Lekabel i Vashariya are a paired angelic name, appearing in certain Hebrew angelological traditions as joint rulers over the domain of coins—specifically, over the material and symbolic power of minted currency, its circulation, and its just distribution. The name Lekabel (Lekabel) is often interpreted as "God who receives" or "God who accepts," while Vashariya (Vasharia) may derive from a root meaning "to bind" or "to unite," together suggesting a function of gathering and binding wealth under divine order.

Position on the Tree of Life

This pair is assigned to the eighth sephirah, Hod (Splendor), on the Tree of Life. Hod is the sphere of intellect, communication, and the formal structures that govern exchange—including commerce, law, and the symbolic systems that give coins their value. As rulers of coins in Hod, Lekabel i Vashariya represent the angelic oversight of economic transactions, ensuring that the flow of currency aligns with cosmic justice and intellectual clarity.

Astrological and planetary correspondence

Hod corresponds to the planet Mercury (כוכב). Mercury rules communication, trade, and the rational ordering of resources. Thus, Lekabel i Vashariya operate within the Mercurial current: their influence is quick, analytical, and concerned with the equitable exchange of value. Coins under their rule are not mere metal but tokens of agreement, subject to the divine mathematics of Hod.

Historical context

The pairing of angels to rule coins appears in several late medieval and Renaissance grimoires, most notably in the Clavicula Salomonis (Key of Solomon) and its derivatives, where lists of angelic names are given for each day, hour, or planetary sphere. The specific names Lekabel and Vashariya are less common than the more famous angelic rulers of the hours, but they surface in manuscripts that expand the Solomonic tradition into detailed hierarchies of spirits governing material wealth. In these sources, they are invoked for the purification of money, the recovery of lost treasure, or the blessing of commercial ventures. The pairing itself—two angels acting as a single authority—reflects the dual nature of coinage: a physical object (metal) and a social contract (value).

In Liber 777

In Aleister Crowley's Liber 777, Lekabel i Vashariya appear in the table row for "Pairs of Angels ruling Coins" at the scale step of Hod (8). They are the eighth in a series of ten pairs, each corresponding to a sephirah, and their placement here anchors the concept of coin-ruling angels within the Mercurial sphere of Splendor.
