Angel Bible
Michael (Beshter, Mika'il, Sabbathiel)
Fire Element / South
Meaning - "Who is like God", "Like unto God", "Who is like the Divine"
The first Angel created by God, Michael is the leader of all the
Archangels and is in charge of protection, courage, strength, truth
and integrity.  Michael protects us physically, emotionally and
psychically.  He also oversees the lightworker's life purpose.  His
chief function is to rid the earth and its inhabitants of the toxins
associated with fear.  Michael carries a flaming sword that he uses
to cut through etheric cords and protects us from Satan and negative
entities.  When he's around you may see sparkles or flashes of bright
blue or purple light.  Call on Michael if you find yourself under
psychic attack or if you feel you lack commitment, motivation and
dedication to your beliefs, courage, direction, energy, vitality,
self-esteem, worthiness.  Michael helps us to realize our life's
purpose and he's invaluable to lightworkers helping with protection,
space clearing and spirit releasement.

Michael conquered the fallen Angel Satan, was in the Garden of Eden
to teach Adam how to farm and care for his family, spoke to Moses on
Mount Sinai and in 1950 he was canonized as Saint Michael, "the
patron of Police Officers," because he helps with heroic deeds and
bravery.  Michael also has an incredible knack for fixing electrical
and mechanical devices, including computers and automobiles.  If your
automobile breaks down, call on Michael.

Michael helps us to follow our truth without compromising our
integrity and helps us to find our true natures and to be faithful to
who we really are.  Other times when you may find Michael helpful is
when your job is too demanding with impossible deadlines to reach,
when you have an addiction, if you're very ill and suffering from a
degenerative disease or terminal illness and when you suffer from
nightmares

Raphael (Labbiel)
Air Element / East
Meaning - "Healing power of God", "The Divine has healed", "God heals"
Hebrew word rapha means "doctor" or "healer".  Raphael is a powerful
healer and assists with all forms of healing - humans and animals.  
He helps to rapidly heal body, mind and spirit if called upon, as in
the biblical story of Abraham and the pain he felt after being
circumcised as an adult.  You may call upon Raphael in behalf of
someone else, but he can't interfere with that person's free will.  
If they refuse spiritual treatment, it can't be forced.

The chummiest and funniest of all Angels, Raphael is often pictured
chatting merrily with mortal beings.  He's very sweet, loving, kind
and gentle and you know that he's around when you see sparkles or
flashes of green light.

Part of Raphael's healing work involves spirit releasement and space
clearing.  He often works with Michael to exorcise discarnate
entities and escort away lower energies from people and places.

As well as a healer, Raphael is known as the "Patron of Travelers"
because of his help with Tobias and his travels.  Call upon Raphael
when you are traveling, to assure safe travel.  In addition, he
assures that all your transportation, lodging and luggage details go
miraculously well.  Raphael also helps with inward spiritual
journeys, assisting in searches for truth and guidance.

Raphael taught Tobias how to make balms and ointments from a fish
which cured Tobias' father blindness.  Raphael can be called upon to
help healers such as doctors, therapist and surgeons.  Call on
Raphael if you're a student entering the healing field and you're
looking for the right school and/or are in need of help with studies,
as well as getting the time and money for school.  He also assists
with establishing healing practices when your schooling is finished.  
Raphael not only helps you to heal from physical, emotional and
mental pain, he also heals wounds from past lives.

Other areas Raphael helps with is finding lost pets, reducing and
eliminating addictions and cravings, clairvoyance, bringing unity to
your life, if you feel out of touch with your spirituality, if you've
lost a partner and/or your soul/body doesn't feel "whole".  

Gabriel (Abruel, Jibril, Jiburili, Serafili)
Water Element / West
Meaning - "Strength of God"; "The Divine is my strength"; "God is my
strength"
The only Archangel depicted as female in art and literature, Gabriel
is known as the "messenger" Angel and is one of the four Archangels
named in Hebrew tradition and is considered one of the two highest-
ranking Angels in Judeo-Christian and Islamic religious lore. Apart
from Michael, she is the only Angel mentioned by name in the Old
Testament.  She is a powerful and strong Archangel, and those who
call upon her will find themselves pushed into action that leads to
beneficial results.

