Mehiel belongs to the Angelic Choir of Archangels and operates under the rulership of Archangel Raphael in Hod, the sphere associated with intellect, communication, learning, and systems of thought.

Mehiel is the primary Guardian Angel for those born between 5 and 9 February, corresponding to the final five days of the second decan of Aquarius. The first quinance of this decan is ruled by Anauel, making these two angels complementary guides in transition, learning, and mental renewal.

The Qualities of Mehiel
Mehiel’s intelligence is lively, clarifying, and restorative. She brings movement where there has been stagnation and helps re-ignite enthusiasm when energy has dropped. Her guidance supports both creative expression and healing, particularly where lethargy, pessimism, or mental fatigue have taken hold.
Mehiel is especially supportive of those working in writing, publishing, broadcasting, communication, technology, and artificial intelligence. She strengthens imagination, encourages innovation, and helps ideas find the right channels through which to be expressed. Her presence often appears when it is time to stop scattering energy and begin directing it with intention.
Situations Mehiel Helps Transform
- Writer’s block and creative stagnation
- Difficulty generating or sharing content
- Lethargy, pessimism, and low vitality
- Overstimulation, poor concentration, ADHD and ADD tendencies
- Fear or resistance around technology
- Scattered goals and unfocused effort
- Periods of recovery after illness or depression
- Stalled psychospiritual development
Mehiel and the 6 of Swords
Mehiel is associated with the 6 of Swords, astrologically linked with Mercury in Aquarius in the Golden Dawn system of correspondences. This pairing brings together intellectual clarity, technological intelligence, and the capacity to move forward after a period of mental or emotional strain. Under Mehiel’s guidance, the 6 of Swords becomes a card of renewal through understanding, showing how insight, logic, and imagination can help us navigate away from stagnation and into a more balanced state of mind.
In the RWS Tarot image, figures move away from troubled waters toward calmer shores. With Mehiel in the picture, this transition is not an escape but a conscious shift. The card speaks to mental reorganisation, creative problem-solving, and the quiet relief that follows when confusion begins to settle. It often appears during recovery from illness, depression, or creative burnout, signalling that energy is returning and movement is once again possible.
Mehiel’s influence also highlights the role of thought itself in shaping experience. She teaches how to re-polarise negative thinking, transforming pessimism, self-doubt, or mental exhaustion into constructive and forward-moving ideas. Through this process, we begin to magnetise a more positive life experience, not by forcing optimism, but by allowing clarity, focus, and inspiration to re-emerge naturally.
The Three Letters of Mehiel and the Major Arcana
Mehiel’s name unfolds through three Hebrew letters: Mem, Chet, and Yod. In the Kabbalistic Tarot de Marseille framework, these correspond to the following Major Arcana cards, forming a sequence of release, ethical alignment, and renewed momentum.
- Mem — Death
Endings, shedding what no longer serves, and the renewal that follows honest release. - Chet — Justice
Balance, truth, and the ethical re-ordering of thought and action. - Yod — The Wheel of Fortune
Movement, change, and the restoration of flow through right timing.
Meditating with Death, Justice, and The Wheel of Fortune together reveals Mehiel’s deeper teaching: vitality returns when we let go honestly, align with truth, and trust the natural movement of life.
Working with the Mem-Cheh-Yoh Mantra
The Mem-Cheh-Yoh mantra is especially effective for restoring focus and creative momentum. It can be used when writing, planning, or whenever the mind begins to drift toward negativity or discouragement.
Regular use of this mantra supports psychospiritual development, speeds recovery after illness, and helps stabilise emotional and mental energy during periods of transition.
