Working with Lauviah
The mantra associated with this angel is:
Lah-Ah-Vah
Chanting the mantra can help calm mental turbulence, lift heavy moods, and strengthen intuitive perception. It is particularly useful when seeking guidance through dreams or when searching for answers that seem just beyond conscious awareness.
Aquamarine can be used to strengthen your connection with Lauviah’s energy, particularly during meditation, dream work, journaling, or prayer.
Before sleep, you may wish to recite Psalm 8:1 and silently repeat the mantra Lah-Ah-Vah while asking for guidance, healing, or revelation. Keep a notebook nearby to record any dreams or insights received during the night.
Lauviah and the 10 of Swords
Lauviah corresponds with the 10 of Swords, the Tarot card associated with the Sun in Gemini.
This card is often misunderstood because its imagery appears bleak. Yet beneath the apparent defeat lies one of the most important truths in Tarot: every ending creates the conditions for a new beginning.
The 10 of Swords represents the moment when a painful cycle has reached its conclusion. There is nothing left to endure, defend, or resist. The worst has already happened. The dawn is already breaking on the horizon.
This is where Lauviah’s revelation becomes most powerful.
He helps us recognise that suffering often persists because we continue identifying with old stories, old wounds, and old fears. Once we see these patterns clearly, their hold begins to weaken.
Lauviah reminds us that what appears to be an ending may actually be a liberation.
When working with the 10 of Swords, Lauviah can help us:
- Understand the deeper meaning behind painful experiences
- Release limiting beliefs
- Recover hope after disappointment
- Find clarity after confusion
- Rebuild trust in ourselves
- Discover new purpose following loss
Lauviah and the Great Escape: Hanged Man → Magician → Lover
The Tarot de Marseille sequence associated with Lauviah is:
XII The Hanged Man → I The Magician → VI The Lover
This interpretation draws upon the work of Michel Perez Rizzi in The 72 Names of God, where Lauviah is associated with liberation from what he calls “the prison of the ego.”
The Hanged Man represents the condition of being trapped by false perceptions, limiting beliefs, external validation, or habitual patterns. We believe we are acting freely, yet we remain bound by unconscious conditioning.
The Magician marks the awakening of conscious will. We recognise that we are not our fears, reactions, or social masks. Personal power begins to return.
The Lover completes the process through conscious choice. No longer driven by fear or egoic needs, we choose relationships, values, and actions that reflect our authentic nature.
Together, these three cards describe what Rizzi calls “The Great Escape”—the liberation of the soul from false identification and the return to genuine freedom.
This sequence beautifully complements the 10 of Swords. Both speak of release, awakening, and the discovery of a more authentic way of being.
The Great Escape Tarot Spread
Before laying out the cards, spend a few moments chanting the mantra Lah-Ah-Vah or meditating on Psalm 8:1. Ask Lauviah to reveal any patterns, beliefs, or fears that are obscuring your true path.
1. The Prison
What belief, attachment, or pattern currently limits my freedom?
2. The Revelation
What truth is ready to be revealed?
3. The Release
What must be surrendered or allowed to end?
4. The Hidden Gift
What strength or wisdom has been developing beneath the surface?
5. The Great Escape
What step aligns me with my true will and highest path?
Closing Thoughts
Lauviah teaches that revelation is not merely the discovery of hidden information. It is the recovery of our true nature.
When we are trapped in fear, pessimism, grief, or the need for external validation, we can lose sight of who we really are. Lauviah’s light helps us see beyond these temporary conditions and reconnect with the deeper wisdom of the soul.
The revelations he brings are not always comfortable, but they are liberating.
By working with the mantra Lah-Ah-Vah, the wisdom of Psalm 8:1, and the guidance of the Tarot, we can move beyond limitation and discover the freedom that has been waiting beneath the surface all along.

The patterns you see happening in the current world, should be enough stimulation for people to start to think and talk about where we are, why we are here and where we need to go. Internal development is necessary to get ahead.
Agreed.
