Manakel is the 66th Shem HaMephorash angel, traditionally known as the Angel of Good and Evil. Her intelligence is not concerned with moral judgement or punishment, but with discernment — the capacity to perceive truth without distortion, fear, or projection.

Decan, Astrology, and Tarot Correspondence
Manakel governs the final five days of the third decan of Aquarius, together with Damabiah, who rules the first half of the decan.
The Tarot correspondence for this decan is the 7 of Swords (Moon in Aquarius) — a card concerned with strategy, vigilance, and psychological tension rather than simple dishonesty.
This placement situates Manakel’s work firmly in the mental and perceptual field: how we interpret threat, truth, and intention, both internally and externally.
Manakel and the 7 of Swords
The 7 of Swords is often reduced to deception or bad intent, and Manakel does offer protection against dishonesty, theft, manipulation, and malicious use of technology — from phishing emails to more subtle forms of psychological intrusion.
At a deeper level, however, this card speaks to hyper-vigilance.
Moon in Aquarius can manifest as emotional distancing, over-monitoring, and remaining mentally alert in order to feel safe. Over time, this state exhausts the nervous system and disrupts emotional connection.
Manakel’s role here is to restore calm discernment — not naïveté, and not suspicion, but the ability to perceive clearly without remaining in a constant defensive posture.
This is why Manakel is often associated with gut–brain axis issues, including IBS, Crohn’s, autoimmune conditions, and stress-related inflammation. Her intelligence supports regulation, grounding, and nervous system coherence.
Tarot de Marseille Major Arcana Correspondence
Death – Temperance – The Sun
Manakel’s Marseille triad reveals why she is known as the Angel of Good and Evil.
- Death (Mem): Represents severance from what no longer sustains life: outdated coping mechanisms, inherited fear patterns, and compulsive vigilance. In Manakel’s field, this is the cutting away of false beliefs rooted in fear.
- Temperance (Nun): The art of regulation and integration. Temperance restores balance to the emotional and nervous systems, allowing perception to soften without becoming careless. This is where discernment replaces suspicion.
- The Sun (Qof): Clear perception without distortion. In the Tarot de Marseille, the Sun signifies shared truth, visibility, and relational honesty — the capacity to meet others without projection once inner balance has been restored.
Together, this triad expresses Manakel’s essential work: the transmutation of fear-based perception into conscious clarity.
Psalm Associated with Manakel
Do not forsake me, O Lord;
O my God, do not be far from me.
Psalm 38:21
This psalm mirrors Manakel’s steady presence when faith has been strained by fear, resentment, or moral confusion.
Situations Manakel Can Help Transform
- Sleeplessness and night-time anxiety
- Acne and gut-related conditions
- Arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatism
- Anger or resentment toward the Divine
- Hyper-vigilance rooted in past harm
- Malicious use of technology (scams, phishing, manipulation)
- Loss of emotional calm and stability
The Meh-Noh-Koh Mantra
The mantra Meh-Noh-Koh supports nervous system regulation and perceptual clarity.
It is particularly supportive if you:
- Wake during the night and struggle to fall back asleep
- Carry resentment or suppressed anger
- Feel emotionally disconnected or chronically alert
- Notice urges toward revenge or moral rigidity
Manakel’s current helps release the need to punish — self or others — in favour of ethical calm and clear seeing.
Manakel, Duality, and the Tree of Knowledge
The concept of good and evil originates in the Tree of Knowledge, marking humanity’s awakening to moral responsibility.
Manakel embodies the stage beyond moral polarity. She neither denies shadow nor glorifies it. Instead, she assists in integrating experience without remaining trapped in fear, guilt, or self-judgment.
In this sense, Manakel reflects an integrated future self — one capable of clear perception without hardening.

To attune to Manakel’s intelligence:
