Achaiah, 7th Name of God

First painting I’ve done in,,, months! A personal piece about an angel that oversees those born on my birthday. Feels good to do a painting just for me :>

Unless u want it on a print or smthn, then by all means hit one of tha links below <3

The Seventh Spirit is Amon. He is a Marquis great in power, and most stern. He appeareth like a Wolf with a Serpents tail, vomiting out of his mouth flames of fire; but at the command of the Magician he putteth on the shape of a Man with Dog's teeth beset in a head like a Raven; or else like a Man with a Raven's head (simply). He telleth all things Past and to Come. He procureth feuds and reconcileth controversies between friends. He governeth 40 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this which is to be worn as aforesaid, etc.

(Pseudomonarchia Daemonum: Not so much a raven’s head as a night-raven’s head, that being some mythical bird variously understood as an owl, a raven, a nightjar, etc. He procures favor, not feuds, and reconciles both friends and enemies; the Goetia writers may have misread it. He’s supposed to be the strongest prince of the lot…even though he’s ranked as a marquis. Which, given the metals assigned to the ranks, is actually higher than the princes.)

(Liber Officium Spirituum: He tells secrets, rather than past and future. He can also make wild beasts tame.)

Opposing angel: Achaiah. Negative influences: inimicality towards knowledge; negligence, laziness.

It sounds a bit like Amon doesn’t like the idea of anyone having to work towards reconciliation or knowledge. Fortunately (for some), he’s there to provide the work-around. But if Achaiah was assigned to oppose him partly on account of Amon being an enemy of knowledge, it could very well be that Amon himself is cutting corners. How well do his reconciliations keep? How thoroughly does he explain secrets and tame animals? I can see him being well-meaning, but for all his power, he may just do shoddy work in the end.
