Rekhael i Ieyazel (Rehael and Ieiazel) are a paired angelic formula governing the operation of Coins—symbols of material exchange, value, and the circulation of energy in the physical world. The name Rekhael derives from the Hebrew root racham (compassion), while Ieyazel stems from yesha (salvation), together indicating a divine mechanism whereby wealth is purified through mercy and redeemed from corruption.

Position on the Tree of Life

This pair is placed at the sixth Sephirah, Tiphereth (Beauty), the central reconciling sphere on the Tree. Tiphereth harmonizes the severity of Geburah with the mercy of Chesed, and here the angelic pair acts as a conduit for the solar radiance of the Sun to infuse the realm of Coins—transforming base metal into spiritual currency.

Astrological and planetary correspondence

Tiphereth corresponds to the Sun, and thus Rekhael i Ieyazel operate under solar influence. The Sun’s qualities of generosity, vitality, and illumination are channeled through these angels to ensure that coins serve not hoarding but circulation, not greed but the sustenance of life. In astrological terms, this pair governs the ethical dimension of wealth—the point where personal gain meets universal good.

Historical context

The pairing of angels to rule Coins appears in the late Hebraic angelological traditions that influenced Renaissance occultism, particularly the Shem HaMephorash (the 72-fold Name of God) as transmitted through Kabbalistic texts. In this system, each of the 72 angelic names is assigned to a specific function, and pairs are formed to govern the 10 Sephiroth in the context of the 10 coins of the Tarot. Rekhael and Ieyazel are the sixth pair, corresponding to the sixth Sephirah. Their joint rulership implies that the handling of money must be tempered by compassion (Rekhael) and directed toward salvation (Ieyazel)—a moral framework for economic activity. The tradition was codified in the 19th century by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which integrated these angelic names into the table of correspondences found in Aleister Crowley’s Liber 777.

In the table of Liber 777, Rekhael i Ieyazel appear at scale step 6 (Tiphereth) under the column 'Pairs of Angels ruling Coins.' They are the sixth of ten such pairs, each governing a different Sephirah, and their presence here underscores the solar, harmonizing function of wealth when consecrated to divine purpose.
