For those of us who work with phosphenes, the endogenous light of the brain, meditation is not about seeing nothing, but about witnessing the Field of Light stabilize. After decades of practice, we learn that this inner luminosity is not mere visual noise; it is the fundamental signature of consciousness sensing itself.
This practice, known in our community as the Yoga of the Inner Light, finds a powerful, forgotten bridge in the esoteric traditions of the West: the Angelic Sigil.
A sigil is not just a drawing; it is a precisely engineered geometric instruction. If you want to imprint a specific quality, like Will, Clarity, or Initiation, you need a clear, non-conceptual blueprint. The sigil of VehuiaH provides the ultimate template for the first and most powerful of these energies.
The practice of creating angelic imprints in the light you see behind your closed eyelids (phosphenes) is a powerful way to engage with the inner dimension of contemplation.
It beautifully merges ancient Kabbalistic wisdom with the modern understanding of inner light phenomena. We have described the technique of phosphene meditations in our video, hereunder.
To get started, we need to understand that the sigil of an angel like VehuiaH isn’t just a pretty drawing, it’s a profound geometric map of divine energy.
Here is a narrative deep dive into the history and meaning of VehuiaH’s unique sigil, framed for your phosphene practice.
1. The Divine Alphabet: The True Origin of the 72 Angels
If you want to work with the 72 Angels, you have to start with their ancient name: the Shem ha-Mephorash, or the “Explicit Name” of God. This isn’t a secret society’s invention; it’s a piece of deeply rooted, rigorous medieval Kabbalistic scholarship that emerged in Spain and Provence around the 12th to 13th centuries.
The Miracle at the Red Sea
The entire system of the 72 Angels is mathematically encoded in just three verses of the Bible—Exodus 14:19-21—which describe the parting of the Red Sea.
- Each of these three verses in the original Hebrew contains 72 letters.
- The Kabbalists wrote these three verses in a special boustrophedon pattern (meaning “as the ox turns”), where the first line reads right-to-left, the second line reads left-to-right, and the third line reads right-to-left again.
- By reading vertically down these three lines, they extracted 72 unique three-letter Hebrew triplets.
These 72 triplets were believed to be the pure, vibrating essence, or the emanations, of the Divine Name itself, manifesting specific forces of creation. The names, like V-H-U (Vehuiah), were born right there in the mystical geometry of the text.
2. From Name to Personality: The Birth of the Sigil
The names existed, but they weren’t yet “angels” with distinct personalities until a few centuries later.
Around the 15th and 16th centuries, the tradition was expanded by thinkers like the Christian Kabbalists. They took these 72 three-letter power-words and assigned each one a specific angelic intelligence (Vehuiah, Jeliel, Sitael, etc.). They were also connected to specific degrees of the Zodiac and given specific attributes, VehuiaH, for example, is the first in the hierarchy, associated with the power of Creation, Will, and New Beginnings.
Now that they had names and functions, they needed a visual symbol to focus that energy: the Sigil.
The Secret Geometry: How Sigils are Built
A sigil is not drawn freehand. It is mathematically generated by a powerful system that fuses two elements:
- The Angel’s Name: The letters (V-H-U) are converted into their corresponding numerical values.
- The Angel’s Planetary Association: That number sequence is then traced onto a Kamea (or magic square) that corresponds to the angel’s ruling planet.
VehuiaH is strongly associated with the planet Mars, the force of active will and dynamic energy. Therefore, its sigil is mapped onto the Mars Kamea (a 5×5 grid of numbers) . The line you see in the sigil is simply the path the letters V-H-U take as they connect their corresponding numbers on that specific square.
3. Decoding VehuiaH’s Flame-Like Sigil
The final form of the VehuiaH sigil is a masterful synthesis of two symbolic systems, resulting in what we can call a Flame Glyph.
| Graphic Element | Origin in the System | Esoteric Meaning |
| Intertwined Loop | The Malachim (Angelic) Alphabet circle | Represents the Flow of Divine Breath in motion, the spirit component. |
| Straight Line Axis | Mapping onto the Mars Kamea | Represents Will and Active Force, the action component. |
| Small End-Circles | The Node Markers on the Kamea | Mark the Points of Emanation/Entry for the energy to be focused. |
| Overall Upward Tilt | Elemental Stylization | Symbolizes VehuiaH’s place in the Fire Hierarchy ascending toward Keter (the Crown/Source). |
What you are looking at is a double structure: a line tracing the physical geometry of Mars, intertwined with a loop representing the spirit geometry of the Angelic Alphabet. The result is a simple, powerful visual metaphor: a controlled, rising flame.
