Meet Menadel, the Angel of Work
Menadel, the 36th Shem Ha Mephorash, is known as the Angel of Work. She guides us to find meaning, steadiness, and moral courage in our daily service. Her name means “The Honourable God,” pointing to integrity as the heart of vocation. Primary Guardian for those born 18–23 September, Menadel corresponds with the 10 of Pentacles (Sun in Virgo) and serves within the Choir of Powers under Archangel Samael (Geburah)—the current where discipline, protection, and right action meet.

When Menadel Walks Beside You
If you’re seeking purpose, courage at work, or relief from the grinding fear that keeps you stuck, Menadel’s current is fortifying without being harsh. She refines effort, clears interference, and helps you love your work because you can feel its rightful place in the wider pattern of your life. Her aura blends the warm steadiness of the Sun in Virgo with the no-nonsense backbone of Geburah—clarity, boundaries, and genuine devotion.

Simple Ways to Connect
Menadel’s mantra is “Meh-Noh-Dah.” Props are optional, but you can light a pink or coral candle with a Carnelian beside it, then recite Psalm 26:8 as an opening key:
“LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, And the place where thine honour dwelleth.”
Follow with her name chanted gently (e.g., 3 or 9 times), asking for help to align your work with honour, usefulness, and good order.

The Angel of Work and the 10 of Pentacles
Tarot Link: 10 of Pentacles (Sun in Virgo) and Menadel
The 10 of Pentacles is legacy made visible—craft, kin, community, and continuity. Menadel infuses this card with the ethics that make legacy worth leaving: honour, usefulness, and care. Where Chevakiah (ruling alongside Menadel in the third decan of Virgo) leans into reconciliation, family harmony, and the wise distribution of resources, Menadel secures the vocational backbone that sustains those bonds over time. Chevakiah heals the relationships that wealth and work affect; Menadel sanctifies the work that nourishes those relationships. Together, they outline a full picture of Virgo’s harvest: right relationship supported by right vocation.
The Angel of Work Tarot Spread: Guidance from Menadel
When you need a decisive shift or greater stability in your work-life, invite Menadel to stand at your right hand before laying the cards. Begin with Psalm 26:8, then chant “Meh-Noh-Dah” nine times, asking for honour, courage, and steady hands. Journal briefly before and after—Menadel appreciates specifics, practical follow-through, and clear intent.