Gabriel can bring messages to you just as she did to Elizabeth and
Mary of the impending births of their sons, John the Baptist and
Jesus of Nazareth. If you are considering starting a family, Gabriel
helps hopeful parents with conception or through the process of
adopting a child.

Contact Gabriel if your third eye is closed and your spiritual vision
is therefore blocked. If you wish to receive visions of Angelic
guidance regarding the direction you are going in. If you wish to
receive prophecies of the changes ahead. If you need help in
interpreting your dreams and vision.

Gabriel helps anyone whose life purpose involves the arts or
communication. She acts as a coach, inspiring and motivating artists,
journalist and communicators and helping them to overcome fear and
procrastination.

Gabriel also helps us to find our true calling. Ask for Gabriel's
guidance if you have strayed from your soul's pathway, if you wish to
understand your life plan and purpose. She can also help if you can
find no reason for being or if changes are ahead and you need
guidance. If you are contemplating a house move, major purchase or
thinking of changing careers.

Call Gabriel if your body is full of toxins and needs purifying and
if your thoughts are impure or negative and need clearing and
cleansing. Gabriel is also very helpful for women who have been raped
or sexually assaulted and feel dirty as well as being under psychic
attack or if you feel that you have absorbed someone else's problems.

Uriel (Auriel)
Earth Element / North
Meaning - "God is light", "God's light", Fire of God"
Uriel is considered one of the wisest Archangels because of his
intellectual information, practical solutions and creative insight,
but he is very subtle.  You may not even realize he has answered your
prayer until you've suddenly come up with a brilliant new idea.

Uriel warned Noah of the impending flood, helped the prophet Ezra to
interpret mystical predictions about the coming Messiah and delivered
the Cabal to humankind.  He also brought the knowledge and practice
of alchemy and the ability to manifest from thin air, as well as
illuminates situations and gives prophetic information and warnings.  
All this considered, Uriel's area of expertise is divine magic,
problem solving, spiritual understanding, studies, alchemy, weather,
earth changes and writing.  Considered to be the Archangel who helps
with earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, natural
disaster and earth changes, call on Uriel to avert such events or to
heal and recover in their aftermath

In the eighth century, the Christian Church became alarmed at the
rampant and excessive zeal with which many of the faithful were
revering Angels.  For some unknown reason, in 145 A.D. under Pope
Zachary, a Roman council ordered seven Angels removed from the ranks
of the Church’s recognized Angels, one of them being Uriel.  

Chamuel (Camael, Camiel, Camiul, Camniel, Cancel, Jahoel,  Kemuel,
Khamael, Seraphiel, Shemue)
Meaning - "He who sees God", "He who seeks God"
The Archangel of pure love, Chamuel can lift you from the depths of
sorrow and find love in your heart.  Chamuel helps us to renew and
improve existing relationships as well as finding our soul mates.  He
works with us to build strong foundations for our relationships (as
well as careers) so they're long-lasting, meaningful and healthy.  
You'll know he's with you when you feel butterflies in your stomach
and a pleasant tingling in your body.

If there's a breakdown of your relationship, if you cling to your
relationships and don't allow your companion the freedom to be able
to express themselves freely, call on Chamuel for guidance and
support.  The other areas you can Chamuel can help is if you need to
strengthen a parent-child bond, if you're unable to feel love for
yourself or others, if your heart has hardened and is full of
negative emotions, if you have lost someone close through death or
separation, if you and your children have experienced a divorce, if
your heart is blocked with depression, hopelessness and despair, if
you feel lonely and broken hearted, if you need to be loved, if you
are judgmental and cynical or if you don't appreciate the love that
you have in your life.

Chamuel can also help with world peace, career, life purpose and
finding lost items.

Jophiel (Iofiel, Iophiel, Jofiel, Zophiel)
Meaning - "Beauty of God"
Jophiel was the Angel present in the Garden of Eden and later watched
over Noah’s sons.  The Archangel of art and beauty, he is the patron
of artists, helping with artistic projects, thinking beautiful
thoughts, to see and appreciate beauty around us.  Helping to create
beauty at home and at work, Jophiel is the Archangel for interior
decorators.   He illuminates our creative spark by giving us ideas
and energy to carry out artistic ventures.  He also helps us to see
the beauty in all things, including people.