VehuiaH’s Final Form
Vehuiah is the first of the 72, linked to Initiation and the Force of Creation.
- It has a looping, rising core like a flame (the letter path).
- It has a linear scaffold (the Mars geometry).
- The overall motion is an upward visual ascent from root to crown.
The sigil is a map of divine motion, drawn by tracing the Name through the alphabet of fire and wiring it into the geometry of Mars.
4. The Practice: Creating the Angelic Imprint
Now, how does this detailed map translate into your phosphene meditation practice?
Phosphenes are the natural, endogenous light patterns you see when your eyes are closed and your mind is quiet. As you deepen your meditation (The Yoga of the Inner Light), these shimmering points and clouds of light begin to organize, waiting for a structure to inhabit.
The sigil of VehuiaH provides that structure.
- Preparation: Read VehuiaH’s attributes (Creation, Will, New Beginnings). Meditate on the sigil’s meaning as a Rising Flame—an upward, powerful surge of energy.
- The Imprint: Close your eyes and allow your inner visual field to open. Gently but firmly impose the sigil onto the phosphene field as an energetic blueprint. Don’t strain to imagine it; use your Will (VehuiaH’s force) to feel the geometric pattern of the Rising Flame resting in the center of your inner sight.
- Hold the Form: The goal is to stabilize the fluid, shimmering phosphenes into the precise, clear, and replicable geometry of the sigil. When the inner light crystallizes into that form, you have successfully created an Angelic Imprint.
This act transforms the “visual noise” of the brain into a profound, intentional, and meaningful sign that you can return to again and again. You are using the universal geometry of the sigil to dial into a very specific, energetic frequency.
the Kamea of Mars can be best understood not as a mystical artifact, but as a geometric frequency map, we could understand that perhapes as a crystalline matrix designed to stabilize the raw, dynamic energy of the planet. Sometimes we can see that matrix, or at least a kind of light matrix in our phosphene meditations.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the Kamea of Mars and its function in the energetic system of the Shem ha-Mephorash.
5. More on the Kamea: A Geometric Frequency Matrix
The term Kamea (plural: Kame’ot) is a Hebrew word for “amulet” or “talisman,” but in the context of esoteric geometry, it refers specifically to a magic square.
A magic square is a grid of numbers where the sum of every row, every column, and both main diagonals is the exact same number, known as the Magic Constant. This coherence is why it’s considered a perfect container for energy, its structure is perfectly balanced and internally self-consistent.
1. The Specifics of the Mars Matrix
Every traditional planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) is assigned a unique magic square corresponding to its numerical ‘vibration’.
The Kamea of Mars is defined by its rigorous mathematics:
| Property | Value | Meaning |
| Grid Size | 5 x times 5 | The matrix contains 25 cells, using numbers 1 through 25. |
| Magic Constant | 65 | The sum of every single row, column, and main diagonal is exactly 65. |
| Grand Sum | 325 | The sum of all 25 numbers in the square is 5 x 65 = 325 |
This 5×5 grid, perfectly balanced around the number 65, is the specific vibrational housing for the forces of Mars.
2. Energetic Correspondence: The Blueprint of Will
In esoteric cosmology, Mars governs the principles of Active Will, Force, Dynamic Motion, and Initiation. It is the celestial engine of creation and the impulse that breaks stasis.
- Why Mars for VehuiaH? VehuiaH is the very first Angel of the Shem ha-Mephorash which is ruled by Mars). Its attribute is to be the force of Beginning and Creation. It is the initiating “spark.” Therefore, its energetic blueprint must be traced onto the matrix that specializes in the geometry of Pure Force and Will: the Kamea of Mars.
The Kamea acts as a geometric amplifier. By constructing the Kamea and then placing a point of focus (like a sigil) on it, one is attempting to align inner concentration with the structured, coherent, and highly energetic frequency of Martian Will.
3. Role in Sigil Generation
For a practitioner of the Inner Light, this is the most critical function:
The sigil of VehuiaH is generated by taking the numerical values of the three Hebrew letters that form its name (V-H-U) and literally connecting the corresponding numbers on the $5 \times 5$ grid of the Kamea of Mars.
- Each number in the grid represents a specific spatial location within the matrix.
- The Angel’s Name provides the sequence of numbers.
- The resulting line (the sigil) is a unique geometric path that exists only within that specific Martian frequency map.
Therefore, when you successfully imprint the VehuiaH sigil in your phosphene field, you are not just seeing a static shape. You are stabilizing a coherent geometric trace of Will that has been systematically derived from the numerical template of cosmic dynamic force. It is the perfect blueprint for initiating new field dynamics within your inner light.
