I flipped through Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel and there’s no Shem Angel?? In which shall I find the Shem Angels?
You don’t. They’re not in those grimoires, which came much later of the European Christian tradition.
“Shem” is short for “the The Seventy-Two Angels of the Shemhamphorash”.
These are the names of god, as in Judaism it is considered a profanity to pronounce the holy ineffable name of God, and therefore a number of substitute names are used. They are based on the Jewish Torah, which is an important book in the magickal system that is the Jewish Kabbalah, an you an google for a list or you the link I provided above.
