40 Yeiazel — Angel of Comfort: Secrets & Tarot Spread

Yeiazel, the 40th Shem HaMephorash angel, is known as the Angel of Comfort. She offers companionship when the heart is heavy, inspiration has gone quiet or we cannot find the words for what we need.

Comfort can arrive through a kind conversation, a moment of beauty or the relief of finally saying something we have been holding inside. Sometimes it comes in prayer, before anything in our circumstances has changed.

Yeiazel’s connection with writing and creative expression makes her especially relevant when we feel stuck. Through her guidance, we can begin to hear ourselves again and give that inner truth a voice.

Who Is Yeiazel?

Yeiazel’s Divine attribute is God Who Rejoices. Alongside her title, Angel of Comfort, this suggests a gentle return to the possibility of joy.

When we are grieving, joy may feel very far away. Yet sorrow and consolation can share the same heart. We might still miss someone terribly while feeling grateful for the love we shared.

The Hebrew letters ייז form the 40th three-letter Divine Name: Yod–Yod–Zayin. Yoh-Yoh-Zah is the vocalisation used here for meditation on these letters. Yeiazel is the angel’s name; addressing her in prayer and chanting the Divine Name are related but distinct practices.

Yeiazel belongs to the Choir of Powers, associated in this series with Samael and Geburah. Her qualities bring compassion to this sphere of strength and discernment. Sometimes courage means speaking. Sometimes it means allowing ourselves to receive comfort.

How Yeiazel Helps

You might seek Yeiazel’s assistance with:

• Receiving comfort during grief, heartbreak or loneliness
• Finding peace when emotions feel overwhelming
• Breaking free from restrictive habits and repetitive thoughts
• Expressing feelings or needs you have struggled to name
• Returning to writing, painting, music or another creative practice
• Finding inspiration for publishing and work involving books
• Hearing your inner guidance through silence and prayer
• Recovering the courage to begin again

One of the things I appreciate about Yeiazel is the connection between comfort and creativity. When life has left us feeling numb or overwhelmed, finding a few honest words can help us reconnect with ourselves.

A private journal entry counts. So does a sketch nobody else will see. We can create simply because something within us wants expression.

There is also comfort in being understood. Saying I could do with some company gives another person a chance to meet us where we are. Prayer offers that same space for honesty with God, including the feelings we struggle to explain.

Yeiazel and the 3 of Swords

In the Golden Dawn system, the 3 of Swords corresponds with Saturn in Libra and bears the title Lord of Sorrow.

The RWS image makes that sorrow unmistakable. Three swords pierce a heart beneath a rainy sky. Yeiazel’s comfort offers a way of meeting the pain: with compassion, honest expression and willingness to receive support.

Saturn in Libra can bring difficult questions about fairness, commitment and the limits of a relationship. A conversation may be overdue. We may need to acknowledge a loss or admit that an arrangement has become unsustainable.

Yeiazel shares the second decan of Libra with Rehael, the Angel of Submission. Together, their qualities invite us to bring our difficulties before God, receive mercy and find the support we need to respond.

Yeiazel and the Art of Speaking the Right Words

Michel Perez Rizzi’s Sephardic Kabbalah Tarot de Marseille system in The 72 Names of God gives Yeiazel the theme Speak the Right Words. The corresponding triad is X Wheel of Fortune, X Wheel of Fortune and VII The Chariot.

Yes, the Wheel appears twice. Each appearance shows a different relationship with the movement of our lives.

For me, this adds another dimension to Yeiazel’s comfort. Our words can reveal what hurts, make space for help and give direction to something we have barely allowed ourselves to want.

First Yod — X Wheel of Fortune: Recognising the Pattern

The first Wheel represents the cycles we repeat automatically. Our language can become part of the machinery.

There’s no point.

I’m fine.

Whatever you want.

We can say these things so often that we stop hearing them. Meanwhile, something inside us may be asking for attention.

This Wheel invites us to pause and listen. What am I actually feeling? Does the familiar answer still fit?

Recognising a pattern gives us a little room to respond differently. That room can be the beginning of relief.

