Ieiazel, the guardian angel of consolation

Some presences soothe us before a single word is spoken. Ieiazel is one of them: the guardian angel who comes to heal sorrows, loosen the ties that stifle, and give the soul back its freedom to breathe.

If you were born between October 9 and 13, he has been your guardian since your very first day.

Ieiazel's characteristics — ייזאל

Who is the angel Ieiazel?

Ieiazel is the angel of consolation and deliverance. Where others bring raw strength or wisdom, he brings comfort: he reaches out to those the sorrow has knocked down, and helps them rise again freer than before.

The origin of the name Ieiazel

Ieiazel is the fortieth sacred name of the Shem HaMephorash — the 72 divine names drawn by the kabbalists from the three verses of Exodus (XIV, 19-21). His Hebrew name ייזאל literally translates as "God who brings joy". He is also called the God of comfort, so deep is his calling to restore joy to those who have lost it. The traditional call from the Psalms is: "Lord, why do you reject my prayer, why do you hide your face from me?" (Psalm 88, v.14).

His place in the angelic hierarchy

Ieiazel belongs to the choir of the Powers — the angels of courage and self-mastery, placed under the authority of the Sephirah Gevurah, that of just rigor. He is its eighth and final link. His ruling archangel is Camael, guardian of inner strength, whose power Ieiazel softens to put it at the service of consolation.

His spiritual mission

His mission is twofold: to liberate and to console. Ieiazel undoes the invisible chains — a hold, a dependency, an old fear — and gives each of us back the ability to act freely. To those whom life has wounded, he offers a balm: the certainty that pain, however deep, is never the last word.

He is also said to have a special affinity with words and creation: he inspires writers, artists and all who seek to give shape to their inner world. After confiding a sorrow to him, many say they found — almost without noticing — the desire to create and move forward again.

If Ieiazel is your protecting angel, know that he always watches over you, wherever you are. He may even decide to send you a message when he feels you need to hear him, through a mirror hour. Stay attentive 😉.

Why call upon the guardian angel Ieiazel?

We turn to Ieiazel in the moments when we feel trapped — by a sorrow, a situation or ourselves — and need a hand to gently loosen the grip.

He does not erase the ordeal with a wave of a wand: he walks with you through it and gives you back, at the end of the road, a freer and more peaceful self.

You can call upon Ieiazel if:

• A sorrow overwhelms you: grief, a breakup, deep sadness or melancholy you cannot shake off.
• A hold is keeping you back: a toxic relationship, a dependency, a habit or a fear that stops you from moving on.
• Your creativity has faded: an artistic block, a lack of inspiration, the urge to reconnect with writing or self-expression.
• You lack confidence: shyness, insecurities or self-doubt that keep you at a distance from others.

How to invoke Ieiazel?

The ideal moment

Ieiazel is especially attentive during his annual regency days: April 28, July 10, September 21, December 3 and February 14. Within the day, he is most receptive between 1:00 and 1:20 pm. This short window is a privileged appointment to confide a sorrow or an intention of liberation.

How to prepare

Choose a quiet place where no one will disturb you, and take a few minutes to breathe and let your shoulders drop. If you can, light some Benzoin and Myrrh incense. You may hold a Coral stone in your hand to strengthen the connection. What matters most is sincerity.
