The Angel of Motivation and Renewal

Sehaliah (also known as Sealel or Sealiah) is the radiant force that reignites our enthusiasm when life grows stagnant. His name can also mean “God Who Stirs All Things”—a fitting title for a celestial being who revives our willpower and restores divine vitality. Those who feel drained, discouraged, or disconnected from purpose can call upon Sehaliah to restore their inner spark and sense of direction.

As a member of the Choir of Virtues, under Archangel Michael’s solar rulership, Sehaliah infuses the human heart with courage, clarity, and drive. He governs the first quinance of the second decan of Scorpio and shares this rulership with the angel Ariel. His sacred hour is between 2:40 and 3 p.m., though his presence may be invoked whenever renewed vitality is needed.

Sehaliah’s Qualities and Assistance

Those born between 3–7 November have Sehaliah as their primary Guardian Angel, guiding their physical and material development in this lifetime. Beyond his role as a guardian, Sehaliah’s influence extends to anyone seeking to overcome inertia and rediscover a sense of divine purpose.

Sehaliah helps with:

Awakening motivation, focus, and enthusiasm
Restoring balance and vitality to the life force
Strengthening willpower and self-belief
Success after setbacks or illness
Recovering rights or reclaiming lost opportunities
Revealing the truth behind deception or treachery
Clearing blockages to prosperity and abundance
Teaching the spiritual laws of true prosperity
Inspiring learning and intellectual growth
Expanding consciousness and removing guilt around finances
Teaches the art of receiving
Mastering the four elements and living in harmony with them
Seeing the beauty in life and reconnecting with hope
Healing through pure intention and kindness

Sehaliah’s energy acts as a divine stimulant—not the fleeting kind that burns out quickly, but the inner flame that rekindles purpose and helps you move forward with joy.

The 6 of Cups and Sehaliah’s Light

The Tarot’s 6 of Cups (Sun in Scorpio) captures Sehaliah’s essential teaching: how to draw motivation and meaning from our emotional past without becoming trapped by it. This card speaks of nostalgia, memory, and the soul’s longing for innocence. When reversed or heavy, it can reveal a reluctance to grow—an emotional loop that needs clearing.

Sehaliah helps us transmute those memories into wisdom and strength. Just as the Sun illuminates Scorpio’s deep waters, this angel brings light into the emotional body, transforming longing into purpose. Through his influence, we recover our vitality, forgive ourselves for the past, and find joy in creating something new.

When this card appears in a reading, it may be a sign that Sehaliah is inviting you to return to your true motivation—not the one shaped by expectation or fear, but the one born of your divine spark.

Working with Sehaliah

You can invoke Sehaliah by lighting a violet or magenta candle and reciting Psalm 94:18, focusing on the words “thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.” Chant his mantra Sah-HAH-Lah rhythmically while visualising a radiant magenta-violet light surrounding you. Feel this light filling your solar plexus, awakening your willpower and courage.

For those recovering from illness or emotional fatigue, meditate on Sehaliah’s colours. Visualise him standing behind you, one hand on your heart and one on your back, infusing you with vitality.
