Jophiel

Jophiel (יוֹפִיאֵל), also known as Tsophiel (צֹפִיאֵל) and Zuriel (צוּרִיאֵל), is an angel or archangel who is not listed in the scriptures, but is remembered in Hebrew text as part of a trinity of powers that stood in defense of the Jews during their most trying battles. Stories are told of Jophiel standing like a soldier of heroic sacrifice, blocking the way so that others may escape. When rooted to the spot, he cannot be moved. When present, it is said that no enemy can pass.

He encourages us to be more harmonious, sociable, and appreciative of beauty and spirituality around us. He assists in learning, passing tests, dissolution of ignorance, pride, and narrow-mindedness, and exposure of wrongdoing in governments and corporations. Jophiel fights pollution, cleaning up our planet and brings to mankind the gift of Beauty. Jophiel is also said to be ruler of the libra (an ancient unit of weight) and curer of stupidity.

Jophiel is the divine angel of vitality and reproduction, bringing fertility and evolution or change, as well as magic and mystic knowledge. He guards newborn babies - you can find amulets invoking him - and has a connection with water, with an amazing ability to create oasis and to flood where it is needed. He creates fountains and springs for the thirsty. Zuriel is also a healing angel. This beautiful angel heals illnesses, both physical and mental (including depression and dementia).