As well as helping our creativity, Jophiel helps us to slow down and
smell the roses.  Call on him if you need joy and laughter in your
life or if you feel you’ve lost the light in your life.  He will also
help if your soul is sleeping and needs awakening and if you wish to
awaken a deeper understanding of who you are and seeking a connection
with the higher self, so that you may take your first steps along
your spiritual pathway.  

You know Jophiel is at work if you are searching for answers to the
questions in your life and wish the greater wisdom to be revealed to
you, and all of a sudden you experience flashes of insight in which
everything suddenly becomes clear.  

Raguel (Akrasiel, Raguil, Rasuil, Rufael, Suryan)
Meaning -  "Friend of God"
Referred to as the Archangel of Justice and Fairness, Raguel oversees
all the other Archangels and Angels.  He watches over them to make
sure they’re working well together in a harmonious and orderly
fashion according to Divine order and will.

Raguel is the Archangel for the underdog.  Call on him for help when
you need to be  empowered and respected.  He helps to resolve
arguments, helps with cooperation and leads to harmony in groups and
families.  Raguel defends the unfairly treated, and provides support
with mediation of disputes.

In the Revelation of John, Raguel is referred to as an assistant to
God in the following account: "Then shall He send the Angel Raguel,
saying: Go and sound the trumpet for the Angels of cold and snow and
ice, and bring together every kind of wrath upon them that stand on
the left."

Despite his exalted position, for some unexplained reason Raguel was
reprobated in 745 A.D. by the Roman church (along with some other
high-level Angels, including Uriel).  At this time Pope Zachary
described Raguel as a demon who "passed himself off as a saint".

Ariel
Cabalistic
Ariel means "lion of God" and is often associated with lions.  When
Ariel is near you, you may begin seeing references to or visions of
lions around you.  Ariel is also associated with the wind.  Found in
books of Judaic mysticism and Cabalistic, Ariel works closely with
King Solomon in conducting manifestation, spirit releasement and
Divine magic.

Ariel also oversees the sprites, the nature Angels associated with
water.  Ariel is involved with healing and protecting nature,
including animals, fish and birds.  If you find an injured bird or
other wild animal that needs healing, call upon Ariel for help.  
Ariel also works closely with Raphael to heal animals in need.  

Although he is described as a member of the Angelic hierarchy, he is
also at times placed among the evil Angels as one of the fallen
Angels who are routed by the stern and obedient seraph Abdiel during
the war in heaven.

Azrael
Hebrew, Muslim
The much feared Angel of death in both Islamic and Hebrew lore,
Azrael’s name means “whom God helps.”  Azrael’s primary role is to
help people cross over to Heaven at the time of physical death.  He
comforts people prior to their physical passing, makes sure they don’
t suffer during death and helps them assimilate on the other side.  
Working as a grief counselor, he surrounds grieving family members
with healing energy and helps them cope and thrive, and absorbs their
pain.

Azrael has eyes and tongues exactly equal to the number of people
inhabiting the world.  Each time he blinks one of his eyes, it
signifies that another person has died.  Azrael also keeps track of
the dying by recording the births of the living and erasing the names
of those who have died.

Camael
Cabalistic
Camael, his name meaning "he who sees God", he is listed as one of
the seven truly powerful Angels who have the great honor of standing
in the very presence of God.  Originally the God of War in Druid
mythology, he is frequently referred to as the ruler of the planet
Mars, as well as one of the governing Angels of the seven planets. In
Cabalistic lore he is considered one of the ten Archangels.  
According to Jewish custom, Camael serves as the mediator, taking
prayers of Israel before the Angelic princes residing in the seventh
heaven.  

Haniel
Babylonian, Cabalistic
Haniel's name means "the grace of God" and is generally credited with
the title of prince or chief of the Angelic orders or choirs of the
principalities and virtues.  For this reason, Haniel is listed in
some lists as one of the seven Archangels.  Some Cabalistic texts
credit Haniel as escorting Enoch to the spirit world where he was
transformed into the Angel Metatron, being on of the only two humans
to ever become Angels (his brother Elijah being the other).
Haniel helps us to uncover the lost secrets of natural healing
remedies such as potions, powders and crystals.  He will help you
with whenever you need to speak in public and helps you to remain
poised and centered.  You can also call on Haniel to help bring
beauty, harmony and loving friends into your life.

