Angel Raziel

I took another quiz from Facebook, which angel are you? And the answer is Angel Raziel. I’m not so much into all these studies of Angels. But I got curious of who this Angel really is.

And if I want to learn something, where do I go? Of course, I go to google.com first, then to Wikipedia. And so, acoording to wikipedia, Raziel (Heb. רזיאל “Secret[s] of God”), is an archangel within the teachings of Jewish mysticism (of the Kabbalah of Judaism) who is the “Keeper of Secrets” and the “Angel of Mysteries.” He is associated with the Sephira Chokmah (the second of ten) in Olam Briah, one of the Four Worlds of Kabbalistic theory.

Various teachings assign Raziel to diverse roles, including that of a Cherub, a member of the Ophanim, and chief of the Erelim.

Raziel, under the alternate name Galizur, (“Revealer of The Rock”) is described as the “ruling prince of the 2nd Heaven. He is said to expound “the Torah’s divine wisdom,” and protects the ministering angels from the Hayyoth, the “holy Creatures” that uphold the universe.
