Name:
Barachiel (who is also often known as "Barakiel") means "God's blessings." Other spellings include Barchiel, Baraqiel, Barkiel, Barbiel, Barakel, Baraqel, Pachriel, and Varachiel.


Barachiel (Heb. ברכיאל "Bārkiʼēl", Lightning of God; 
Arabic: بُراقيل "Burāqīl") 

is one of the seven Archangels in Eastern Orthodox tradition.



In the Third Book of Enoch he is described as one of the angelic princes, with a myriad of some 496,000 ministering angels attending him. 
He is counted as one of the four ruling seraphim, and counted the prince of the second heaven and of the order of confessors. 
He is described in the Almadel of Solomon as one of the chief angels of the first and fourth chora.

He is regarded as the angel of lightning.
   

Main Characteristics:
Barachiel is known as the angel of blessings. 
He intercedes in prayer before God for people in need, 
asking God to give them blessings in all areas of their lives -- from their relationships with family and friends to their work. 
People ask for Barachiel's help pursuing success in their pursuits.

 Since Barachiel is also the chief of all guardian angels, 
people sometimes ask for Barachiel's help delivering a blessing through one of their personal guardian angels.

 

Symbols:
In art, Barachiel is usually depicted scattering rose petals that represent God's sweet blessings showering down on people, or holding a white rose (which also symbolizes blessings) to his chest. However, sometimes images of Barachiel show him holding either a basket that's overflowing with bread, or a staff, both of which symbolize the blessings of children that God bestows on parents. Barachiel sometimes appears in feminine form in paintings that emphasize Barachiel's nurturing work delivering blessings. Like all archangels, Barachiel doesn't have a specific gender and can manifest as either a male or a female, according to what works best in a given situation.
 

 In iconography Barachiel is sometimes shown holding a white rose against the chest, 
or  with rose petals scattered on the clothing particularly the cloak.

 The scattering of rose petals was to symbolize or represent God's sweet blessings showering down on people. 
In Roman Catholicism, Barachiel is depicted holding a bread basket or a staff
both of which symbolize the blessings of children that God bestows on parents.

Role in Religious Texts:
The third Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish text, describes archangel Barachiel as one of the angels who serve as great and honored angelic princes in heaven, and mentions that Barachiel leads 496,000 other angels who work with him. Barachiel is part of the seraphim class of angels who guard God's throne, as well as the leader of all the guardian angels who work with humans during their earthly lifetimes.



  


Other Religious Roles:

Barachiel's responsibilities are as varied as the blessings for which the archangel is named, 
Barachiel is also the chief of the guardian angels 
 and it is written that 
Barachiel may be asked for all the benefits which the guardian angel is thought to confer
 if one is not asking to the guardian angel directly, but as an intercession. 

Barachiel is also traditionally associated with the month of February  


Barachiel is an official saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church, 
and he is also venerated as a saint by some members of the Roman Catholic Church. 
Catholic tradition says that Barachiel is the patron saint of marriage and family life. 

  

In astrology, Barachiel rules the planet Jupiter and is linked to the Pisces and Scorpio zodiacal signs. Barachiel is traditionally said to inspire a sense of humor in people who encounter God's blessings through him.

  4. I highly recommend the book, 'Ask and It is Given' by Esther (Abraham) Hicks. There is plenty more material by them, including YouTube videos. It is life-changing. We all hold the power to create our realities. It was some interesting synchronicities that led me today to realizing that Archangel Barakiel is an important guiding force in my life.

  10. I had a dream that I was laying out in my yard looking at the stars. I was looking at Pleiades . Pleiades are in some beliefs believed to be the seven angels of God. The seven stars then lined up in a row/line and came down from outer space and went through my head and put my feet one by one. After they did this I was lifted into the sky and was going toward a bright light. When I got close to the bright light I was jolted with lightening. I then woke up.
    I had this dream on Saturday. The angel that goes with Saturday is Barachiel. He is also the angel of lightening. And earlier that day I was outside and I noticed that there were many butterflies . I even said to my husband , “ wow! Look at all the butterflies.” Does anyone have any thoughts of this? I’ve been having dreams of Pleiades for many years . Most of the time I’m in their constellation with them. Other times in my dreams I see them shoot across the sky and sometimes they fall to the earth. I feel like God is trying to tell me something.
