Archangel Sariel
The name means “God is my ruler.”
He’s an angel mainly from the Judaic tradition. In 1 Enoch (20:6), he’s said to be “1 of the 7 holy angels who watch, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit.”
Origen identified Sariel as 1 of the 7 primordial angels, as the Ophites did. The Ophites/Ophians were a Christian Gnostic sect portrayed by Hippolytus of Rome in a lost work, the Syntagma (“arrangement”). In Gnosticism, Sariel is invoked for his protective powers. He’s commemorated by the Coptic Orthodox Church on 27 Tobi in the Coptic calendar.
He’s not to be confused with the fallen watcher Sahariel (“God is my moon”), who bears a similar name. In 1 Enoch (8:1), he’s said to have taught humans the course of the moon.
In traditional texts, the archangel Sariel is 1 of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits that sin in the spirit. He’s 1 of the angels who look upon the bloodshed on Earth, along with Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, & Uriel.
In the book of 2 Enoch, he’s listed (the name of Samuil or Sariel) as 1 of the angels that brought Enoch to heaven.
The book of War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness (from the Dead Sea Scrolls) lists the name of Sariel (“God is my ruler”) along with Michael, Raphael, & Gabriel as names to write up on the shields of soldiers – in a tower during maneuvers. It’s used on the shields of the 3rd Tower.
In the Ladder of Jacob, Sariel is dispatched by God to explain to him the meaning of the dream about the ladder.
The Liber Juratus of Honorius of Thebes contains several translations that list Sariel as one of the angels of the 8th month, which is called marquesnan heshvan. Marquesnan Heshvan (or Marcheshvan/Cheshvan) is the 2nd month of the civil & the 8th month of the ecclesiastical Hebrew Calendar. Sariel as 1 of “The names for the angels of the 10th month, which is called Tevet.”
The month of Hesvan marquesnan would make Sariel’s ruler Barfiell, or the month of Tevet would make the ruler Anael. The Lesser Key of Solomon lists the Duke’s Asteliel & Gedial as commanding Sariel by night.
