Meet Archangel Barachiel, the Angel of Blessings
www.easterngiftshop.com
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.
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.

the guardian angels who work with humans during their earthly lifetimes.

the archangel is named,
Barachiel is also the chief of the guardian angels

if one is not asking to
the guardian angel directly, but as an intercession.

ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
