Archangel Uriel
Copyright © Lotus ~ October 3rd, 2004
There are many Archangels of love
and light. Previously, I highlighted three of them and Uriel
is the last of the "Four Angels of the Presence” …
Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.
Archangel Uriel's, whose name means,
"Fire of God," "God is Light; or "Radiation
of God," is very versatile. Legend tells us Archangel Uriel
is thought to have been the "Spirit who stood at the "Gate
of the lost Eden" with his fiery sword. He is also referred
to as "The Angel of Repentance" and commonly thought
to be the Angel who holds the keys to the "Gates of Hell."
Uriel is often depicted with an open
hand holding a flame, which is said to be the "Flame of
Love." This symbol of an open hand holding a flame depicts
a great gift to humanity. It is the "Flame of Love"
to ignite the hearts of those in service to God and he offers
the "Flame of Love" to all souls, to help draw us
closer to purer Divine understanding.
As the "Interpreter of Prophecies,"
Uriel is usually depicted carrying a book or a papyrus scroll,
and/or possessing his Fiery Sword. He is the ruler over magick,
devotion, alchemy, universal cosmic consciousness and the "Winds
of Change." [Every purpose under heaven, every trial we
rise above... brings the "Winds of Change."] Uriel
bestows upon us the gift of prophecy; call on him for help in
developing your intuitive abilities.
In Jewish tradition, he is believed
to have given the Kabbalah to the Jews.
The Book of Enoch describes Uriel
being sent by God to warn Noah of the impending flood, and elsewhere
it is written that he disclosed the mysteries of the heavenly
arcana to Ezra, and also led Abraham out of Ur in the Chaldean
region.
In Christian tradition, Uriel is
the Angel of Music, Poetry and Prophecy. He was accepted by
the Church for centuries, but removed from the records in 745
AD because Church officials became increasingly alarmed with
the prominence the public was placing upon angels.
In the Angelic Hierarchy, Uriel
is considered the Angel of the Earth and of the inter-relationship
of all life upon the earth. It is said, Uriel communicates and
oversees the Nature Spirits, sprites who inhabit the elements
of earth, air, fire and water.
All of us know from personal experience
how difficult it can be to forgive someone who has wounded us
deeply. Uriel is seen as a wise sage who helps shed a new perspective
on troubling situations. He is wonderful in bringing healing
and divine light into our lives. He can assist us in releasing
the virtue of forgiveness, enfolding us in waves of peace.
He is also credited with helping
to prevent and minimize danger in natural disasters including
floods, droughts, fires, hurricanes, cyclones/tornadoes and
earthquakes.
Whenever life feels chaotic, turbulent
and overwhelming, Uriel can smooth the path and help you remain
focused on inner peace especially during a crisis. If you are
experiencing problems with co-workers, customers/clients or
even your superior, call on Uriel to help. If you find yourself
in the midst of a self-imposed crisis, he can be of assistance
there too.
Before beginning a
new project, ask Uriel to join you. He will inspire, encourage
and motivate you for he is instrumental in helping to manifest
our goals and dreams. You can invoke Uriel's help by simply
calling out to him. Remember, no request is too trivial. He
can wrap you in a healing balm of rainbow colors.
Once summoned, you may see sparkles
of violet, indigo, lavender and silver. If you would like to
add candles when summoning him, here are the colors to choose
from, white, violet, indigo and silver.
Archangel Uriel is the alchemy of
Universal Order and is symbolic of the following:
Element - Earth Direction - South - this is the direction to
face when invoking his help
Crystal: Amber
Astrological Sign: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
Planet: Venus
There are times I may choose to call
upon the four Archangels for guidance, help or for protection.
When I invoke their help, Archangel Michael always appears on
my right, Archangel Gabriel stands on my left, Archangel Raphael
stands directly behind me and Archangel Uriel in front of me.
When all four surround me, I can feel the circle of power and
protection embracing me. As the energy grows stronger I will
then visualize a stream of white light descending down from
above, entering my crown chakra and moving through my body.
I am comforted by the sense of peace that envelops me, and I
am surrounded with a cloak of divine love. It is difficult to
explain the gentle sacredness this beautiful exercise manifests.
The light is known as "Shekinah," the female side
of our Creator.
This is a wonderful exercise that
offers an incredible protective shield. Working with the Archangels
and the light enhances the component of love and peace that
I believe will awe and inspire you. If you attempt this exercise,
always remember to thank the Archangels individually for their
love, guidance and protection.
"For nothing worth proving
can be proven, nor, yet disproven, wherefore thou be wise, cleave,
ever to the sunnier side of doubt." - Lord Alfred Tennyson
~ The Ancient Sage, 1:66