Second Yod — X Wheel of Fortune: Recognising the Deeper Desire

The second Wheel turns our attention towards what we want to cultivate and what our soul needs.

Perhaps I’m fine conceals a longing for companionship. Perhaps I’ve nothing to say comes from being tired, discouraged or afraid of being misunderstood.

As a writer, I recognise how easily the pressure to produce can drown out the impulse to create. Sometimes I need to become quiet enough to remember what I wanted to say in the first place.

Here, we bring the deeper desire into prayer. We allow ourselves to name it and ask how it might find expression in alignment with Divine Will.

Zayin — VII The Chariot: Giving Direction to Our Words

The Chariot gathers what we have recognised and gives it direction.

We begin to speak deliberately. A vague complaint becomes a clear request. An unspoken feeling becomes a conversation. A creative longing becomes the first paragraph, however untidy.

There is responsibility here, too. Honest expression asks us to consider both what we mean and how we communicate it. We can speak firmly and remain compassionate.

The movement through the trio is simple:

Recognise the automatic pattern → discern the deeper desire → speak and act with conscious direction.

Yeiazel’s comfort can help us make that movement gently. We receive enough encouragement to begin, then discover what the next step asks of us.

Bringing the Trio Back to the 3 of Swords

The pierced heart of the RWS 3 of Swords brings this movement into focus. When something hurts, our thoughts can keep circling the wound. We replay the conversation, rehearse what we should have said or struggle to put the loss into words.

The first Wheel helps us recognise that repetition. The second invites us to listen beneath it. What does the wounded heart need? Comfort, understanding, an apology, space to grieve?

The Chariot gives that need a voice and a direction. We might ask someone to sit with us, speak honestly about what happened or bring our sorrow into prayer.

This is where Yeiazel’s comfort meets the Lord of Sorrow. Finding the right words can help us receive care and stop carrying everything alone. The heart may still hurt, but there is now room for someone to meet us there.

Working With Yeiazel

Bring one situation into prayer. It might involve grief, a difficult conversation or a creative project you have lost touch with.

Read Psalm 88:14 slowly. This is a verse of lament, spoken from the experience of God’s absence. I find its honesty particularly fitting here. Even Where are You? is a prayer addressed to God.

Gently repeat Yeiazel three times or chant Yoh-Yoh-Zah. You may place the 3 of Swords or the TdM trio before you. A blue candle or pearl can also serve as a devotional focus.

Sit quietly and let the situation be present. Listen for what you have been unable to say. An image, memory or unexpected feeling may give you somewhere to begin.

If words come, write them down. If you feel moved to draw cards, allow their images to enter the conversation. Stay curious about what unfolds.

Before closing, consider one response you can carry into your day. It might be asking for company, making time to create or saying something clearly and kindly.

Prayer to Yeiazel

Yeiazel, Angel of Comfort, help me receive God’s consolation where my heart is heavy. Bring clarity to my thoughts and kindness to my words. Help me hear what longs for expression and give me courage to respond. Renew my creativity and guide my next step in alignment with Divine Will. Amen.

Yeiazel Angel of Comfort Tarot Spread

This five-card spread is for times when you need comfort, a clearer voice or renewed creative inspiration. It follows the movement from recognising what hurts to finding a fruitful way forward.

Before shuffling, bring your situation before God. Read Psalm 88:14 or gently repeat Yoh-Yoh-Zah three times. Ask Yeiazel for guidance aligned with Divine Will.

1. The Tender Place — What needs comfort and honest attention now?
2. The Old Refrain — What automatic pattern is shaping my response or expression?
3. The Soul’s Desire — What deeper desire or truth is seeking expression?
4. The Clear Voice — How can I speak or act with greater clarity?
5. Room for Renewal — What possibility for comfort or renewal might open through this response?

Notice where the images draw your attention. A gesture, colour or relationship between the cards may speak before you have found an explanation.

Read card 5 as a possibility. Comfort may arrive while a difficulty remains, perhaps through companionship, inspiration or a new understanding.

Return to card 4 and choose one manageable action. Close with gratitude to God and Yeiazel, allowing the reading to continue unfolding through prayer and daily life.
