Sephirothic Archangels

An introduction to the Archangels of the Tree of Life

Each of the spheres of The Tree of Life are associated with a specific Archangel. These angelic associations represent the ruling power of the sphere in the realm of Briah. The archangels are considered to be the messengers of God, and as the highest manifestation of the sephiroth below the abyss they are symbols of the highest attainment of each sphere which can be intellectualy understood or visualized. They are the purest manifestations of divinity which can exist in the plural universe, and are therefore the focus of some of the most powerful and illuminating mysticism and magick of qabalah. On the way of return they represent the ultimate goals of the humman personality. Here is a brief introduction to each of the 10 sephirothic archangels, based largely on an analysis of their Hebrew names:

Metatron

Ratziel

Tzaphqiel

Tzadqiel

Kamael

Raphael

Haniel

Michael

Gabriel

Sandalphon
