Archangel Gabriel
The Archangel
Gabriel is the exalted Messenger of God, whose name means "The Strength of
God" and whose deeds are recorded in the Jewish scriptures, where the spirit
aided the Prophet Daniel in the interpretation of his dream-visions.
Although an
important
In the
Christian Bible, it is Gabriel who brings important news to Zachary and the
Virgin Mary concerning their children-to-be, and many Christians believe that
at the Last Judgement Gabriel will blow a sacred
trumpet horn.
Furthermore,
according to Muslims, Gabriel dictated the Koran to Mohammed over a period of
23 years and also accompanied the Prophet on his Night Journey.
Some people
believe that Gabriel is a female spirit; others hold that angels have no
gender.
Because of
Gabriel's role as a communicator and mediator between Heaven and Earth, Roman
Catholics hold him to be a Patron Saint of broadcasters, telecommunications
workers, diplomats, messengers, postal workers, and stamp collectors.
Because
Gabriel helped the prophet Daniel interpret his dreams, those seeking similar

Because of
Gabriel's eminent position, holy cards, candles, and anointing oils bearing the
likeness of this archangel have long been widely available. These are used by
spiritual practitioners who wish to keep the image of Gabriel before them as a
simple adjunct to their prayers and devotions. It is said that those who light
a novena candle to the Archangel Gabriel will receive news they have been
awaiting.
There are a
total of seven senior Archangels according to ancient Jewish beliefs -- of whom
four are most commonly petitioned, those being Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel.
In African
American magic or rootwork, two of them are
associated with a powerful natural curio called Angelica Root or Archangel
Root. Archangel Michael, the eldest, is used with Angelica Root as a defender
of women. Archangel Gabriel who is concerned with the announcements of
pregnancy, is allied with this root in its role as an herbal tonic for women's
reproductive health.
