Doing initial studies in Angels i came across this:
"The Jewish Kabbalah saw the Divine Name [of God] as the only thing you really needed to be worried about and the idea that there might be angels connected to them was superfluous.
However, the idea that the Power of the names could be "stepped down a level" was suggested by Christian Kabbalist J. Reuchilin in his book Ve Arta Cabalistica (1517) and more widely distributed by Athanasius Kircher in his book Oedipus Aegyptiacus (1652.). The idea that they suggested was that since each Angel ended with the suffix El or Yah it was possible to convert the three lettered 72 names to angels by adding one or the other. The name of God "El" was attributed to Chesed, Mercy and "Yah" was connected to Chokmah - Wisdom.
From "The Grimoire of the Shem- A System of Angel Magick (Nick Farrell)"
Wondering to myself, why not work with the divine god names and not the step down synthetic forms?
Next step: research and contemplate the English version of the divine names.