Jeremiel (Ramiel)
In ancient Judaic texts, Jeremiel is listed as one of the seven core
Archangels, his name meaning ("mercy of God" or "whom God sets up").  
He is credited with helping Baruch, a prolific author of apocryphal
Judaic texts in the first century A.D., with his prophetic visions.
It is also said that he took Baruch on a tour of the different levels
of Heaven.  The coming of the Messiah was one of Jeremiel's visions.
Jeremiel is that Archangel who review's our lives with us after we've
crossed over.  He is also able to do this for us while we're still
living, helping us to review our life up till now so we can correct
the wrongs we've done by making positive adjustments.  Through this,
he's able to help us make life changes, making us stronger and lead
us to the right path.

Jeremiel also helps us with clairvoyance and prophetic visions, and
helps us to interpret psychic dreams.

Metatron
Judaic, Cabalistic
One of the only two Archangels whose name does not end in "el" and
one of the only two Archangels who were humans before becoming Angels
(his brother Elijah/Sandalphon being the other).  His human name was
Enoch.  The meaning of Metatron is unclear, but some believe it means
"he who occupies the throne next to the Divine throne", "the Angel of
the Presence" or that his name is a derivation of the name Yahweh,
the Jewish term for the unspoken sacred name of God.
One of the most important Angels in the Western tradition, he
represents the supreme Angel of death, to whom God daily gives orders
as to which souls will be taken that day. Metatron transmits these
orders to his subordinates Gabriel and Sammael.

On earth Enoch was a prophet and scribe.  He was also a scholar on
heavenly secrets, having received "The Book of the Angel Raziel", a
textbook about God's workings penned by Archangel Raziel and given to
Adam, Noah, Enoch and Solomon. As a result, God escorted Enoch
directly to the seventh Heaven - the highest level - to reside and
work. Enoch was given wings and transformed into a great Archangel
named Metatron.

Since Metatron excelled at his work on earth, he was given a similar
job in Heaven to scribe the records of everything that happens on
earth and keep the Akashic records, which is the "Book of Life". He
is the chief recorder in Heaven and in charge of recording and
organizing all the records. He helps us understand Heaven's
perspective and to learn how to work with the Angelic realm.

He has a special place in his heart for children, especially those
who are spiritually gifted. After the Exodus, Metatron led the
children of Israel through the wilderness and into safety. He
continues to lead children today, both on Earth and in Heaven and
helps them to adjust to Heaven after crossing over.

Raziel
Judaic, Cabalistic
Raziel works very closely with the Creator and its believed he knows
all of the secrets of the Universe and how it operates. He wrote down
all of these secrets in a tome of symbols and Divine magic called
"The Book of the Angel Raziel".  After Adam and Eve were expelled
from Eden, Raziel gave Adam the book for guidance about manifestation
and God's grace. Later the prophet Enoch received the book prior to
his ascension and transformation into Archangel Metatron. Noah was
also given a copy of the book by Archangel Raphael and Noah used the
information to build his ark and help its inhabitants after the flood.
Raziel can help you understand esoteric material, manifestation
principles, sacred geometry, quantum physics and other high-level
information. He can also open you up to higher levels of psychic
abilities and increase your ability to see, hear, know and feel
Divine guidance. Like a Divine wizard, Raziel can also assist you
with alchemy, clairvoyance, and divine magic.

Sandalphon
Judaic, Cabalistic
Only one of the two Archangels whose name doesn't end with an "el",
Sandalphon is the twin brother of Archangel Metatron. The twins are
the only Archangels in Heaven who were originally mortal men.
Sandalphon was the prophet Elijah and Metatron was the wise man
Enoch. God gave both men their immortal assignments as Archangels to
reward them for their good work upon Earth, allowing them to continue
their sacred service from Heaven.
Elijah's ascension occurred when he was lifted up to Heaven in a
fiery chariot pulled by two horses of fire, accompanied by a
whirlwind, an even recorded in the second chapter of the Book of 2
Kings.

Sandalphon's chief role is to carry human prayers to God so they may
be answered.  He's said to be so tall that he extends from Earth to
Heaven. Ancient Cabalistic lore says that Sandalphon can help
expectant parents determine the gender of their forthcoming child and
many also believe that he's involved with music as well.
